I just got the hatsan mod 130 qe tried sighting it in an pellets where all over the place. I noticed the front sight was rotating to the right. I tried to straighten it and the whole barrel or barrel shroud rotates freely an will not let me get sighted in. Is there a fix for this?

Not to be a smart Alec, but a scope is the obvious solution. Mine is good to 40 yds pretty easy, but a very loopy trajectory. Mine likes the JSB 50 gr pellets the best. That rifle is also hold sensitive, takes some practice to get on its good side.
A call/email to Hatsan might go a ways toward resolving the problem as well.

I seen the scope option I wanted to keep this one as open sights. I am fully aware of how to hold an shoot them i been doing it for 30years lol. I’ve just never had one where the shroud spins

I would say something is loose, I tried rotating mine yesterday it is four years old and would not move.

It is a 14mm, at least on mine I used a 14mm 12 pt. Long extension and put barrel block in vise, on the gun I would try and use a piece of leather and a crescent wrench on the block as I tightened the nut, it didn't want to budge easy, thread lock, corrosion and the nut is aluminum.

Thanks for the info i used every socket i had nothing fit ? I looked inside the shroud and seen what looks like a nut but maybe it was female ? So to speak

Thanks that’s helpful. However my nut does not have the raised nut part. No tools i have will bite it. I think the nut got twisted off in the past and was returned.

Not a problem, that sucks the nut is aluminum, it's hard to see it but does look like it has been rounded off.
