Hassan 99.

[Novagun]

I have had this rifle for many years. I think it is the same as the 95 but with a barrel lock. The rifle has the SAS system that just does not work. It has the Quattro trigger that is pretty good but still falls apart when I dismantle the rifle.When I bought it the Gun was a real crasher on discharge. Harsh for a .177. I decided to modify it   I cut 75 mms off the barrel, and put a Delrin muzzle brake on it,shortened the spring and lightened the piston  I can't remember how much weight I took off it but it was a fair bit.  So much that the head of the piston started to crush. I got a new piston and didn't take so much steel out of it. But still a fair bit . The rifle was just OK.
I lost interest in it and moved on. About three weeks ago I put it over the chrony  11 ft/lbs.
I found a spring in the treasure box that fitted and put that in .
It now shoots at 18 ft/lbs but is harder to cock   I also tried some Field pellets that I had labeled as rubbish and it shoots them very well .
Ii just took me a few years to realize the potential of this nice gun.
Woops Hatsan. I don't think I can fix that part.
