Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[Back_Roads]

Ended up scoping the Jet1 .25 , so far so goodish 

LOL... looks like something the Swiss Army Knife folks made. Where's the can opener?   

LOL I knew I was missing something, it needs a knife !

That is one scary looking air gun!  You won't need to shoot any pest with that one, one look at it and they'll have a heart attack!  You do need to add a 12" long Moderator to it so it will be sneaky quiet and extend the barrel to at least the end of the scope!

 I am having issues with any LDC I put on it puts POI out of any optics adjustable range, I think it is the interface with the 1/2 20 adapter and the plastic shroud.

The diameter of the barrel is smaller than the ID of the shroud. So the axis of the 1/2-20 adapter is above the axis of the barrel. They reduced the barrel diameter because the shroud would not clear the air cylinder, if the barrel OD was the same as the shroud ID.

[JPSAXNC]

The front of the barrel could be shimmed, maybe buy using a piece of heat shrink tubing, 3/8-1/2" long.

 I will look into it, noticed the Notos has some shroud flex also but no signs of lack of accuracy. I did get a DRT shot on a squirrel today with the .25 Bottle Jet, H&N Hunters

The trigger pull adjustment screw does two things. The hammer presses down on the sear to disengage, so the sear is still pressing on the hammer through it's travel. Turning in the trigger adjustment screw make for a lighter trigger pull, and the sear pressure on the hammer is lighter after it is released. So the hammer moves a little faster through it's travel.

 OK I did notice the adjustment screw, was hoping it lightened trigger pull, but also a faster  hammer, I will try this over the crony today. Thanks for the tips again 
 The Hatsan air stripper is working well on my setup, no POI issues with it.

The trigger screw is very tight, you will need a real Allen wench. Also the grip will have to be removed to access the screw. I have mine turned in to where the head of the screw is almost flush with the trigger.

 Thanks , yes I was able to get 1/4 turn then reset the hex wrench from the other side and go further flipping side to side with the short end of a quality hex wrench and did not get tempted to use the ball end after breaking it loose.
 Trigger is usable now, no change in velocity , may have lowered the ES some though.
Did some pellet test also 26gr. Poly Mags 489, GTO 16.5gr. 580, FTT 19.96 550, Gamo PBA Raptor 599. ES right at 5 fps with all 
 Shot some slugs 30 gr 450 fps, but did not see  consistent accuracy, will make up some BBT in .257 as I find that works in my Bull Boss.

What fittings did you use to attach the air tank?

[Back_Roads]

 Simple as swapping out the fill hose on the fill station with a male threaded foster female fitting, the Hatsan male end is oversized I took it out and sanded it to fit a standard foster, one could possibly find a brass foster China style that would be a match. IIR the threads are M10 1

I just got my adapter and Buck-Rail moderator yesterday. Same issue. I found that the air tube extends past the shroud just enough to drag on the knurled wheel. A fat little o-ring was enough clear it. Something more substantial would be better but that's what was handy and at least for now it definitely solved the problem.

Just bought a Jet2 .177 refurb. for $177and change.

Where did you buy it for that price?
Any link?

Never mind, I have just seen the sale at Field Supply.

[naptemp]

Even at about $150 for Jet 1 or $170 for Jet 2 I am not buying it.
It has a very bad shot string.

Hatsan did not put much thought into designing this.

I might buy a Hatsan Jet 1 and add a regulated air bottle to it.

The Jet 1 is probably the easiest bottle conversion out there. Just be aware of the weak valve stem if you decide to run it at a low regulator pressure.

So the cocking handle is polymer, they say. Wonder how close it might be to fitting the Notos?

Are you saying that the sidelever handle is polymer?
Gamo Arrow cocking handle is polymer too.

Thank you for telling us.
The Hatsan Jet is officially off my list now.

Why do airgun manufacturers use polymer in places subjected to stress ?
