Took the BT65 out and it was not acting right at all, Did manage to add some GS to the KIA list. The next day I took it to the range here at home, they were having the club shoot. Mike from Co. was there real nice guy.. Did plan on doing the 5 shot groups @ 50 yards but the BT was ill. Took it home and took it apart and this is what I found Picture below...Has anyone else had this problem?

Is that bolt broke? When I owned a BT65 nothing serious ever happened, the worst thing I had go wrong was the breach o-ring being blown out. Sorry to see it's sick.

Haven't seen that one, did it just work it's way out?

Bwalton · « **Reply #3 on:** March 08, 2015, 10:54:23 PM »

No it broke off I have no clue as of how. the rest of the bolt is still inside. emailed Hatsan may have to send it in....

That's a bummer having to send it in for repair. Maybe they will swap it out for the BT65 Elite in .30 cal...

Yep had it break on me about a year ago. I used an easy out screw extractor and had Hatsan send me another.

any idea what caused it? I could machine a stronger one, did you loose accuracy when it broke?

Whatsquirrel · « **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2015, 02:02:09 PM »

In my at44 long qe, that was broken out of the box. When I contacted hatsan they wanted me to send the whole gun back, I just made another & left it alone.

When I looked at that part it seems weak....that holds the brass part for the air tube and the stock mounts to it also.

Bwalton · « **Reply #10 on:** March 09, 2015, 02:13:25 PM »

I just thought about something I have an extra parts gun, going to dill it out and use the part from the other gun

I am also going to machine one out at work which will be a whole lot better.

Lol in that case I'm going to dig them up and shoot them again lol

the1stkim · « **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:25:57 AM »

Yeah before I figured it out my groups went to *(&^. Not sure if it was overtightened or if I had bumped the stock too hard or what.

pllagunos · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:37:07 AM »

Happened to my on my AT44 however it was my fault, I tried to tighten the screw and accidentally broke the head, I removed the screw from the gun and ordered another one, however I kept shooting without the screw when I was waiting for it and accuracy was the same, I even made my best group at .03" CTC at 25 yards.

Haven't had any problem with the new screw since then.

UCChris · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2015, 12:48:11 AM »

Interested to see how this works out Baxter.

My accuracy was horrible when it broke, I do not know when it broke. But I did know that my accuracy was not right, I thought that it was the scope then the LDC, then checked the shot string. After all that then took it apart. I have another part here so im taking it to work tomorrow and drilling it out and putting the new one in.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but thought some might be interested that B.B. is doing a review of the BT65 QE .25 cal on the Pyramidair blog.

We've got to take down MORE this season than we did last season...
