Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[EdinGa]

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 ?

That's what i've read.

It's polymer, but fairly beefy and solid. Cocking effort isn't that difficult, so I'm not really worried about it breaking. It's attached to a metal linkage with a roll pin and there's no slop in the connection.

James has a couple thousand rds through his , perhaps he could attest to the durability or lack there of in the jet sidelever

I have't seen any reports on them failing with normal use. They look beefy enough.

I have well over 3000 pellets through my Jet, there's no wear on the lever or trigger pivot. In the instruction manuel it says to put a drop of silicone oil on the pivot points. I also put a drop on the top of the polymer bolt, I could see some scuffing on the side.

[naptemp]

In the case of Hatsan Jet, the pivot point (with the metal pin) is the weak point.

Anything subjected to significant stress should be made of metal (aluminum, steel, not the pot metal variety): sidelever handles, bolt handles, triggers, etc.
Parts made of polymer which are not subjected to stress: stocks, barrel bands, LDCs, etc

A few thousand pellets are not proof that it will not fail at 10000+ pellets.

Hatsan has 1 year warranty (at most) on all of their air guns.
The polymer parts will likely take longer than 1 year to fail.

I think if I were that worried about it being the weak link I would try to locate and order a spare before they no longer exist. A "plastic" spare couldn't be too expensive.

I'm not worried about mine. I have 50+ airguns so I doubt my Jet will ever see anything close to 10,000 rounds.

Will Sorties mags work in the Jet pistols?

[Texpatriate]

Will Sorties mags work in the Jet pistols?

Yes

Yes

Cool that will get me 14shot. I see mags aren’t cheap though.

Does the Hatsan Jet come with the silencer adapter included?
Otherwise the adapter is about $40.

For some strange reason i feel attracted to the Hatsan Jet and keep asking questions like those above

Adapters are included, Donny FL is an option if the OE one has issues

[Back_Roads]

 I got to messing with bottles and regulators and found a 3000 psi one I may try on my .25 Jet 1. I have it regulated right now at 1800 I feel a bit more pressure in the tube will give me a bit of a boost from the 500's I'm getting at 1800.

So, there is an adapter in the box, provided by Hatsan?

[EdinGa]

The adapter that's included in the box is actually a double male for their supplied female foster fitting. It will work as a silencer adapter but you'll have to drill it out if you have a .25 caliber. It should work fine for .177 or .22.

Yes there is a adapter from the gun to a 1/2x 20 bit for a mod. I think that many posts in the past I shared a pictures of the provided adapter. I did that because when some of us that bought this was in the first couple months did not get that adapter and Hatsan sent out adapters to those that did not get them and requested them. In this instance Hatsan provided excellent customer service.

I get your reluctance to buy a jet 1 or 2 but if you really temper your expectations like I have it will fit into some sort of fun to be had. I bought mine not for shot count or accuracy at distance. I bought mine to proactively work on some fundamentals of pistol shooting up to get this 5 yards. I am not really interested in long range pistol shooting.

I bought mine to practice the fundamentals of shooting a pistol. I understand that it is not the same as my XDS chambered in .45 will beat the eff out of me. I full well knew that in the .25 maybe accurate with 15 20 shots is gonna be meh. But at that range as any PB pistol that 3 inch pattern is all kill shots.

It is cheap and cheaply made but it is light holds well in the hand and for close quarters practice it is hard to beat in my opinion. I get a kick out of tossing a beer can at any distance up to 15 feet and with shaking hands hit it every time.

So I ask you Nap do you want a pistol, carbine or rifle? I ask that because the jet is nothing more than a pistol that comes with a stock.

You know the more you express what you want and the range you have the better we can help when you ask for it.

Thank you for the information.

Where is the female foster fitting you mentioned?

It was in the box with my Jet 1 when I opened it. There are lots of complaints from owners who had to swap to the supplied female because a standard foster wouldn't fit the Hatsan male. I guess Hatsan decided to start including the female because of these complaints. I can promise you that the male to male adapter that's in the box will not pass a .25 pellet if you decide to use it as a silencer adapter. I had to drill mine out.

 Strange as the ldc 1/2 20 adapter Hatsan sent with my Jet 1 in .25 works just fine. as far as caliber fitment anyway.
