Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[avator]

Didn't say you did. Just been around long enough to see what direction these things go.

[Mr.P]

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

I chuckled

[Privateer]

I have tens of PCPs, just 5-6 bought last year.

Sell a few of those cheap PCP's and buy the Huben GK1 of you don't like the Jet (That you have never owned).
Problem solved.
See how easy that is compared to being the jackalope in this thread?

Cheap gun I expect cheap gun results.

[EdinGa]

I bought mine because I love to tinker and it was under $200 delivered. It's now my favorite little short range carbine just like I hoped it would be.

You know me. There's plenty of cheap Guns I have no interest in what so ever.
But unlike the chimera in this thread? I don't post whiney opinions in those Guns threads!
Here's a quick thought. How about posting something of use to GTA members to help?
NAH! That would require some talent and knowledge and not what YouBoob taught in a day or so.

My latest cheap Gun was a messed up Evanix RainStorm 1
$200 or so is what I paid. Had to find magazines for it and that was a chore!
It's under going a MASSIVE rebuild with chopping the barrel, new stock, and internal work based on a Master Smith's work.
So did I over pay for a not up to par Gun?
NO! I got exactly what I wanted! A cheap tinker Gun that I am having more fun working on then a Mint Evanix will give me.

I don't feel like I over paid either. I had some frustration, but I made a new friend in the community and ended up with a gun I love to shoot. I call that a win.

[Privateer]

I'd expect a "Well your's is an Evanix so that different from a Jet!"
 

I'd probably have to explain chopping, rethreading the end, and recrowning the barrel.
Then explaining the work on the valve body and why.
Not to mention fitting it into a stock that will be getting plastic welding done after cutting it down.
I have a thread at AGN about that.
Now that my hand is almost back to normal? I'll be getting back on that project.

[EdinGa]

I expect the Evanix has a little less plastic than the Jet. 

[Privateer]

Well, it will have an all plastic stock. Does that count?
 
It's also got some JB Weld in the valve body now.

A plastic stock and JB Weld is a good start as far as I'm concerned. Now you need some zip ties and duct tape.

Zip ties can make good plastic welding fill so you never know!

Yes they can. I've saved a couple of cracked plastic parts with them.

Shhh.. don't tell nobody but I just lowered my standards and ordered a Jet 2.
Yep,, I went slummin' 

[Insanity]

You dirty dog you.

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Shhh.. don't tell nobody but I just lowered my standards and ordered a Jet 2.

Jet 2 with aspirations of being a Jet 1?

And yes, there is that little perk... you enabler you.

You know what they say.... you lay with dogs, you get fleas.
