Title: Did anyone else notice the crazy deal Midway had on the Hatsan 1000s???
Post by: insanehognutt on January 23, 2015, 02:40:34 PM
They had 8 of them at $38 and some change this morning   :o
They are all gone now but I picked up a few for that price unless they cancel the order. Still haven't received an email saying they have shipped yet. They usually ship on the same day so I won't hold my breath!
They were the black synthetic stock .177 ones. I have been happy with my 125 in .25 so I bet these are pretty nice.
My jaw dropped when I saw the price!  ;D

Picked up a 1000s in .25 for 57$!!! Couldn't pass it up even though I have a 125 .25with Crosman Nitro Piston.  Cleaned the barrel with couple dry patches and first shot over the chrony was 920 ft per second with the 19 grain H&N domes.  Wow!  Then she settled down to just over the advertised 650+.  Trying to break it in and was slinging H&N 26 grain hollow points well over 600 ft per second.  Happy with that but the action is still very loud and spring vibration is nasty.  Seems a bit louder and fps fell under 540 fps today with the 26 grain hollows.  Hoping there is nothing wrong with the seal.  Had a .22 Edge that fell to low 600 fps and it didn't sound right.  Sent it back to AGD and got a replacement.  That gun now shoots CHP high 700 to 800 fps and is smoother.  Thinking the piston valve might be flawed.  But  I will continue to" break it in" and see if the action and speed change.  I know what these are hit or miss and need to learn how to work on springers.

My 125 in .25cal is a regular springer. How are you liking the nitro piston in yours? Have you checked your velocity numbers with the nitro piston?

Kevin, forget the numbers off hand but my 125 has chronied 27 to 31 foot pounds with a variety of pellets and the most coming from the 31 grain Barracudas.  There is no vibration but just a quick slam of the piston.  Very easy to cock. I don't find it real hold sensitive and very accurate.  Pyramyd Air put in the piston so maybe their "installing" was a tune job.  Pretty happy with it but it is big and cumbersome that is why I picked up the 1000s and the jury is still out on that.

Well I bought 4 and all 4 are in the clear with 0813 as the first 4 serial numbers so that is good!

0214, I'm not in the recall

And if they are recalling 2400 guns because of a single report of an incident,  is that typical?

good question, probably a design flaw that could cause a problem they found in testing that may only happen in certain circumstances
