Hi All,
I have been watching ATI's website for the last few months trying to buy a Freedom in .22 caliber but they were sold out. I called ATI in mid November to find out when new rifles would be available but they had no idea when they would get more stock,(Stocked as of December 4, 2019) so I gambled and purchased two parts guns. I was successful in making one good rifle that holds air! after using the best o-rings and pressure gauge! I have read through so many forum topics and posts and I can not find answers to the problems I am having with the second Nova Freedom parts gun. I googled and duck duck go searched and have not found the answers! Before i repair it I want to upgrade as many parts as possible, Any suggestions?
1) Is there an aftermarket pressure gauges available with bigger print (old eyes) that works in these rifles? I seen one from PCPMart but I question the fitment, quality and print size.
2) I have a assembly diagram but i am not able to identity the part number for this broken tube or how to remove the broken part. Does it unscrew once the pin is removed? How does the pin come out? It is the outer most piston aluminum tube and it is torn into two pieces. it has two flat spots (for a wrench) in the middle of the tube. it unscrews on one side and the (broken) side seems to have a pin retainer?
3) This parts gun was built in 10/2017. Has there been any improvements in the production or the design of the gun or any of the parts?
