I like this idea. Pump PCP with a lever and take multiple shots from a magazine.

Good price point too - but FAC power. Perhaps they coukd regulate it to sub 12?
SMK did it years ago, the B45-3.....
sure he stated 3 or 4 pumps per shot, no thanks. so it would still be at least 1 pump at 12 ftlb.

Looks an interesting application of concept but what about build quality, interesting if a reg was fitted
Custom BSA S10 .22 PAX Phoenix Mk 2 .22 Custom Titan Manitou .22 (JB BP) HW77 .22 FWB Sport Mk1 .22 Sharp Ace .22 Crossman 600 .22 Berretta 92 .20 Desert Eagle .177
From my limited googling (not a lot of info available) the B45-3 had to be pumped up between shots.
Company is based in Macau - so essentially Chinese.
I would not discount them just because they are Chinese. I'm old enough to remember when we said the same thing about Japanese cars and to a certain extent, it was valid, but they improved over the years.
Will it be as good as a £1000 gun? Possibly not, but it is an innovative design which was I was calling attention to.
It seems Ted of Teds Holdover fame will be doing a review of it soon.
Some specs from the .177. Sounds like it has a regulator of some sort - they just need to regulate it down to 700 fps or less.
The Nova Freedom features a fully patented high effiency gas chamber design that allows the user to fire up to 17 shots at 1000 fps or greater after only 40 pumps of the handle! The innovative lever action design allows you to fire from a rotary magazine quickly without stopping to repump. Chambered for .177 caliber pellets, the Nova Freedom has a 200CC pressure tank that allows the shooter a two stage velocity adjustment of 800 fps or 1000 fps. Each Nova Freedom has an automatic overpressure air release, a two stage adjustable trigger, a manually operated safety and comes with a detachable 10 shot rotary magazine.
