Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[Firewalker]

Didn't do to much better this morning got the spread to about 3/4" group. Pulled the barrel pushed some pellets through still had a tight spot. so cut off a 1/4" recrowned. Shooting much better with chps that's a plus.

It seems that the Jet .177 stock barrels are not good for accuracy.

I do not have the skills to cut and recrown barrels.
If I buy one and it gives me more than 1 inch groups at 20 yards (pretty low expectations), Hatsan will have their gun back under warranty as many times as it takes.

OK, I did it, I bought a Jet 1 from Midway and I am returning it in the morning.

It's a .177 and it failed on all levels.  4" groups at 10m, shoots 6" low. It must be a bad crown.

I also think the grips are too small, the cocking lever is all plastic and the magazines... UGH! Tail first, first pellet, REALLY?!?

Back to Midway...

40 yards with my .25 bottled Jet 1 and Air Arms 25.4s. I bought it to be a barn gun, but that's pretty decent for a 4x scope with a 2 moa dot in the center of the reticle.

 Bottling the Jet 1 is the best option, as long as the barrel is good.

What max reg pressure would you suggest running with .25 bottled?  I mainly ring steel but want to also be able to cleanly take small pests out to say 25 yards.

1800 psi gives me 16 fpe and 800 psi gives me 8 fpe. I'm planning to run mine at 800 psi most of the time because I want it for short range work.

 Snow day happened, so I tore into my Jet 1 .25 and replaced the failed poppet, small metal thing fell out of the gun, was part of the stem that had snapped. I am running a bottle but bypassing the regulator, will see what happens after supper.

Maybe in a configuration I'd think to be more interesting.

Well I can not get rid of the middle one, it really has my back lol

 I think I have a leak in my new bottle setup, uncoupled it and have the gun at 200 bar will see for sure,  electronic leak detector showed no gun leaks, will inspect and test the bottle next.

Yeah it would be hard for me not to cut all but the middle finger off of it, decorate it for Christmas and set in the front window.

  Will keep the decorating tips in mind    
Checked the Jet1 this am still at 200 bar, so it was my improvised bottle setup that had the leak, now to get it sighted back in and new crony numbers while I'm snowed in.

My .25 is making 16 fpe at 1800 psi. It should be pretty impressive with no regulation.

I'm up in the air if I want to go unregged, but it is an easy switch with the Foster quick connectors. I did fire a few shots when I had it at 200 bar and they did seem to be zooming along.

You guys must be hunters to feel the need for 16 fpe...    Whatcha plan on killin' with that thar little gun anyways?

I tried mine at 1800 psi just out of curiosity. I running it at 800 psi for 8 fpe normally. It's my close quarters gun.

LOL Ed... just mashin' yer taters.
