    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    Hatsan actually works surprisingly nicely. I especially like the trigger. I shot a couple of dozen pellets (Predator Polymags) from 20 and 40 yards, and groups (five shot groups) were the size of a matchbox. Good enough for me. It's not too hard to cock for me (and I'm not a big guy). Pellets...

    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    Thank you everyone! I'm just gonna go shoot the gun and if it doesn't work properly I'll reconsider what to do with it. If it works ok I'll leave it as it is. Maybe the reddish brown rusty dusty clumpy gunk works just fine. :)

    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    I got an answer from my local official Hatsan repairer. He said all Hatsan springs look like that and it's normal. He couldn't tell me why they are all covered with reddish dust, but he said they are meant to be dry and without any lubrication. So is covering springs with brown dust something...

    First four numbers are 0120. Does this mean the gun is actually manufactured in January 2020?

    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    There is reddish substance on the piston seal (I looked in through the transfer port of the compression chamber) and there is also reddish oil on the cocking arm release button. So it may not be rusty, but all the lubricant on the main spring has turned to ”dust”?! I rubbed the main spring with...

    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    I looked into the barrel. It's not rusty and looks OK. Didn't clean it yet, but I will before shooting. Transfer port of the compression chamber is covered in thick oil. I guess I'll clean that too. Maybe my main concern is this: Is it normal that a new gun has a rusty main-spring and what...

    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    Yeah, not a gem, more like a rock. :) Is there any way to add some grease to the main-spring and the tube (temporarily) without taking the gun apart? Maybe some Moly spray through the hole where the spring is visible? Gun feels ”dry” and I feel like some lubricant is needed, but I don't feel...

    Tuning Help, rusty main spring on new Hatsan?

    Hello. I just bought Hatsan Torpedo 150 Sniper spring-piston airgun. Main spring is completely dry and it's brownish color (rusted lightly?) as shown in the picture. Is there any way this could be normal? Is it safe to use as it is? Should I return it to the retailer? Or should I fix it myself...
