PCP Repairing a new Hatsan

[PasadenaMike]

So I have this rule where if I buy a new gun and it leaks or if there are any issues it goes right back but recently I broke my own rule and fixed a new Hatsan Jet 1. The air tube was leaking after a week so I just repaired it. The repair took two attempts because the o ring supplied from Hatsan feels harder than buna 70 and developed a leak again so I used a 70 and done. The gauge started leaking so I just snugged it real good. I’ve had a tape on the gauge for 1.5 days and it’s still in the same spot. Will I repair a new gun again? If it’s an Fx no way it better be good from the start. $180 Hatsan ? Sure

Hi don’t taken it apart. Before you do anything when and where did you purchase it? I ended up returning mine. I sent you a PM

That makes sense to me as well. It costs a bunch to ship guns back and forth for an O-ring leak or something small. However a new "high end" gun with issues might just be going back if there is significant trouble. An external leak on anything I would fix myself. Fixing a gun is time, and time is money but you'll learn something at least and get confidence to do more if ever needed on your collection. Shipping however is money and time! And you learn nothing. But sticking it to the man and getting problems documented with the oems is also good

I sent my Wildcat mk3 in 3 times to then FX USA . Same issue. Also learned a lesson where not to get a gun from because anyone else would’ve taken care of the issue. It had a reg issue.

I'm rolling the dice at the moment. .25 Jet 1 ordered from P/A. Should be here Wednesday. Some people have been real happy with theirs, so I might get lucky. We're nailing rats inside a storage shed @ 26 feet during night ops. I don't expect 1 hole groups at 50 yards with it. I already have a 13 C.I. Ninja tank, so I may do a conversion with the gun if it's a shooter. Fingers crossed.

If it isn’t a lemon it’s a perfect rat getter . Just slap a moderator it’s loud. A lot of people have had good luck. It’s leishy small but has multi shot capability

Reloading the Leshiy in the dark can get problematic. Especially when you can hear another rat running through the rafters. I have a .30 Ronin can that should work OK.

Lol reloading in the daytime when there’s game around is hard enough let alone in the dark. Id go with a Buck Rail .30 it’s much lighter than a DFL.

Order cancelled. I got worried I might come up snake eyes.

lol you have a notos? Actually for close up a 250mm leishy 2 in .22 or .177 might do the trick. Pricey yes but it just might be perfect

I had a PP750 before I bought the Leshiy. Never liked the trigger, and reaching for that recessed sidelever---in the dark--kinda sucked. It was reasonably accurate at 50 yards, though. Umarex should have had Snowpeak put a biathlon handle on the Notos.

The Leshiy came up for sale in the classifieds and I've always been happy with it. For the price of an L2, I'd rather have a Huben pistol.

With a stock need a silencer and the price is right. Terry now the little hamster in my head is going

Especially on the bikes so you don’t have a barrel sticking out in case you fall
