hatsan escort 3" semi auto 12g ????????????


Recommended Posts


I have had one for two years, although i dont use it much now because i bought a Browning Maxus. The Hatsan is a good gun.. for the money. The only problem i had is the "O" ring at the top of the piston perishes from the hot gases, and will snap and cause a jam... regularly.

Hi have one and to be honest, I am so impressed I would buy another just to have it!! Shot clays with it over Xmas, 50 clay cartridges and not even a sign of a jam. In fact, I've never had the gun jam. The "O" rings are 22mm x 2mm and can be purchased for 1p each, I get mine from a gas supplier for free. For 1p each, I simply change it every time I clean the gun not that it's needed.

 

The one I have is the Mk1 which people do say is far better than the Mk2, I can not say either way.

i bought my hatsan about 2 years ago now, i put about 200 rounds a month throught it and ive never had to replace the o-ring (im not sure if mines a mark 1 or 2).

 

the internal parts are starting to show signs of wear, i had to do a bit of fileing the other month to smooth off some burrs that had formed.

 

it will cycle anything from 21gr to 32 (thats the most ive put through it) with the occasional jam.

 

for the money i think its a great little gun.

another :thumbs: for the hatsan from me, never had to replace the "o" ring, and the gun is well over a year old, gets used on a regular basis, you can cover it in mud,rain,blood, anything in fact, it'll carry on reguardless, and then a quick wipe over at end of day, or the next :icon_redface:

I used to clean it after every outing, but now, after every 2 or 3 :icon_redface: notice no difference what so ever

great gun for the price,easy to strip down (just look on u tube) and no worries if you drop it

yes you can buy better, but then I suspect you'd be fannying around anytime it got mud,dirt,blood on it

HI ALL, I AM THINKING OF BUYING A HATSAN ESCORT 3" MAGNUM SEMI AUTO 12G IN REAL TREE CAMMO, WAHT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK OF THESE GUNS, ARE THEY ANY GOOD OR NOT , ARE THEY RELIABLE OR DO THEY JAM UP, LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT YOU SAY thanks AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Only problem i had is the spring clip shown, which was changed under warranty.

Mine is the exact same gun and i have had for approx 7 years.post-18453-0-26343200-1293832051_thumb.jpg

it has an awkward button you have to press to reload and deker had a brand new one explode on him.

 

if you can wait til you have saved a bit more i would get something better

 

 

 

Slight expansion of the facts ! Decker had a choke go [ not a rare thing on any make of multichoke ]

hi mate, all semi's will jam carts if theyre not kept "super clean". Ive got a webley 810 3 shot synthetic, brill gun wouldnt be without it but does jam if not cleaned regularly.

Word of warning.... i didnt realise how much of a pain in the arse they are to clean relative to an over and under.

 

Hope this helps.
