Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

LOL Ed... just mashin' yer taters.   

🤣


My .25 Bandit will hit 30 fpe with the factory spring. I'm keeping this one tame.

 I took a racoon at 25 yards with mine while squirrel hunting with it. in stock configuration. But keeping them tame makes for a good in the barn type pester.

Tin cans are the only thing I've killed yet, but it knocks them 15 or 20 feet at 8 fpe.

I'm not a hunter so I tend to detune my guns for accuracy and shot count within my shooting range. I think it's less beating and banging on the gun. I have guns designed to do the bigger jobs when that is the intention.
Anything that I might shoot, including fur, feather or belly crawler wouldn't take more than 10 fpe anyhow.
But I get it. It's almost human nature to seek bigger, stronger and faster.

ordered a kral np01 .177 barrel fingers crossed that TP lines up in the breech. also have 2 weaker valve springs coming should be here in a couple days.

Got the NP01 barrel tp ports didn't line up so going to have to drill a different spot. cold snap slowing progesss buuuuurrrrrrrr.

It does  not seem like the Jet is built well enough to be worth investing in it.
I would certainly not spend money on a barrel which is 30%-40% the price of a Jet.

I assume that you wanted more power.
For that, there are other options.

The Jet should be treated as a short range (up to 25 yards) plinker, if you get lucky and the barrel has no issues.

If I buy one it will be the Jet 1 in .177 and will add a regulated air bottle to it when I don't shoot it as a pistol.

[avator]

What would be the total cost of adding a regulated bottle to the Jet I ?

[EdinGa]

I already had the bottle for my Jet 1. I think it was
around $80 on sale when I bought it with the 800 psi regulator. I tried mine with another tank regulated at 1800 psi and it shot right at an inch at 40 yards with AA 25.4s.

I value accuracy more than power! What good is power if you can’t hit the side of a barn.

The Jet is a great gun for tinkering, straight out of the box it leaves something to be desired.

I agree. Anyone with a busted one should know that I gladly accept donations.

The Jet at MSRP is too expensive to be just for tinkering.
If you get it on a big sale and have the skills to tinker then maybe.

[avator]

There are those of us who put great value on tinkering. I get a ton of enjoyment out of it.

Obviously you have a 1377 or 1322 budget. Why even give your .02 dollar opinion to Guys that seem to like the Jet?

I have tens of PCPs, just 5-6 bought last year.
I have plenty of Crosman 13xx/22xx which are a pleasure to tinker with.

I have read a lot about the Jet.
It's just that the Jet is not worth the $250-$300 MSRP.
You may not have read much about the Jet is capable of out of the box.
You may have one, and were lucky enough to get a good one, but then you should play the lottery.

[avator]

They are everywhere for $200 or less.

Don't own one. Never will.
Just find it interesting how anally obsessed you are with a Gun you won't buy.
 

[avator]

Lets all play nice before it gets out of hand.   

[Privateer]

I didn't do nothing!
