Any US importers carrying this gun?

[Wayne52]

OOoops I was thinking of the wrong gun on my last post I was thinking about my Airmax Dominator, a whole different type of regulator than my Liberty.  Actually the regs on the Liberty seem to work just fine.

I made some time this morning to get to know my $100 Freedom parts gun a little better. It would pump up but not hold pressure over night so I lubed the heck out of it with silicon oil and now it holds pressure forever, or at least 2 weeks since I last pumped it up. I also had a chance to use my Clamp On Velocity Meter. It's nice to finally know how fast the pellets are coming out. I adjusted the hammer screw all the way in then backed it out one full turn. I was shooting 14.3 gr CPHP . First shot came out at 1214 fps and definitely was not back yard friendly so I backed it out until the velocity was around 900 fps. Still not back yard friendly, lol.

I want to give a big Thank You to Stephen! I received his AVS Sampler pack of slugs and got to try them at 25 yds this morning, I know they are designed for longer distances but that's as far as I can shoot in my shop. I shot three 26.1 gr slugs at 900 fps and stopped there, it was one ragged hole. I want to save the rest to try them at longer distances. If my math is correct that's almost 47 FPE. The AVS slugs are amazing!

question, you were shooting the 14.3gr at 900 and then to test the slugs you changed the HST again so you could get your 26.1gr to 900 again? I think I missed that part.

I didn't change the setting and on the first shot, it actually was at 950 fps, then I turned it out 1/4 turn to get it back down to 900 fps. Keep in mind I was using the Clamp On Velocity Meter from China that was posted in the Bargain Gate so I'm not positive the readings are accurate. One peculiar thing I've found with my Freedom, my first one or two shots will be lower fps then the next one or two then back down again. A couple of weeks ago I was shooting the 14.3 gr CPHP at 45 yds and the velocity readings matched what I saw on the target. I'd get two high then two low. The only thing I can think of is that I may have put too much silicon oil in and it's working it's way out one shot at a time

I pumped it up to 3000 psi and by the 4th shot the reg was down around 2200 psi. It's kind of hard to know exactly what psi you have with the itty bitty gauge face. So at 900 fps it's really using up a lot of air per shot.

This is some shot strings I did with my aspen aka freedom.  I used the tripod chinese version of the crono. I guess I should try to repeat these shot strings with my Calwell crono and compare. Of course I can't repeat the shot strings with the chicom crono as I've killed it with the last time I shot it. Took 6 shots to kill so tough little thing.

OK boys, how do I take off the plastic stock on my Liberty ?

I'm trying to get to my trigger guard screw that helps hold the gun in the stock. The plate on the bottom needs to be removed, but I don't want to bugger it all up.

Will removing the two screws on one side panel and the sling swivel do it ?

I got it!!!! FINALLY. After dillon said it was 2 pieces i took another look. So the forearm is 2 halves held by the front swivel stud & 2 allen screws on the side of stock. When i spread them apart it felt like i was going to break some tabs but i got both sides off without anything breaking. Did i mention i hate taking plastic apart!! Anyway right in front of the trigger guard there is a rectangular cut out with a circle in the middle. I used a jewelers screwdriver & drove it in at the seam of the circle. It a long plug with an allen bolt under it. Unscrewing that just takes the rectangular piece off. Then you will see another allen bolt going right into the action. Remove that & the buttstock comes off. This setup looks like a lot more work then if they just used a regular stock with a drop in action, but they must have their reasons. So know we know how to get the stock off. Now if someone wants to dig in the trigger & let me know what to do i would appreciate it. I am not familiar with working on triggers so i will leave that up to you guys. It looks like 2 allen screws & the trigger group  drops out of a housing. I would like to get my trigger down to 1 lb or less. BTW i am leaving the plug out as it serves no purpose except to cover the screw hole.

Pat figured it out awhile ago..

I went thru the same thing and just ended up leaving the round plug out so I could get to the front bolt. The thing that gets me is it's basically the same as the freedoms rear stock and where the plug and rectangular piece is is where the pump handle tucks up in the stock. Kind of not worthy that they didn't put the hole in the back so if you made a HS adj you could accesses it. sigh! Drill here I come. Gotta have that HS adj.

Can the stock be left on and the round cap just drilled out, and then the stock screw be taken out ?

[Madd Hatter]

If you drill out the round piece you still have to remove the plate that the screw under the round piece holds. It's NOT a very good design as the plate piece and the bolt that holds the stock on should've been the same one.

So I can't just drill it down to the bottom and get to the stock screw ? boy oh boy this sounds like a real cluster. If a hole is drilled can something be put in to pull that round plug out ?

I took the screws out and the sling screw, but when expanding them I know the plastic tabs will break off ... just like they did on my Freedom, but the Freedom is OK ;- )

Does anyone have a picture of how that round plug fits in that piece ?

Can I drill a small hole and put in a drywall screw and pull the plug out ?

wll

[darkcharisma]

i used a knife to pry it out. i threw it away afterwards. needless scrap.

if you drill and pull with a screw. might as well junk it.

[wll2506]

Well I pulled the plug out added another .050 to the shim width and put her back together ... she went from 775fps with JSB Heavies to ~930 fps. To say that I'm flabbergasted at the performance would be an understatement for sure.

Wow, what a gun !!

If it bothers you not having the plug, go to the auto parts store and ask them to match it up....

[wll2506]

Ok, have any of you found a way to remove the back screws on your trigger without removing the trigger mechanism.

My pull is manageable but I would love to make it crisper ?

Any ideas ?

[Madd Hatter]

Have you watched Stephens vid on disassembling the Liberty? I't on his AVS youtube channel.

Ya Robert I have seen all his Liberty videos, the one I want to see is the one Steve took down I believe because of safety concerns.....over the modification of the power wheel.

Orion’s video shows trigger disassembly but I don’t want to take the plastic stock off again———what a pain.

I may just live with a 3 lb trigger till I really need to take it apart for some reason :-(

The one screw that is backwards is just a grub screw and doesn’t do anything. Maybe try a small easyout bit to get it out.

Yes, may try that.
