fse10 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Well i have a Hatsan escort that i have had for just over two years only use it for shooting cormorants & wildfowling. I have put around 500 shots though it & it went wrong last December when i was up on the solway as a pin dropped from the bolt & bent upon firing which put an early end to my trip. I had this repaired by eagar brothers. Now today after shooting three mallards two birds with one shot & the 3rd with the next shot the part that rides up & down the mag tube snapped . I'm gonna take the gun back to the shop tomorrow would i be within my rights to ask for my money back from the shop/importers as this is the 2nd time a metal part of the gun has let go with so few shells fired. Your thoughts gent's & please not just that Hatsans are junk as i'm starting to think that myself now, will be going for a A400 next i think. ATB Fse10.

steve_b_wales Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 It has a 3 year warranty, so you could ask for a refund or replacement. My Escort Magnum FAC has had 1000's of cartridges put through it without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 If you do get stuck with a replacement offer get a hatstands slide action, for what you do it will be way more reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAsh Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 Repair or refund is normally only for first few months after that most likely only repair unless to badly broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fse10 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 The action bar bushing were the action bar clips in has snapped so the action will not attach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 I think that,after 6 months, the onus is on the owner to prove that the fault was present at point of sale or that the problem is due to a manufacturing fault-but the 3 year warranty should cover a fault such as this.

fenboy Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 What , they are amazing guns , never go wrong just keep them clean and feed them 70mm cartridges -----------------------so some say !

bakerboy Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 What , they are amazing guns , never go wrong just keep them clean and feed them 70mm cartridges -----------------------so some say ! Others such as myself say you get what you pay for I got what I paid for, in fact I have 3 and they do not let me down. As lots of us say keep the gun clean and it will not let you down (some will of course, but that is the same for all guns) My 20g Hatsan Junior cycles 24gs without problem. But his will no doubt add to the Marmite theory. Hatsan threads are always interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B25Modelman Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Whatever you do, DON'T mention the previous repair. If that was not carried out under warranty I doubt they will honour the recent fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
