ATI Nova Freedom .177 "no warranty parts gun" (pic heavy)

[Madd Hatter]

I wonder if anybody will be coming up with a more secure front barrel band system for the freedom/ aspen. One that will lock the barrel, airtube, and pump housing together in 2 places with a option for a front sight?

Just called ATI and the Freedom I ordered on the 18th still has not left the factory ... Well I won't be shooting it this weekend for sure ;- (

Maybe they are picking out a super nice one for me ;-  )

Just got notification it has shipped, will be here Tue ;-  )

I know mine was kind of 'loose' I ended up shimming it with some card stock. Still moves poi after storage.

William I ordered mine last Wednesday and it's supposed to be here tomorrow.  I shot 4 chippers on the state land and a Ghog in my back yard no more than 5 minutes after I got home.  I seen her when I went to back my truck in my spot, when I was on my way up to the back door I seen her scurry in the wood pile so I immediately went to my shooting window and sure enough she was peeking up out of the wood pile and I let her have it.  I was using my Liberty with my cast 19.6 grainers.

All right Wayne!  Interested to see what you get.  Sounds like you got dinner!

Hi guys, does anybody know of any instruction video how to open Freedom and replace O-rings, I found Excel file with part numbers but no instruction ANYWHERE how to service it, I have 2 left hands, you might have more luck?

[Wayne52]

I have the exploded view showing part numbers etc., it's a pdf file and I got it from a posted dropbox on this forum in one of these Freedom threads.

Thanks Wayne, that's the same file (I think) I found in one of the threads, I just don't know how to disassemble the pump without making some damage like I usually do

[Wayne52]

My Freedom will be here today, can't wait to see what I'll get on this non warranty one.

Awesome, you'll love it, let us know, good luck with it, hope she will be perfect

Got the 100% silicone oil in today, lubed the guns good, and pumped both up to 3k.  I know the ganked breech gun holds air, but the jury is still out on the second gun.  After oiling, it is the first time it pumped up, so the seals must need replacing.  Maybe not.  Will see in the morning if it held air.
Good luck Wayne!

Here is some info on rebuilding the pump,  I used two 006 urethane D90 o rings on the high pressure or 3rd stage piston on mine and pumps great now.

Hi Ray, thanks a million!

I just got my Freedom and it didn't have the probe, rear sight or the manual.  It did have the single shot tray, 2 probe o rings and a small allen wrench.  I pumped it up to 3K, shot five times on high good, pumped it back up to 3K and it shoots about 10 times in the green, I then pumped it back up to 3K to see if it's going to hold pressure.  So far so good

Wayne...I have my fingers crossed for you on your new Freedom.     I sure hope there is no internal issues in you new rifle.

The suspense is killing me !      I can't wait to see your hunting post with this rifle ! 


Best Wishes - Tom

YES !!!!    Great news so far Wayne. Enjoy that beast !
FYI.... Bud's is probably the least expensive place to get mags. Fast shipping too.

[avator]

One other note.... The top of the green is 3k. The gun is rated at 3600. Crank it on up there... 

[Airspace]

If Buds is out of stock Amazon has 22 gauntlet mags for 10.00 each and free shipping over 25.00

[Wayne52]

I seen that it say 3600 psi on it, I just have mine pumped to 3K right now, I'll pump her up to 250bar.  I'll just use the magazines for my Liberty in it.  I did mount the rear sight on it that came off my Liberty though, I'll try it first with open sights.

[msurf]

Right on Wayne! 
My second gun shows a leak...down to about 2200 overnight.  Will try to get some silicone through the valve next.  Not discouraged, seems like a fairly slow leak.  First gun still holding.
