Any US importers carrying this gun?

[Madd Hatter]

Yes, I will find time to test all 4 weights. Since I have an easy to adjust hammer spring adjuster it should not be too bad to do. I will also test shooting the slugs into water jugs to see how they expand. Maybe even try some penetration tests.

I'll post a video as soon as the testing is complete.

Robert, I'm looking forward to see your results. Stay cool. I hate shooting when the weather is above 90. It takes me a little to get used to the hot weather. I prefer 30 degrees Fahrenheit over 90.

Hey Stepen, do you have any idea what the BC is on your slugs??? I wonder if the BC would compare to the cast slugs that are the same wt?

I do not know the exact BC but my next outting I will buy a second chrony and measure the velocity at the muzzle and down range and do the calculation.

Cool , which weight slug did you find worked best in your Liberty?

[AVS Stephen]

Don't shoot your down range chrony Stephen.

I plan to place a small piece of Plexi glass in front of the chrony. I have shot my camera once.

Robert, so far it seems that the 23 grain did the best. But they all work very well.

Stephen did you ever get a chance to shoot the pellets I sent

You know, even with the new valve and the HS shimmed my Liberty and the barrel from my freedom which has the TP opened to 3/16 and is polished with JB still doesn't seem to kick as much as my freedom and all I've done to my freedom is have the HS 1 turn out from bottomed which it came from the MFG only 1 1/2 turns out from bottomed.

[AVS Stephen]

Wayne, I have not gotten a chance to get to the range. But I will. There so pretty I just stare at them every now and again. I can see that if smoothness and uniformity count for make a diabolo pellet fly straight then your pellets are going to be great. I will film my results.

Could it be that the liberty has a different balance?

[Wayne52]

That's great Stephen I've never seen what they'd do on a range except for some groups of other people casting their own, Bob Sterne has shown the best so far but most of his seem to be the bigger bores recently, they're the same basic pellet designs but just bigger.  There are a couple of people that tried them in their FX's and Daystate also, they said they were really shooting excellent but no targets.  At one time there were a bunch of us that would go shooting at a gravel pit on a friends place and we had targets and different distances but he's passed on and that's now a thing of the past.  Now days I shoot mainly dead trees in the woods for plinking but don't have the convenience of rests out there like a person has on a range.

I too wish I had a closer range to go to but It is what it is. I'm going to try for this Friday as the winds are supposed to be 7 mph which is great for diabolo pellets. Keeping my fingers crossed.

My .22 Liberty has developed a leak so I'm looking to buy a package of o-rings.
I thought I'd seen a post somewhere stating that ATI was offering such a thing but I couldn't find it on their site and now I can't find the post here.
Did I imagine it? 
If not would someone point me in the correct direction.

BTW: The leak manifests as a leak down from any pressure above ~2500psi down to that level in a day or so and then it either stops or leaks so slow its hard to detect.  Any thoughts on whether this is an o-ring or maybe the reg or poppet?  I have 4 or 5 hundred rounds through the rifle so it's essentially just broke in, but has been accurate from the start.
I did have a leak a few months ago that was the o-ring at the junction of the reservoir to the regulator block, disassembly, o-ring lube and reassembly resolved it, at least for a while, this leak may be at the same spot.

Thanks

Not sure if that's the case or I'm just remembering wrong. It's been so hot and or windy it's been inposible to do any shooting.

Waiting on Jennifer as I have a few questions ... Soon as I hear from her the order is placed ;-  )

Well, after doing a couple of shot strings I can definitely say this rifle has some serious kick. It had a peak of 38.4 ftlbs with CPHP at 14.3 g and 43.8 with H&N 21.14 g Barracudas. It wouldn't do very good with the pressure above 3200 psi also.

[Back_Roads]

 Adding a small washer or two behind the hammer spring will give you quite a boost in power at the higher fill pressures. It will change where the sweet spot is through a full air charge shot string.

[Madd Hatter]

I did add a shim but it still doesn't get much vel until it gets down to 3200. Above that it's just like a normal Liberty

It looks to me you might have a serious regulator creep, the higher the pressure the higher the creep and the harder will be to open the valve, causing the velocity to drop initially when the pressure is high, this will improve when the pressure is not as much as to cause too much creep. Your gun is behaving as a non regulated one.

My advice, first remove the reg and make sure you don't have any debris in the delrin seal.

If that doesn't work. You might need a new regulator

Robert, as Erlis points out your gun seems to be behaving like an unregulated gun. It's possible your regulator is just set too high. Try lowering the brass reg wheel a few notches untill you get constant shoot string. At that point you should be able to figure out your regulator pressure set point.

The last thing to do if you want to get to 50 fpe is the Dremel out the valve to a 45 degree angle and polish. Nice work!

[Madd Hatter]

I already did lower the reg back to original. I had turned it up 1/4 turn and I'm sure it was too much. I'm probably going to have to turn it down even more but want to test it first. Duy's valve really woke this rifle up and I can see the settings you used Stephen won't work with his valve.
