Title: Hatsan BT65 SB Elite problem loading some pellets brand
Post by: Bassem on March 15, 2013, 04:24:14 PM
Hi All,

First I want to thank each and everyone for providing so much information.
This is my first post although I spend so much time reading. Anyway here is my problem.

I got my Hatsan BT65 SB Elite a few months ago and I am quite happy with it, except that some pellets won't load and when I push the bolt forward it get stuck. and there is no way to remove the magazine and the only way is to push the bolt forward and backward gently to load it.

I noticed that all pellets with striped skirt (like H&N Diabolo Sport, gamo Hunter, Diana, ...)  refuse to load, while pellets with smooth surface skirt (like Crossman Premier or Gamo long distance) works without any problem.

Anyone encountered a similar problem ? any advice is needed before I send it to the dealer. which I don't trust their ability to fix it.

Regards
Bassem

On my .22cal BT65 I changed the orings to a size 120 and that made it so much smoother! You may want to try that.

I have the .25 cal and found out after purchase that the Eujins 43g and the predator polymags wont fit, and its almost impossible to load a single pellet without the mag. Oh well.

Hi guys,

today I checked closely where the pellet loader goes into the barrel and I found a gap between the end of the barrel and the opening. and I looked at the exploded diagram of the gun, and it seems there is a missing O ring. I even noticed that when I shoot the gun, I feel air coming from around the magazine.
Anyway I took it to the dealer. I should get it back on monday.

Regards
