Nova Sentinel Autococker

[steed]

Maybe a bit of retro is what we need, the price point backs that up.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Why do so many cool markers need to come out in such a short timeframe!? I've got decades only buying three new markers and this year I want to buy several....

[Vegabond]

has anyone gotten there's yet? Are they timed from Nova or need timing?

[ChoSanJuan]

I don't have mine yet, but there are lots of videos out of people doing videos of them out of the box.

[Impactfour]

These annos are really fun, I hope they release a series of body kits eventually, as I'd love to make a pump marker from one of the banzai's but don't want a double trigger frame

[SignOfZeta]

They should use that trigger frame for when they inevitably copy the Rapide. Until then…I seriously just never want or need a lever that long. It’s totally off putting and ridiculous and ruins the gun by making it look like some trash a Chinese supplier already had in a catalog somewhere.

[Ecapnation]

It does look remarkably like one that aim made and like one that came on the syndicate jinx

[SignOfZeta]

Maybe a bit of retro is what we need, the price point backs that up.

Let’s just hope it’s not Psycho Ballistics quality nostalgia.

Has anyone received theirs yet?

[Jivesauce]

I received a shipping notification on mine a couple days ago, but so far the post office hasn’t even picked up the package yet. They got hit by Hurricane Helene, so things are a little behind while everything gets up and running.

I was watching a video review on YouTube and he was making it sound like you can't short stroke, and it's just a binary on/off. Does that mean the 3way forces the trigger back? At least that was how I interpreted it. Can anyone comment on whether that's true?

[Myrkul]

Yep, I saw that one too. I don't think it forces the trigger back, I think the throw on it is just so short that you can't actually short stroke it.

We definitely need one of the cocker experts here to get one and really dig into it to be sure though.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Nova has a video going over there cocker and they talk about and show their 5-way valve and how it works.

[Jivesauce]

Got mine today! I don’t have any air, so I’m going to be a huge disappointment to everyone, but I’ll try to get my little compressor set back up this weekend so I can fill my tanks and do some shooting.

Just visually my first impressions are positive. I’m not super knowledgeable about machining like some of the guys here, but to my eyes it looks very well made and the grip feels
comfortable. The trigger feels short and light without air, with kind of a softer stop than I’m used to, almost like it has a rubber bumper limiting travel or something, I need to take the grip off and see if it’s something there, or if the travel is limited by something in the new 5-way.

I watched part of a video of Jason Antle giving first impressions and his came a little poorly timed, but he seemed impressed after fixing that. He also offered free help for anyone who wasn’t familiar with Cockers to get theirs timed if it wasn’t right out of the box, which I thought was nice of him.

[Myrkul]

I saw that Antle video too. Overall this is looking like a really good gun. It's getting harder and harder to not smash that "add to cart button".
