MC Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 And remember it will actually fire that 3rd shell, unlike the hatstand that preceeded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katash Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 And remember it will actually fire that 3rd shell, unlike the hatstand that preceeded it. Dunno why everyone bashes the Hatsan, I went clay shooting last friday with a mate of mine that owns one and it cycled all 200+ shells flawlessly.

mickmep Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 enjoy it. mines probably about my favourite gun, shoots well, cycles fast, and have never had a jam with it. cleaning the gas bit is a bit tricky, i use carb/brake bleaner once in a while to clean the gunk inside it. there was a post where someone cleaned theirs with carb/brake cleaner so you can see some pics.

JonnyR Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 If it is as good as my Maxus.........happy days. Somebody told someone I might have known that if you put 65mm (2.5" in old money) in 'em you can get 3 up the spout plus 1 in the chamber. I of course would not dream of doing this as it is illegal and should be heavily frowned upon Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get 3 2" cartridges in most semis or pumps, that would make every one of them section 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisecobandit Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I love my sx2 and recently bought an a400 beretta aswell for wildfowling (3 1/2" chambers) I would of bought the sx3 but the stock was way to short.Unfortunatly the browning maxus had the same problem. Nice gun for anyone who fits it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisecobandit Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 And im 6.5" so you can see how it doesnt work for me lol. Weird the sx2 stock is quite a bit longer compared to the new sx3.The shorter stock is meant to "aid quicker handling" according to winchester,,,, for me it would aid "a bloody nose" i reckon. lol.
