important things to know about ATI NOVA Liberty - Great Value and Performance

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

All I know is I watched your video over and over .. my gun had a leak now it don't I'm shooting 1/2 groups at 50 yards hole to hole with 14.13 gr jsb pellets screaming down range thank you Steve you... you've helped me out a lot .and I still can't stop watching this video lol

[@AirVelocitySport]

Glad the video helped. You made my day!

[@HajimotoProductions]

Another super informative video presentation of the ATI Nova Liberty getting tune session. You nailed it in this video when it comes to easy to follow, well-illustrated instructions to walk a person through the steps required to check and approve a Liberty safely take the next level. Thank you for the shout out Stephen I appreciate the nod, my friend. I can't wait to dive into my Liberty as soon as the weather allows me to catch up. See in the next one!

Haji: Waiting with baited breath for assessment of this AirR. I thought like Arron Cantrell I was through buying more AirR. HAHA!!!

[@rick31869]

OMG HAJI ,YOU FINALLY GOT A NOVA ? , DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THE FREEDOM YET ? 6 MONTHS 1000'S OF DIFFERENT PELLETS AND SLUGS AND NO PROBLEMS !!!

[@molecatcher3383]

Another Nova Liberty master class. For many of us being able to adjust/modify/tune our airguns gives us as much pleasure as shooting it and it is thanks to pioneers like yourself that a trail is blazed for us to follow. On the subject of the transfer port , do you know what percentage of maximum power (approximately) the low power port delivers? I am looking forward to seeing how your hammer spring adjustment wheel modification develops. Thank you for sharing all your great work with us.

[@AirVelocitySport]

Thanks for kind words. Glad it helps. I believe the low power is about 60% of full power

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Thanks for the videos they help out a lot thanks bubby ...cant wait to get my gun

[@markrobason1610]

You’ve done an excellent job of developing this gun. I tried all but the relief of the barrel and transfer ports and the hammer adjuster. I had some issues with the adjustment of the regulator, but will try again based on your thorough efforts. I sent 2 of 3 magazines bak for the same issues, ATI was quick to replace them at no cost. Keep up the great work!

[@AirVelocitySport]

Thank you!

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Just got mine mag. We're all jacked up they didn't work and my gun leaks geez

[@elcues]

I bought one inn.22cal. a few months back. I was waiting for a scope and rings and an adapter for a moderator. Finally got everything an realize I have no fill probe. Some guns do not come with one and some do. I do not remember seeing it but never the less I tried to acquire one form ATI. I did not try to get it using a warranty. I just wanted to purchase one. I was told I had to purchase another gun to get one. ATI has NO PARTS what so ever for the air rifles they are a US distributor for. I do not think I will buy anything else from American Tactical-US. I have a useless brand new .22 Nava Liberty. I have been looking on line to no avail for a prob. Love Your Vids. Thank You for you time and trouble. I know all you do is greatly appreciated by the air gun community.

[@AirVelocitySport]

Yes, it sucks that ATI does not provide parts but you can contact Duy AKA Darkcharisma on GTA forum and he most likely can make you one. I'm making a video now on parts for the ATI Nova liberty and he is the guy that currently has them.

[@elcues]

@@AirVelocitySport Could you e-mail me a photo of the probe for the Nova Liberty. I need the specifications in order to duplicate one. I did receive contact from the person you recommended. Your assistance would be and is Greatly Appreciated. Edward L.([e-mail])

[@thisisbadstuff]

That "plastic" underneath the set screw by the breach is an o-ring intended to keep air from going around the barrel and leaking out the top.

[@Gunner-ll1zd]

I really appreciate this video! I got a gun that leaked, watched your video and fixed the gun!!! Thank you!!!

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

How did you fix it ? Mine leaks too

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

If you can tell me thank you

[@banshee350cc]

Informative video, helps in disassembly. A few false observations. ie the "plastic thing" that falls out and you "don't need" is a sealing washer between the barrel and the large rearward barrel set screw. If you have removed the barrel you will see this system used orings to seal on each side of the barrels transfer port. The manufacturer does this with a single piece breech system for ease of manufacturing. If you reinstall the barrel and do not use the plastic piece between the barrel and the set screw you will have a small leak of air through the threads of the set screw. Just one of the things I picked up on.

I have the same except mine goes up instead of droops. Did you ever figure out what to do about it?

[@thecsucihai]

Your videos series on the Nova Liberty are the best! Thanks your for all your effort in producing these videos. I recently purchase a Nova Liberty based on the information from your videos. Unfortunately, my Liberty developed a leak after about a month in and had to send it back to ATI for repair. It is in transit back to me right now but it is kind worrying to me that some of the o-rings are hard to find for this gun. Do you have any worry about this? ATI, if you are reading this post please do something about this. I am ready to send you some money for an o-ring kit!

[@aquapatito]

Don't worry, right outta the box mine wouldn't be able to hold past 2100psi and sent it back and got a brand new one, no questions asked.

Whenever I get stuck with my airgun problems. Your videos are the best one which gives me how to tackle those problems. You really make great detailed videos. Before I buy airgun I always watch your video first. Can you please tell me where do we use delrin and Teflon washer?

[@edyfogolin]

Thanks for your videos. I have this rifle and is a realy good one for this price. I like the power adjust in "High and Low", because for doves I use it in Low power with Crosman Premiere 14.3 grains pellets and is amazing. More than 90 shots and no refill. And for Hares or Rabbits at long distance I use it in High Power with heavies pellets like H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme in 18.52 grains and is realy good too. I can go for hunting only with 2 different pellets and adjust the power for each one in a second, and reverse for the othes when I need it. Only need to know where aim with each one... Hammer Spring´s pre load adjusters, or Regulator adjustments are for different kind of rifles. Different uses. Not this kind of simple, cheap, and Entry Level Rifle. Yo can play with hammer spring preload, or Reg adjustments as you show. But in the end the "LOW & HIGH" power adjustment is a REALY GOOD ADVANTAGE in this rifle.

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

So you didn't drill any hole in your gun ? Im asking cause I order one and don't know if I want to drill hole in mine im afraid to mess it up

So I got my barrel drilled to 3/16", reg turned CCW approx 1/8 to 1/4 and shimmed hammer with .08" washer. VERY EASY to work on..love it. Question is..if wanting gun more quiet and efficient, shouldn't I be deshimming hammer to lighten while increasing reg? That's how I tuned my AT44s and they are very quiet. As said before my goal is 900 fps with 14.3 gr on LOW setting. Thanks for another GREAT VIDEO!! UR AWESOME!!

[@AirVelocitySport]

Yes, this is why I'm telling everyone about it. Crossman, Umarax and Gamo better wake up or they will be left behind.im hoping they take notice and make solid $330 airgun to compete with Nova

[@Don.E.63]

I wonder what the parts availability for the nova liberty will be? Does anyone know if the O rings and things like that will be able to be had or are they common sized?

[@mvonbeamer]

I just bought one. Thanks for the great review. Can you tell me what pellets it likes in 22 caliber? I have a Vulcan. Bought this for my wife so we can shoot together without breaking the bank . Also what sized scope rings work best?

[@Freedom-lo7sn]

Question about fpe, I assume the fpe is read right as the pellet leaves the barrel? If so, How do you knowl the fpe at the time of an actual strike on a target? say, at 25 yards. It must change over distance, no? I absolutely love your videos. So clear and precise. I recently purchased the Umarex Origin. I believe the mods you have employed for the Liberty may work with the Origin. Pretty sure they're the same manufacturer too. I haven't fired my Origin yet, still watching repeatedly to learn your mods before I dismantle it. I watched another vid of the sweet spot for multiple rounds based on psi for the Origin, the Origin is a 3625 psi rifle. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the psi sweet spot for the Liberty can be had with the Origin as well, with tweaking and mods, opinion? Also, an idea of sorts, I think (and I could be wrong) with some mods I could change the barrel to shoot .25 rather than .22 and still have efficient psi to find a sweet spot .... opinions? This is my first pcp and I'm hooked. Thanks, again, You do phenomenal work here.

[@AirVelocitySport]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, the pellet is always fastest leaving the muzzle and velocity slows down the further from the muzzle it gets. I measure velocities at two points using two chronometers one at the muzzle the other at a hundred yards or whatever yardage you'd like.you can then calculate the ballistic coefficient by knowing the velocity weight and other factors such as temperature and barometric pressure along with projectile shape to come up with something called a ballistic coefficient. The reason I shoot slugs in airguns is to have a high ballistic coefficient and thus the slug retains much of its energy even out to a hundred yards. Pellets lose so much more energy at 100 yards because of the shape. The origin is a good gun but I prefer regulated guns. Regulated guns allow you to shoot more consistently. Generally irregulated gun shoots a flat curve until it reaches the regulated pressure and then reduces. The Liberty and the air Venturi Avenger both have a regulator that allows me to get very consistent shots weather at high power or low power. The origin will have to be shot at a PSI range as shown in hajimoto's video. I believe the flattest curve is between 3200 PSI and 2600 PSI but don't quote me. As you get into pcps more you will really appreciate a regulated gun and you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a great one but you will have to purchase a compressor as you will go through a lot of air and you do not want to be hand pumping regulated guns that have a fill pressure up to 4350 psi. Believe me I understand that it can be expensive but it doesn't have to be a young hang compressor for around $300 a bottle for around $400 and maybe a few accessories for another few hundred and you are set for a very very long time.I know not everybody has a lot of money but if you really enjoy shooting it will be money well spent. I wish you a ton of luck and happy shooting.

[@AirVelocitySport]

Yes you can probably modify the origin but because it is unregulated you may alter the shot curve by opening up the transfer and barrel Port.unfortunately the only way to know is to actually do the mods and then test using a chronograph.

[@TheMontanaBladesmith]

Just getting into air rifles, and am making my way through "springers" and "piston" guns. Accuracy is paramount to me, while still being able to take small game. I am considering the Nova Liberty.... but along with PCP comes the need for a compressor (for medical reasons I cannot use a manual pump) which costs far more than the rifle. Would be interested on suggestions for a QUALITY, yet reasonably priced compressor for PCP guns.

[@AirVelocitySport]

Generally quality and cost are correlated. Obviously the more something cost the better it should be built. There is a very large Gray line with price and quality when it comes to PCP compressors.at around the $1,200 Mark you have the middle of the road air Venturi and hats on compressors. These are pretty good compressors but not the highest. Around the four thousand to $6,000 Mark you find the British high-end compressors. On The low end you have the young hang style compressor at around $300 in my opinion the young hang at its price point has much more value than the $1,200 compressors. The young hang does need a little bit of care in order to have some. But they are no more fragile than the $1,200 compressors. it's true that at the $300 price point you are more likely to have a few little issues that need to be taken care of. But in my opinion it is worth the $900 savings.

[@vansantsam]

Better than the adjuster wheel - have a large transfer port and a screw from the side that screws into the transfer port thus restricting the air flow, dependent on how much of the screw is in the transfer port..

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Im sorry but every time I watch this vid I lmao when there is air in the block your face says it all 😆

[@robertfeddeler5508]

That little peice of plastic you talk about around the 27 min mark in the vid is a way for sealing. The transfer port is right below it and there's no other sealing to keep the air pressure from getting to the grub screw hole. Will it let a lot of air out when assembled, no but I believe that's why it's in there. Mine has a rubber Oring in place of the peice of plastic.

[@phillipmendiola1257]

The guantlet is the gun that started the fair price full feature PCP trend. But it just has too many issues for my liking. The biggest is the cocking bolt. I have a lot of experience with that design and it just wears out too fast and becomes hard to cock and needs a lot of attention.

Hi like wat you do alot great can you please explain more about drilling of the barrel please I just bought the rifle

[@johnnybarbar7435]

The regulator is a one way valve and therefore traps pressurized air between it and the firing valve. After depressurizing the tank, most rifles need to be dry fired several times to drain the small amount of trapped regulated pressure air. If ATI was planning for a 25 cal Nova, I might wait but The Gauntlet .25 is a ready to use package for about $270 delivered and already has 46 ftlbs. Getting that out of the 22 Nova will cost how much?

Great video Sir, thank you very much! Quick question about adjusting the regulator; if you just want to make a small adjustment to increase the pressure (1/8 - ¼ turn) is it best to de-gas it and remove the air tube? Or can you move the reg up without taking off the air tube? How do you do it?

[@AirVelocitySport]

You have to degas the air tube but you do not have to take the gun apart to turn the brass disc between the barrel and air tube. Just stick a paper clip and push the brass disc un either direction.

Air Velocity Sport, Excellent, thanks for the quick reply.

[@genemccafferty6967]

My Liberty in .177 will shoot a great five to ten shot group, then all of a sudden the group will move up or down and to the side by an inch or more. After another five to ten shots it will move again. I thought it must be the regulator sticking or creeping. I polished the outside edges of the Belleville washers and it seemed to help somewhat. I don't think it is the pellets because it can make some really tight groups before it moves. I have tried increasing and decreasing regulator pressure and adding and removing the hammer spring shims. I checked to make sure my barrel is tight. Has anyone had this problem?

Yes I have had the same problem at 100 yards Have not ran it across a chronograph yet but I did shit in the hammer spring about a 10th of an inch an increase the regulator about an eighth of a turn like Steve did in his video I’m lights out with my 22 from 50 to 75 but at 100 I start to get a little Squirrley also

What,s the name of the adapter you purchased to add the silencer. I didn't quite catch that name & where did you purchase the adapter from.

He said DonnyFL. They make Moderators for FX.

Hey bud if u could get back to me on a question ASAP I just drilled the barrel port on my nova liberty I went through the top and the drills slid down a little bit into the bottom of ID bird that did I disrupt the gun function by any chance?

[@AirVelocitySport]

I can not say for sure if there is a problem. Try to see if you can take a pic of the lead of the barrel up to the barrel port. If you see burrs or the rifling is damage it could be a proboem. If nothing looks bad then try and shoot some 50 yard groups. Also you can try to run a Q tip down the lead of the barrel just past the port to see if it getting caught up. But first remove any burrs form the port inside and out.

Hi there, I want to know your opinión about rti priest 2. I'm thinking about buying one. Ty a lot!

[@AirVelocitySport]

I do not have personal experience with the RTI Priest 2 but Im not a fan of the design. I like the FX Impact better.

[@Juanel1982]

What do you mean by drilling the barrel? The top hole or the hole where the pellet go?

[@AirVelocitySport]

Hey Juan, I think we texted on eBay a few minutes ago. If not I can go over that again.

Hello I over pumped my nova freedom, is there any way I can reset the automatic overpressure relief valve??? I don’t want to send it back or bring to a gunsmith if I can do it myself.

[@AirVelocitySport]

I do not have much expertise with the Nova Freedom but you can find all answers to your questions on GTA Gateway to Airguns. Its a great forum with alot of friendly and smart people who can help.

[@nacionalairguns5876]

Nice nice

[@danielsmith9578]

Does the 3/16 hole in the barrel not nick the pellet heads.

[@AirVelocitySport]

To avoid that remove burrs with dermel or 300/ 400 grit snad paper. Push a pellet down the barrel if you notice the head nicked then create a slight ramp on forward part of the barrel port with the dermel tool diamond bit.

I have a question Steve I just received mine yesterday and it leaks where do you think it's coming from I filled it with air and shot it a few times then I put it up and it was at 250 bar I went sleep I woke up check it it was 100 bar .. im bummed out I don't know what do

[@AirVelocitySport]

Hi chris sorry to that. One of mine leaked at the burst disc and the other two leaked at the poppets. I would recommend using thick soapy water with air in the tube on the barrel muzzel if it blows blubbles you know its the poppet. other wise try burst disc and around regulator block. hope that helps

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Ok thank you so much I'll try that ..its just the I'm new to pcp guns I've watch all your videos good job buddy again thank you

[@chrisfigueroa3361]

Its a very slow leak cuz I just got home from work and it moved like one little line

[@vansantsam]

Air trapped eh? lol.. Maybe you forgot to fire it after bleeding the tube..

[@jeffblahnik6414]

Thanks for all your help I got the inside where I drilled out the barrel port nice and smooth put it back together used my fill tank filled the gun to 2 bar while the pressures were settling and I was getting ready to mount the scope the gun started to leak where the barrel and shroud meet the regulator. I noticed the first spacer on the barrel had some play not sure if that’s right? I tightened the set screw back up I also noticed the first o ring before the first spacer had a little card in it when I took it out any ideas of why the gun is not holding air thanks again for all your HELP!

[@AirVelocitySport]

If you gun is leaking air is not going to be at the barrel or shroud even if it sounds like it is. It is most likely leaking from the regulator oring on the block or breech side. Remember you have to screw to regulator in the regulator block first then screw the regulator block with the regulator tighten down into the breech block to sink the white oring into the block. It does not have to be completely snugged up against the breech block. Just screw it in as much as possible then back it off the algin the regulator block with the breech block. Make sure you use silicone lub on the orings

[@jeffblahnik6414]

Air Velocity Sport thanks bud u know what I think it is after watching your video. After what your last comment was. I think I need to use the big washer and tighten up the regulator. I thought because I did not remove or from the block that did not have to been done. I thank that’s the trick! I bought some different o rings for over parts just in case. Can’t wait to go home an tinker I have worked in the tool and die field before so when u say a 1/10 of an inch do u know how many thousands that is ? For for example half an inch is of an inch .500 using your dial calipers taking about the shim for the hammer spring I went with 1/2 an 1/8 or an inch u think that is good hope that makes sense

[@AirVelocitySport]

Sorry I'm not what you are referring to when you are talking about the 1/10 the of an inch and that you went 1/2 it 1/8.

[@jeffblahnik6414]

Air Velocity Sport sorry bud what I meant bye that’s is I went to half of an 1/8 of an inch with the Shim is that a 1/10 ? How many thousands of an inch is a 10th of an inch I basically looked at a ruler and went half of an eighth

[@AirVelocitySport]

Half of an 1/8 is a 1/16 which is .0625 or rounded to 63 thousands of an inch (63/1000) basically, a 1/16 is just a .04" less than a 1/10

[@jeffblahnik6414]

Ok I will question does the rifling go all the way tho from end to end of the barrel

[@AirVelocitySport]

There is a step about 1 inch from the lead of the barrel but i believe there is a ramp up to the rifling. As long a the drill bit did not gauge and rip the barrel cuasing a sharp Burr then it should not be approved. If it did they I would use 400 grit sandpaper paper to smooth it out.

[@jeffblahnik6414]

Thanks nova brother from a another m mother lol I took a straw and ran through where I drilled on the opposite end just like if I was going to clean the barrel in place I don’t feel like catching on to anything there’s still a slight burger on top where the drill went through where it was supposed to say I just keep hitting that with a little bit of sandpaper or what is the trick of cleaning up the ID because the drill bit presses through from the top causing a Burger to push in word but that is going to happen just by drilling

[@Hunttip]

Do you know if the barrels are choked?

[@AirVelocitySport]

Not choked

[@ShayanQuanta]

i think this gun convert to a bullpup pcp is a easy task!

[@kobusvanrensburg4092]

Has anyone ever been able to receive that crappy plastic cover from the receiver?

[@jeffblahnik6414]

If I clean all the Burgers will it be all alright ?

[@jimomalley1518]

How far in did you drill the barrel ? W/ 3/16

[@AirVelocitySport]

All the way to the valve opening but avoid hitting the bottom of the valve opening. About 1.75 t 2 inches down

[@jimomalley1518]

@@AirVelocitySport Thx you Steve.

[@jimomalley1518]

just to be clear drill the end of the barrel 1.75 to 2 in but not past the little hole that sets over the Reg W a 3/16 drill bit sorry to be a pain if i saw you do it live would not ask thx again Steve .

[@AirVelocitySport]

No, the barrel port is just about 1/8th of inch thick. Be careful to protect the other side of the barrel.the barrel Port is a small little hole at the bottom do not drill inside the barrel you will destroy.the receiver gets drilled 3/16th" as well about 2in down to the valve but you must remove the valve before you send the drill down. You can see the same process in my kral puncher Jumbo video. I show in very great detail how to drill down the transfer port and the barrel port. The video is the Kral Puncher Jumbo 25 - review and final modification to 51 FPE. the concept is exactly the same

Thanks again for all your help and all you do ! After the changes the gun is working great not sure if I got too bad batches of pellets there H&N doesn’t do that but all the sudden at 100 yards she’s them Iike Those JSB 25s d io at 75 year first video. Barrel is clean I marked the regulator at 12 and turned it counterclockwise to 11 is that correct or do you think it’s a regulator issue thanks again bud
