Hey 95 owners, trigger bolt backing out on you?

[Old Corps]

Jeeze Glen, for what you paid for your 95 with that Hatsan super-duper tuning service, they ought to find you a brand new rifle SOMEWHERE and hand deliver it to you! Pretty poor service IMO. You'd think that they'd have an inventory on hand for situations like this. Not good at all........
Good luck!

yeah, I'm waiting to hear about a ball park time line and if it's unreasonable I'm going to suggest, strongly, they either get a new one from a dealer and do their Factory Bulletproof to it and ship it to me or refund me everything immediately. I want this to work, I'd like to own the Hatsan but if I do get a refund I'll probably be hanging out in the German forum.

My 95 had a failed gas ram. They have no replacement rams or guns to ship me at this time. Trying to get a ball park on when they might be getting more in. This is exactly why I don't buy lottery tickets. I'm not soured on the brand; I have a used Hatsan AT44 PCP on the way to me in a few days but I mean there ARE other ways around this.

At least you have heard from them but what a bummer. That has to be discouraging. Let us know how how the PCP works out. That used option kind of makes me Leary.

[GD Giles]

I don't want this thread to turn into a dealer/brand issue thread. There's another gate for that.   I'll continue to say that I hope I can end up with a 95 soon and be back on my road to AG enjoyment.

Totally understandable. I was leaning towards the German option to begin with but for the price difference and the special pricing going on at the time I thought I would try the Hatsan 95 first.

How's yours working out?

I don't get it.  Hopefully someone reading in will enlighten us how this can cause a rougher than usual shot cycle.  If it leaked and the gun was at least lube tuned, it should shot more docile, if over pressure it's not defective and they could just relieve some pressure.  Most hydrolic systems with a failure of some sort don't behave differently between "excitation cycles" - or at least this is the part that makes me suspect they didn't diagnose the situation correctly.  I mean yeah, a crack in the mount could cause vibration, but with the stresses involved you'd think failure would be quick, catastrophic, and the results would be felt in cocking too.

I'm clueless (as usual). 

So, AT44 PCB ... went to the dark side, eh?  Now you will have pumps and compressed air in your future 

I hope you get up and running and get hold of something that shoots true, I know what it's like to go a very long period without a good shooter --- good luck Glen!

You know, to have a failed ram the thing was still moving .22 CPHP's at 530fps. Even broken it could take out a squirrel; if you could hit it.

[GD Giles]

well, now they say they accidentally confused me and another customer and my gun is actually due for service tomorrow and could ship back to me tomorrow. So I don't know what the issue is I guess. I just hope it doesn't need the gas ram that's not in stock. But, over all, that's a much better outlook for me. I could have it back next week.

Maybe they monitor this forum? Hope so. I like my Hatsans a LOT (except for that darn back stock screw that won't stay tight) and I understand any product can be a lemon but they should take care of you if you get one. Hope you're shooting the 95 accurately SOON.

Working out good except for front guard trigger screw keeps working loose which is disappointing. Still have time to return for exchange since I filed complaint. Good shooter though and so far scope is holding up.

[GD Giles]

I'm watching this thread for the very same reason. I'm hoping they can address the screw issue while they've got it at Hatsan, but just in case...

OK, looks like the only ones confused were the folks doing inventory control at Hatsan.  Yeah, gotta say your issue looks like anything else BUT a ram issue (unless overpressurized).  I'm going to guess something's broke, maybe the bushing in the SAS, maybe a crack in the stock, piston, or seal, but I'm almost willing to bet it's going to be something visible when they tear it down for inspection.  Hopefully they will be up front with you on what is wrong and if their prior tune had anything to do with the problem.

Hope you get her back in good repair and it's accurate

They said it was a defective seal. I should have it back Monday.

Good news!

[Airgrabber]

Hello, I'm new to the forum but have been following this thread.  I am glad to hear you are getting your rifle back soon.  Your pellets are begging to be shot.

[Yogi]

You would think that checking/replacing the piston seal, and ALL other seals would be part of the "tune"!  If the gun were just off the rack, I could understand it.  When you buy a refurbished gun you have to think that somebody else bought it first and returned it for some reason.  Unless some tears the thing apart and checks everything, they are just recycling a defective gun.
Glen, your patience though out this whole ordeal should be commended.
I would have blown a seal a long time ago.

I think they actually replace all the seals and rings as a part of the service but if it was defective it failed weeks after they did the work. I had the gun 3 weeks before it failed. That can happen.

I don't want to give myself the kiss of death , but so I guess I have been lucky, my Edges have worked perfectly as have my two 95's and my 125.

Sometimes stuff happens, so far the only thing i don't like about Hatsan is they don't have a parts department for you to do your own repair, and they don't sell Vortex rams so you can have one as a backup !

I was talking to Jeff last night in chat and he said if your ram fails replace it with a Crosman nitro ram.
