Hi all. I've just got a v1 hatsan semi at a very good price but it only has one choke. So anyone got a set for sale?

I bought this from a very nice fella and decide I wanted to (eventually) remove the mossy oak breakup as it is looking tatty, possibly cerakote it and add some tacticool gucci features because I'm a gear tart and even in the forces I'd always want the fanciest stuff. So far, I ordered the MPA escort stock from edgar brothers through my local shop. For those wondering it's £40 RRP which is what I got it for. You may get it for less or more depending on your shop. If you buy it, you also need the shorter stock bolt which was included in the price. Fitting was a pain because the stock, although it had good access through the 2 cartridge holder thingy hole, the bolt is long through the nut so you need a very deep 13mm socket. I ended up sticking my spare spacers in too as the butt pad on the MPA stock is much slimmer than the one provided with my mark one escort. Next is a 11mm dovetail to picatinny/weaver mount for the receiver and a holographic parallax free red dot to see how this works with my gun, because I think the clay/hunting community is extremely closed off to new things (semi autos for one) and i'd like to see more sighting systems on guns appearing in these settings. And before you say it, I know a bead or rib (or nothing at all) works just as well, but there must be some benefit to point shooting with a floating red dot. Even the yanks are jumping on this with their pistols - I think there must be some advantages. I've also ordered a side saddle 6 cartridge holder for the reciever which bolts through the holes where your normal drift pins sit for your trigger group. This was from knight armory in the US. Next I want the MPA cocking handle as it's way less sharp on my fingers than the normal escort 'comma' style and is knurled which looks nice. This is £10. I also will order the newer fluted end cap for just in front of the foregrip with the swivel attached. I already have a two point bungee sling. Anyway - picture (bear in mind colour is subject to change)

anyone got a choke key for the escort lying around they want to part with

I lost mine a couple of weeks ago, I remember having them in my gun slip that must have been open at some time and they have fallen out. Lost and now in a Magpie nest for all I know, I think my memory-foam mattress knows where they are but is not saying...I have no idea? They say that Everyone has a photographic memory; mine has just run out of film. Has anyone got a set of chokes & key that will fit the older Escort, Will pay via paypal or cash on collection.

Never thought the day would come and say I was a marmite convert. Several weeks ago I bought the latest version of the Hatsan escort, since cleaning it and using a suitable cartridge my scores have improved rapidly. I hardly shoot skeet any on a good day get 14 or 15 after a couple of rounds, today in the rain and bad weather shot 19 on the first attempt, would of been higher but made silly errors. Was impressed with the way it performed not even the hint of a jam and even been lazy with the cleaning just giving it a wipe down and a pull though with with a bore snake. Then I tried a demo Zoli was a shame to see such a expensive gun get a bit damp and got a score of 15, now thinking is it time to review how well my existing guns fit. Even shooting sporting clays I am hitting clays that I was missing before including the elusive rabbits. Better put my tin hat on now
