PCP Paid for a Nova liberty and received a Nova freedom!! 🙄

[Murfdurf82]

Won a bid on a .177 Liberty And The Pictures show a liberty but got a freedom from Gunbrokers.com auction. It's too funny I own the Seneca Aspen in 22 and 25 cal. I Really wanted that liberty but alas I will contact the seller and see if they still have the liberty. Two pics are from the Web site and one is what I opened tonight lol. What the heck folks!!! Hahaha I got the entire family now but not on purpose. I'm not mad I'm just disappointed....

I really like gunbroker.com. I drop ridiculous low bids on guns that interest me and occasionally they hold up. $300 AirForce Condor, $800 RAW HM1000x etc.

Other than the rare occasion when a really beautiful older British wood stock rifle shows up. Then my bank account is under severe threat.

 

[Murfdurf82]

Haha, I have had good success on there so far. 1 Seneca Aspen 22 for 100$, hatsan blitz 30 for 350$, now the Nova freedom 177 for 130$. After testing the Nova Freedom all 3 are accurate and work well. Budget air gunning at its finest. I tested the Freedom today to 20 yards w crosman piranhas and It was accurate for light snow and 30 degrees w iron sights. I just couldn't wait.

Lol, I ran you up on the Blitz. Didn't really want it so I didnt push it.

I take that back, I was 3rd...

 

[Murfdurf82]

Haha it's a fun gun but I have no use other than home defense So far but it's a blast. Went out and shot it w friends and they want one. I wouldn't pay full or even black Friday price I think. It's been accurate and shoots well w cheap apolo domed 49 gr and vortex strike 48.6 pellets. I'm not sure about

 

[Murfdurf82]

...how long I'll keep it.

I've come to that with my semiauto. Fun but no real use. Was literally testing one earlier to see if it worked. Was bought as my parts gun but didnt end up needing it. Hatsan Bullmaster which is what the Blitz is based upon. Usual Hatsan issue of put on a moderator and the semiauto stops working.

Yea my Hatsan Invader 25 caliber semi auto quit working this time when I installed a moderator on it too. It's not backyard friendly without it so I don't shoot it at home much anymore.

Invaders are almost as bad as Sortie Tact when it comes to moderators. I have one too. My first .25.

The art with the Hatsans is getting the right return spring. By adding a moderator you increase the back pressure on the piston that drives the whole semiauto mechanism. I've never analyzed the mechanics involved but my guess is the mechanism is too fast and the magazine cannot index.

With the Barrage and Bullmaster you can add a regulator and between regulator pressure, return spring and hammer spring you can fine tune them to be quite reliable. Not a process that is quick...

The Invader has a tube so no regulator. So I tried polishing all the internal surfaces. This turned out to be a bad idea. My Invader is a bolt action regardless of moderator, return spring or hammer spring.

I get it out every few months and fiddle with it. Reconnect the mechanism and try whatever I have thought up recently but it has never worked more than randomly as a semiauto.

Mostly I am pretty sure it is the magazines are just too slow to index with increased speed of the mechanism.

I think I'm going to sell mine after five years as it's just too heavy to hunt with anyway. It never has given me a problem as long as I don't use the moderator. Need to thin out the herd anyway to make room for more!

Heavy, LOL, it is one of my lightest. But then I can turn most guns into boat anchors.

My new FX Dreamline Tactical 25 caliber weighs 6.5 lbs with scope so it's my go to pest control rifle now. If I put my Pard DS35-70 night vision it's about 7 lbs. I'm 64 with multiple injuries so everything seems heavy to me! Lol

Older and only semi-functional.
Big, fast, 36" vertical and completely average joints. Youthful exuberance haunts my dotage.
8 surgeries on the amazing collapsing foot.
Orthopedist has suggested strongly that the left knee and right hip be replaced.
Left wrist barely works

The folks at Tutts outdoor sent me an email stating that they are sending me the Liberty and to just keep the Nova Freedom. I sent an email back and as I was writing it I thought of an old neighbor who I think would enjoy it. He lives next to my old man and doesn't have a whole lot but has shot w me a few times. I think I'll try to surprise him with Freedom as it would make him smile and he's said how fun they are when he shot w me a few times. Pass on the Xmas spirit.

Great guns at a low budget price. Now that's what I'm talking about!
