I'm done with Hatsan. They have a ton of refurb guns for sale on their
website for a reason😆
Mine has their gas-piston, which died about ~6 months after receiving
it. It had to be shipped back to HatsanUSA for factory service at my
expense (~$40 July 2017). I haven't had it out in sometime and my guess
is the gas leaked out again and it won't work anyway🤷
I haven't searched lately but they wouldn't sell you a replacement
gas-piston at the time. Had to send your gun in for repair to get one.
There was a place in Australia at the time selling a gas-piston that
would fit. Suspect that shipping might make that kinda pricey and it
might not have worked right.
If I was still ambitious... I'd try making it into a bullpup with a
Franken stock of some sort. I've never yet seen a bullpup springer.
Maybe just aluminum framing for key handling areas. Might be able to
add a port to the gas ram for refilling too. I've heard rumor that some
rams already have a port on them.
It is accurate and has a decent trigger. Finish/metal working is rough.
