Hey Mike how about Patriotic Strat!

Hi Max,
 naw  i am into vintage 60  strats, I make my own order the necks for usa custom guitars or just grab a allparts brand one, finished already,  same with the strat body's I drill the bridge holes set everything up make  the vintage bone nut install a fender decal on them etc..
Has to be all vintage specs ,  7.25 radius , vintage  truss rod , this  probably is a 9.5 radius, has the trus rod access  at the top (( yuck))
my strats are what jimi would of played back in  his day.

I wonder if that's even true, jimi could handle 2 to3x  more then the normal person.

He was a wonderful, brilliant maul ti talented person.
 You know his manager Mike Jeffrey' s had him killed for the insurance  he had on him/ later Jefferey died in a plane crash. that.s on film all the correct info.
it wasn't enough he robed  jimi blind.

I met Noel Redding  and Mitch Mitchell in the 80's  after a all day show in New Jersey ,a friend of my friend  was playing with them  and we were aloud to hang out afterwards. gees  i was young then. I looked like Carlos Santana back then  gracious lol,   me,my X wife  all in our cool rock and roll dyed clothes
 yep jimi was taken for the big greedy abused ride/

Congratulations on the 125th. I considered getting that but ended up getting the 125 Sniper. As for a custom stock for the 125th I haven't a clue on where to find one. I know that AA sells a lot of custom stocks but I'm not sure if they sell any that would work with that particular gun. Worst case scenario you could try making one yourself. I know for me that would be d**n near impossible, but I have no wood working skills at all.  Anyway best of luck.

Thanks Max,

I thought about making my own..  Sounds like fun actually...  I saw a place that sells custom blanks pretty cheap..  Might try that if I can find the time..

Anyone get their gun yet from AA?  Should be interesting to compare notes here..

[Lambchops]

Congrats on your new Sniper, thats a real sharp looking gun and one heck of a shooter.  The crack you hear is from the pellet breaking the sound barrier it is not from the gun mechanism itself.

Good luck with it !!

No it's not. A .22 or .25 Hatsan 125 can't push pellets past the speed of sound.

I have this funny feeling my purchase for the 125 sniper in camo is coming to me  in the black stock, i better call American arms tomorrow.
 There emails our so plain it did not mention camo anywhere.
 there web site is confusing too,  they need to separate the items  further from each other, along with the prices  more clearly.
 Infact  I saw tonight the 125  sniper in camo  for Price: $259.95 (USD)  before shipping  while it still states above 225.00 limited time offer/  it did not say that when i bought mine
 I added  one  to the cart  to see what check out  would say, and it was 259.00 plus shipping  so hhmmm

Yeah I just ended up cancelling my order with them. I had been waiting since the 2nd of this month and when I ordered the site said the Hatsans would be in stock on the 10th. From there on the date just kept getting pushed back. I just decided to buy a Hatsan 125th .22 with a 4-16x40AO IR Centerpoint scope and high profile weaver mounts from AirGunDepot. All that jazz should get to my place either this Saturday or the upcoming Monday for sure. I'm stoked. 

[Mike 4888blues]

I'll call them tomorrow / i may do the same the 125th is cheaper too.
there site is confusing stupid lay out, the hatsan arms looks  the same i believe.

I thought the sniper looked cool and i was afraid if i got the 125th it would be little hard  to sell down the road, beings not everyone enjoys a thumb hole stock

Here i am thinking  they have it in stock  well i find out when i call lol

[DeathMetalMax]

Yeah the CEO of American Armscorp, Joao, Is a really cool guy he'd be willing to work with you Mike. From what he's told me Hatsan USA is just screwing up his orders, which wouldn't surprise me since they have, from what I've heard, just opened up for business here in the US.

[Tarheel]

The HATSAN 125TH in all it's GLORY ! ! !

This one appears to either have some type of Barrel Shroud or a different barrel . . .

gracious I called American arms  today spoke with ZONE"  at least it sounded like that.

I found out i bought the wrong item  the 125 in black..  it took him a while to find my order and I told him the listing  is to confusion  too close to another/  He said he will give me the 125 in camo in .22  for  the same price as the black one and fix my order/ so I got the 125 in camo .22  for 225.00  he he yessss.    

[Mike 4888blues]

 Apparently his orders are not in  yet ,so  I just figured aw  i can  wait no big deal
I could barley understand what he was saying.
Maybe hatsan in turkey sent relatives  to the usa and there American arms >? lol

Not mine, unfortunately . . . That belongs to a guy in Russia !

I like the clamp-on bipod for "looks", but have heard that break-barrels don't "like" bipods and accuracy suffers.

BTW - If anyone is interested in one of those bipods, they are made by GMG ( Model # GM-PBC )

That bi pod looks very well made,  i thought the one they tossed  in the box  was a cheapo lite  weight clip on plastic thingy lol.
 yeah  i herd that to Dave, beings  springers  are different it worth a try,  i bet its still good for just regular targets like cans
by the way a plastic coffee container  sound  better then a tin can  when you shoot  it, makes a nice  hard sound

[Mike 4888blues]

 Yeah and  when you finally get it  i am sure  it will be a nice surprise  aw I can see it now... I expect that thing to be big  and serious lol// a mans gun lol. urg  urg.. as Tim the tool man  would say..
