tallpauljcb1 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 i have just bought a hatson escort and it is the best gun a own at the min a used to like my lanber over and under till i got the hatson in my hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game Shooter Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 i have attached an exploded view of the Hatsan Escort Magnum, all i can say is if someone rates this then they obviuosly haven't stripped it yet to throughly clean it, and if they have, they haven't stripped a well made gun! The Escort is made of cheap die cast metals and plastics, the biggest fault is the securing clip that keeps the rail attached to the chamber, it is prone to snapping, my mate who also has an escort only using 28g No4 in his (he's not a serious shooter) and has had no real problems, i however use mine for Duck and Goose so a bigger heavier cartridge is the order of the day, the cheap metals used in the Escort can not cope under pressure. I have had to replace the clip twice so far, and have probably not fired more than about 50 shots through it! Edgar Brothers will confirm all this! the orange arrows in the picture shows the weakest parts. tallpauljcb1 how can you compare the escort to the Lanber? the Lanber is far better made and if its the sporting or sporting delux it has a solid stock and is steel shot proof, so where you can't take your Escort on "proper" shoots you can take you Lanber and it will do exactly what your escort will do, only better! Maybe some people just want to feel like Rambo running around with a semi!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck. Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 The Escort is made of cheap die cast metals and plastics, the biggest fault is the securing clip that keeps the rail attached to the chamber, it is prone to snapping The only thing attaching my rail to the chamber is the bolt via the bolt lever What is supposed to snap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't find what you need then Edgar Brothers are the importer, drop them a line to find out the part number and your RFD will order for you through them.

Farmboy91 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'll stick my 2 pence in though... I was talking to a bloke the other night and when I mentioned I shoot an auto now he went and got out a battered MK1 in camo with 3.5" chambers. He said it had never missed a beat and will chuck out 21g cartridges all day long. I suppose these guns really are just luck of the draw, I know many get on with them and they certainly seem to have got better through other owners I've spoke to.
