Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[Dextrose]

I just bought a Jet 1 in .177 and can't find ANY accuracy. Iv'e used H&N field, Meisterkugln, and RWS  among about 8 others. Best about 1.5in at 15 yards. I have roughly 100 rounds down the barrel. Crown looks ok. Getting about 24 useful shots on a full tank. Anyone else have acccuracy issues with the .177 version? Sorry if this has been covered in an earlier post.

Check with a chronograph and see what it’s doing

My understanding is that the HS is inaccessible, so no adjusting anyway No?

No adjustment. Mine had a descending shot string which explained my vertical shot pattern mine was a .25. I’m saying had because I returned it because of the descending shot string. I had the single cylinder one , from what I hear the doubles are a bit better

 It would most likely shoot best with .177 16 gr pellets or try slugs, what I am shooting out of my .25 60 gr BBT slugs.

[Mr.P]

I’m surprised you’re shooting 60 grain BBT is out of this gun.  I don’t know all the specs on the jet but I assumed these smaller guns are better for smaller calibers and light projectiles. Well, you know what they say about making assumptions…

LOL... Rick mentions that... why have a QD and need an adapter to use it?

I am speaking of the moderator adapter.  The QD adapter is a bit clumsy, but it was included with the pistol.

It works.

Has anyone done any shooting the jet1 just as a pistol? I thought about getting one but if it's too much to shoot 1 or 2 hand I don't want to bother.

I have a Jet2 in .25 caliber and only shoot it as a pistol. I use a two hand hold though as I like to shoot at 6" x 6" square steel targets at 25 yards. The Jet 2 is a joy to shoot as a pistol! It's the lightest of anything out there that I know of and packs enough power for knocking over .22 rimfire NRA steel metallic silhouettes. I've never attached the butt stock.

I purchased my .25 caliber Jet2 back in late January, 2023. After having fired around 500 JSB 25 grain round nose pellets through it by April, 2023, I went to fire a shot and only heard a click. I believe the firing valve failed. I sent it back to Hatsan USA and they repaired it and sent it back to me. Around 600 shots later the same failure occurred. I'm in the process of sending it back to Hatsan USA again for the 2nd in warranty repair. I'm starting to believe the firing valve is under-designed....  I'm VERY good with working on my airguns of the past like my Dennis Quackenbush Bandit pistols. I've replaced seals in those. I'll keep sending it back to Hatsan USA for now because the repairs are under warranty, but I'd really love it if there was a video or written procedure for swapping out this valve so that I could start doing this myself when the warranty expires. Anyone here have this problem and know how to replace the firing valve? I imagine it would be the same procedure with the Jet1 or the Jet2?

 My jet is still trouble free, I have been using it fairly regularly and must be close to 500 slugs and pellets shot to date, I will shoot it more today and see if it breaks

I have since that post bought one and have been really enjoying shooting it in pistol forum. If you look back far enough you will see where I bought a case at harbor freight for it. It's a bit large but it works just fine to store everything just the way I want it.

I really thought I would try and shoot it for the pistol target match but beer cans have been it's primary target at a few yards. Such a fun super close range plinker.

There are now regulated Jet 1's and 2's for sale as well and even the Jet 3 (also regulated) has launched too.

After two failures, try to see if Hatsan is open for an exchange, a new Jet with regulator instead of a repair again

It's one of the few high power repeating PCP pistols on the market that really work well in actual pistol form! I love the shot capacity too! I get 30 shots with mine! The loud discharge isn't an issue for me where I live. Very accurate and always does it's part if I do mine. It's just a bummer that the air discharge valve seems to keep breaking in mine. Twice now I've had to send it back to Hatsan USA for repair. It went back today for the second repair...

I'm going to try to actually talk to the airgunsmith there. I want to get a feel for the exact failure mode and get his/her feedback.

 Only thing I can think of is shooting it below 100 psi may cause a hard hit on the poppet and cause a fracture.
 Shot mine today did a mag dump on a woodchuck trapped in a plastic 55 gal garbage barrel

I will take no pleasure in having company when it comes to a failed air discharge (firing) valve. lol

In fact, I'd rather this be isolated to just my Jet2 for some reason as I will put pressure on Hatsan USA to replace it with a new one if it fails a third time...

I have not fired anymore than 30 times off of a 3500 psi charge. It's still well into the green after 30 shots, but I haven't noted the ending pressure exactly.

The Jet has more than enough power for the woodchuck task.

 Sending 40 gr BBT HP slugs at 550 fps 
I am seconds from buying a Notos as I have the bottle adapter etc. at the ready, will be a head to head with my bottled Prod  Just watching the Azon day pricing.

My .25 after 15 maybe 20 shots I refill. The hammer set up on these is very crude. That is why you have a extreme bell curve.

I'd like to get the regulated upgrade parts for my Jet 1...
