Hatsan Jet I/II Discussion

[naptemp]

just finished mounting the new NPO-1 barrel.

What did you do to make the barrel fit?

Had to drill new TP. Cut a lip to line up the mag. Dropped barrel OD from 14mm to 12.50mm.

 Just watched Fowlers Airguns, seems he did a longer barrel swap on his Jet2 .25 also.

The reason for the new barrel was accuracy or power or what else ?

I cannot do any of those things, you must have a lathe and plenty of skills.

The Jet seems to be meant for skilled and perpetual tinkerers.

We who want to just shoot need to look elsewhere.

Then maybe that's exactly what you should do instead of continually hammering on this thread. You've clearly expressed your opinion about the gun. And by your own admission, the Jet 1 and 2 are probably not the guns for you. Many others in this thread have reported there successes with the gun. Your comments do nothing more than bring negativity to the thread.
Please move on.

I just bought a .177 Hatsan Jet 2 for about $160 after tax.
I guess I am not so negative anymore

I do not expect great shot strings.
I only want 1"-1.5" accuracy at 20 yards, enough to hit reactive targets.
If I cannot that accuracy I will have to send it back.

Yep, best way to do it. You should have no problem meeting those accuracy goals.

Welcome to the Jet Club!  At least now you can make informed, fact based complaints about it!     Both my Jet 1 in .22 and Jet 2 in .25 are accurate at 25 yards.  Neither is a powerhouse, but not bad.  Stretching it to 35 yards or beyond is a bit beyond their effective range.

There ya go. If you can't hit that goal at 20 Yards?
Throw the gun!
 
I've seen Matt do that group at about 20 yards and I don't think he's done anything to his.

 Keep in mind some of us can not leave something that works alone, we must fix it until it breaks

[avator]

Question...  Does the Jet 2 from PA come with the moderator adapter?
If not, where did y'all get them?

[avator]

I don't care about noise. I just want something out there so it don't look like a truck stopped in front of it. It kinda looks like Boss.   

[avator]

BTW... that picture of Boss is right after she took 10 hits in the face from a copperhead snake. Within 4 or 5 days she was back out there looking for another one.

That was standing one hand too you know shooting it like a pistol who needs that stock not me.

[Back_Roads]

 Most everyone that I have heard for the most part did get the adapter, some may have tossed theirs by accident
 I want to mess with how mine lines up as there is a bit of a gap , but may be able to tun it into a sort of barrel tensioner to boot.

I'd probably just fill the space with an oring or 2.

[naptemp]

Most of my short carbines are in .22 this is why I wanted a .177.

At first I wanted a Jet 1 so I can add a bottle.
But the Jet is small and light and a bottle would make it bigger and heavier.
And with a bottle you cannot shoot it as a pistol.

I might still buy a Jet 1 (if the price is low enough), since I have 2 regulated air bottles looking for an airgun

Get Miksatx to print you one of the little fatties like I have on mine. It looks good and works great.

I'll hit him up... meantime, got a pic?

[Insanity]

I have a small one I printed works well on my .25.
