Hatsan 95 Adventure

[gloob]

Just an FYI, if you do the turret against rear ring, rear ring positive stop, I have had no issues with regular scope rings even on my gas rams. I mean, I don't see a good reason to use a 1 pc, unless your rifle doesn't have a scope stop or stop pin.

When you butt the turret against the rear ring on a 1 pc, it just looks weird.  And it won't work on compact scopes; the bell will touch the front ring, first.

I got the UTG offset one piece mount on and as you can see, my scope has a shoulder on both sides of the turret that is slightly tapered and this is butted up to the rear ring.  The space between the rings on this mount is 1.5” and the BSA Outlook 4x32 AO just fit, It centered on the dovetail perfectly once the clamp plate was flipped to the short side.  Probably the UTG extended dove to pic rail adapter and separate rings would have been better, but this was cheaper.

Any ideas why the recoil would try and engage the safety?

The safety is half engaging when firing, so after the shot the safety is half set and the trigger stays back.  When you cock it, load a pellet and close the barrel, the safety is set on, trigger resets and everything is normal.

After sighting the scope back in and shooting 50 pellets, I did a .3” 5 shot group at 10yrds and a .5” at 20yrds.  The rear stock screw is now loose, I will put 222 purple loctite on it and tighten it back down.  Not sure if a loose stock/receiver screw would mess with the safety, I wouldn’t think so.

The scope or mount has not moved at all, it’s had 80-90 pellets on the new setup!

 It could, as  IIR it is auto safety, and the linkage may find some interference if rear screw is loose. You may want to pull the action from the stock and inspect the linkage for rubbing etc., and while at it clean all oils off the stock screw holes and screws and apply preferably blue lock tite, or vibra tite.

I took the screw out, cleaned it and the screw hole.  I put blue on it and tightened back down.  I would say it was probably a turn loose. 

The safety and trigger are operating normally now.  So, yes that rear stock screw being loose was causing the issue.

The recoil of my .22 cal mod 95 will reset the safety like that.  Only does it when I shoot light pellets though. The action screws are all tight on mine so that’s not the problem. I think it’s related to how the Quattro trigger is adjusted.  I use that handy UTG cantilever mount on my mod 95 and my Striker.  It has held up well over a couple years of testing.

Has it caused any issues?  Mine started doing it again today, so action screws are not the cause, like you said.  I’m not worried as when re-cocked everything is set back to normal and the safety works.  I’ll shoot the h&n cuda 10.65 and see if it has any effect. 

[Blowpipe Sam]

It hasn’t been even a safety issue so far.  I treat the safety as more of a loaded chamber indicator so sometimes it confuses me when the safety resets.  I’m shooting 17-18gr pellets in the gun right now and it isn’t a problem.  If I shoot 14.3gr CPHP it will reset about half the time.  If the gun is pointed upward it will reset every time.  Obviously a recoil issue.  But where?

[Jay308]

Todays session using the H&N Cuda 10.65g, small folding camp table and front bag.  The safety reset went away after using my hand between the gun and bag.  That dropped shot happens sometimes and the recoil always sounds different when it does it.   

.5-.6” 5 shot groups @ 20yrds.

The Hatsan Mod95 manual safety should have a very firm and obvious CLICK when pushing it from safe to fire. You should be able to manually engage (pull) the safety and feel the same obvious CLICK. It may be more difficult to perform the latter action because the manual thumb safety slide is much easier to PUSH than PULL.

Are you are getting a good clean "CLICK" when using the manual safety slide?

If no then further investigation is needed. I always buy refurbished Mod95s so I've seen some odd assembly errors, damaged wishbone parts, and oversized inletting which can contribute to safety malfunctions. The assembly errors are easy to correct... just put the parts where they are supposed to go. The damaged wishbones are a mystery to me. Are the parts installed damaged from the factory or are they mangled by ham-handed previous owners? I'll probably never know.

A few light hammer blows on an anvil to re-flatten the wishbone parts with a little cleanup using some needle files and all my mangled Quattro wishbones look (nearly) prefect.

The stock inletting problems can be repaired with small hand-shaped piece of hardwood and a drop of glue.

Once all the trigger/safety parts are restored/repaired and assembled properly I don't have any Quattro trigger/safety issues.

FYI... high pressure trigger sear surfaces usually get a tiny (dipped toothpick) dab of moly paste and I like to use a light synthetic oil (similar to sewing machine oil) on most of remaining trigger parts. I use a dab of grease on the spring+ballbearing+thumbslide safety detent because the tacky grease tends to keep the little parts together during assembly. I have LOST at least one of the plastic factory ballbearings, spring launched to somewhere unknown during assembly. I substituted a similar sized steel ballbearing and cannot detect any difference in safety "feel".

If the safety click is solid and the recoil is still partially moving the safety, I am stumped.


I get occasional fliers from my oldest Mod95-22 (spring power with custom long/snug spring guide) when shooting CPHP pellets. Most CPHP pellets FIT that particular breech just snug. Those fly true, group well, and chronograph with consistent velocity. The "shot cycle" also feels normal to me, a single solid thump with no spring vibrations.

In every tin there are a few pellets that either fit VERY tight or loose in the breech. THOSE pellets will almost always spread the grouping and chronograph numbers. The loose ones also change the shot cycle a noticeable amount making it a harsh slammy thump. Shot cycle feels normal for the tight fit pellets but they still tend to be fliers.

Fliers are also due to "shooter error" (me) if my grip placement, grip force, cheekweld position/pressure, trigger motion, or FOLLOW THROUGH are anything but perfect. Seems fussy but most of my springers (many low cost brands & models) behave that way.

Dime groups at 20 yards seems like a "good" Mod95 (and shooter) to me :-)

The safety has a positive detent in and out with a good audible click each way.  Didn’t know you could manually do that!  Thanks for all the info, if it breaks and I open her up, I’ll put it to use. 

I can call my mistakes and these are gun related, probably is pellet tolerances, I just use them straight from the tin.  It does seem to shoot pretty good.  The 95 has me hooked, thinking about a PCP now.  I love shooting my precision rifles, but it’s nice to just go out in the yard and practice. 

[Jay308]

The 95 is still shooting good and the scope/mount has not moved.  600 pellets down the tube.  Out shot a buddies Gamo Swarm the other day, I wasn’t surprised but he was lol.

I ordered a AA TX200 in .177, so stoked and obviously hooked now!

I hope this thread helps new Hatsan owners.  For the money the 95 performs very good, $1 trigger screw, loctite on the rear stock screw and rear sight screw is all that needs done.
