Guys I m having a little trouble with my 95 vortex. Today out hunting I went to pull the trigger and nothing happened. The trigger would pull but the gun wouldn't go off. I broke the barrel down and went it hit the bottom of the cocking cycle it jumped back up in line with the gun as if it discharged. I m pretty sure it did discharge because when I broke the barrel again I had to go through the whole cocking cycle. I did get it to shoot but it is doing this every second of third shot.
The gun has the Quatro trigger. I m wondering if it is just set to light and the trigger isn't engaging. That's gonna be my first thing to check. Not sure where to go from there. Does anyone have any suggestions?

That sounds very unsafe. I would contact Hatsan's customer service right away on something like that.

It's been too long for me to recall, but I'm almost certain I've seen threads and maybe youtube video's on adjusting the Quatro triggers stating misadjustment can cause issues like what you are describing. Each time it fires under the conditions you describe risks hurting you or the gun --- my suggestion is "each according to his own gifts" --- in other words if you feel comfortable learning or working on them then I would start by looking up the information on adjusting them. If not, perhaps there is someone experienced in your neck of the woods who can look at it, or if under warranty contact Hatsan.
Wish I could be of more help, but I have not tried to adjust mine yet.

I've adjusted the trigger from video and from what's written. I'll tell you, it's so much easier to adjust correctly with the stock off. The basics of screw closest to barrel is the first stage and screw next to trigger is second stage but it's easier with the stock off as you can visually see the screws in contact and visually see the amount of contact of trigger blade and sear. I just did a final trigger modification/adjustment today. Love it now.
Here is a 3 part video series that's excellent and even starts with removal of stock.

The first screw (toward barrel) in reality is what pushes down the trigger blade making less sear contact. As you pull the trigger through first stage it rocks on that first screw then the screw close to trigger touches the blade and completes pushing down on blade the contact length of sear to release. So the first screw all in gives least second stage motion then the screw near trigger that will push the rest of contact distance hovers above the blade, that hover distance is the length of first stage pull.
It's as plain as mud in writing. And without seeing what is happening mechanically the videos showing someone turning the trigger screws are little help to me. With a small screw driver I pushed the sear back to contact with blade and would adjust and feel trigger to fire and then adjust more and push back the blade to fire again until it was how I wanted.

I have had the screws on adjustable triggers work their way out , just another screw for blue lock-tight :})

I have had the same sort of troubles trying to adjust the Quattro trigger a bit too light. Sensible trigger pressure adjustment sorted it all out and a little hot glue keeps the adjustment screws in place.
From what you described there is a cahnce that a snap discharge like that could bend the barrel. I have had it happen. It is not the end of the world.
Some careful rebending can have it straight in no time but you need to be careful and think out what you are going to do.

To push the sear back to recock the trigger, did you remove the trigger from the receiver? When I remove the stock, I loose all leverage on recocking. Thus I could only feel the trigger fire once before I had to reattach the stock. Glad you got your problem solved. Wish I could do the same....
