Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[Insanity]

Mike, I'm betting it does!  I reached out to Hatsan USA Customer Support earlier in the week asking about the adapters.  These showed up in the mail today!  Gotta love responsive manufacturers!

I also inquired about the adapter.  Hatsan replied "The Jet does not include such an adapter"

I can tell you that person may not know that it dose. Maybe get ahold of the same rep that Paul did?

 Still not sure if I like the Jet  I was hoping I would like the open sights as a pistol, they just do not cut it for me, I may steal the sights off my Vectis and see if I can see what I want to see, 
 I may have some from a ATI Liberty around to try also, otherwise I better scope it as a carbine, like I do to most of my pistols LOL 

[Insanity]

Ya I have to agree the sights are lacking in visual and usability for me. I am interested in how this DOT I got works. I was surprised to see it come in a hard plastic case with eggshell foam in it. That will probably get reproposed for other airgun stuffs.

Did you submit your request through their web based CS Firm?  That’s what I did and provided the S/N and purchase date for both my Jets. I submitted the form on Sunday, they responded on Monday and they were in the mail to me on Tuesday and they arrived yesterday.  I’d try again, you obviously got someone who is clueless!

I sent email to the address that they used to reply to my request for an EVP.  I will try  the web site contact form.  Thanks.

 And I found my happy place put the rear sights from a ATI Nova Liberty on the front rail, had to wind the windage all the way up, and set it with some Vibra-Tite, but I am dead on for the 5- 7 yards I plan to shoot this . 25 thumper.


 It just dawned on me  I can use a short riser mount

[PasadenaMike]

It’s a little guy. It just arrived today and it includes an adapter for a mod, I’m glad it came with one because the DFL one the knurled portion is too big to seat. I like it, it’s the same size as my Crosman Siloutte PCP pistol. Took 60 strokes from 0-250 on my Hatsan hand pump. Just put a Hawke 20mm red dot. It’s going to sit overnight to see if it’ll leak.

I used the web site contact form as you described and this is their answer:"As we mentioned in our previous email, the Jet does not include such an adapter. If you saw it come with an adapter from a third party advertisement, please contact that third party for additional information."

I doubt PA is including them voluntarily I think they come with them

[7624452]

I've looked at a lot of ads and saw nothing indicating the inclusion of the adapter.  One or two of the ads showed a fitted case included.

[Insanity]

I know Bakers didnt add one Paul got 2 with an email they are jerking your chain. If I didn't post a pic of it I will and you can send that off as proof. They are not providing you with good CS and that is BS.

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

I think I posted this before, but just in case, here's a picture of the 2 I received from HatsanUSA, sitting on top of the box they arrived in, with HatsanUSA's return address.  Not sure how they'll try to explain that away...  When I contacted them, they said they had a few left and would send them out the following day.  They may have run out and don't have any on hand at the moment, but if that's the case, why not just say so?  Even if they decided to sell them as an accessory, I'm sure they would be much cheaper than the DonnyFL and would fit better!

[Rocker1]

 What size are they Paul.  David

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

What size are they Paul.  David

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure both ends are ½-20UNF because it can be screwed on in either direction.  It's the same threads as the DonnyFL AA S510XS adapter, the only diference is the collar is hex on the Hatsan and barrel side is shorter.  The DonnyFL has a round knurled collar and both side are an equal length.  I can measure the length of each side and the hex size later when I get home.

[Insanity]

They are ½x20 David.

[PasadenaMike]

Wow that was a filthy barrel. It held air over night. Next is just try some pellets.

[Rocker1]

 I can do that fellows just a double half x20. And reasonable. David

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Okay, the short end is 7mm from the hex collar to the end of the adapter, the long end is 11mm and the hex collar is 14mm.

Why they made one end shorter than the other is beyond me, the DonnyFL is the same length on both ends, and regardless of which end of the Hatsan adapter you screw into the shroud, it will seat flush with the end of the shroud, so if both end were say, 10mm, it would work just fine!  Not sure you even need the collar, a 20mm piece with ½-20 UNF Threads on both ends would allow the LDC to tighten right up next to the shrub with no gap, and would shorten the whole gun by ¼" when the LDC is attached!

Maybe it was made for some other gun/purpose and it just happened to work for this as well. Something from the old parts bin.

The Donny FL one didn’t work for me the knurled portion is too wide to seat all the way down
