Thanks for the info. Those are pretty good write ups.I did contact Hatsan with the part numbers that I found on the diagram, same numbers you listed, and it only took about 3 hrs and I had an invoice for the parts. Paid it and got a confirmation email. Now, let’s see just how long it takes to get the parts in the mail.You wouldn’t happen to know how to get the end cap off of that big pickle, would you?Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
