Gizza22196 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 got a hatsan escort yesterday and when i cleaned it after roosting last night and put it back together, when the forend is off the barrel just pulls out, i cant rember if it did this when i stripped it and i cant remember whether the ejection port was open or closed when i stripped it, but the barrel comes out regardless of the position of the firing pin block not, also cant remember if my old one did this forgot to add, it seems pretty secure when the forend is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 It will be fine mate, the forend cap will stop it form coming off as long as the barrel is all the way in it's ok. Did you slide the bolt half way back when you put the barrel on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you slide the bolt half way back when you put the barrel on? Semiautolee made a great video of stripping down and cleaning a Hatsan, well worth a look. I think it should be pinned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizza22196 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 made no difference when the bolt is back, it slides out about .75" and when it is forward it comes out completely. i just dont fancy the idea of the barrel being held in place by a piece of this plastic forend :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedd-wyn Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 ...and also make sure that the 'O' ring is put on before the barrel is put on! There's a lot of dodgy vids on YouTube where the individuals put the ring on after the barrel's installed. This will result in a lose forend, this had me banging my head against the wall for days Haven't seen Semiautolee's video, but Bakerboy seems to know what he's talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, which model is it? Mine is the mark 3, and wouldn't want to be giving you wrong advice on a gun I'm not familiar with. My RDF showed me the difference between the MK1 and the MK3 last week, inside it's a totally different setup. If in doubt mate, take it to your gun dealer for a stag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard.Hosgood Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Slide the bolt back before putting the barrel in firmly, then fit the fore-end (with all the slidey bits & ribber O rings underneath in the correct order) and do up the fore-end nut nice and tight, then ping the bolt forward, and nothing should move.

A very good vidio however .... When reinstalling trigger pins fit them in from the opposite side to the ejector port ..... Why well you see the tubes ( Carrier pins ) these pins run through have a slot and clip on the port end ....and if you do not line up correctly there is a good chance you will break off slot and clip if forced in from the port side.
