Title: Cost/Availability of New Hatsan Nitro Pistons
Post by: hooligan169 on April 07, 2013, 01:03:52 AM
ALCON,

Does anyone know when the new nitro piston Hatsan"s will be available- 100X Torpedo or Dominator?  Any idea of the price increase from the normal spring ones?

Thanks

I was told that complete rifles will be imported first & they will be in stock at Pyramid towards the end of summer (July or August)

From what I have heard, ALL Hatsan Break-Barrels (except for their cheapest models) & under-levers are going Gas Ram - No more springs !

(catalog link)

The little Vortex logos next to each gun in the catalog say "gas piston upgrade available" under them, which leads me to believe that they'll still be sold with springs as the standard version, with the gas ram only if you ask for it.  That also suggests to me that people with existing spring guns may be able to upgrade them to the Hatsan gas ram.

Interesting to note that the Hatsan gas ram apparently won't actually be "nitro" piston gas rams.  That catalog says that they'll be using regular old compressed air rather than nitrogen (and will be adjustable).  The Hatsan Vortex gas ram sounds like it may also be a bit more customer-repairable than the Crosman Nitro Piston or Gamo IGT.
