Hatsan Gas Seal

[Batters90]

Evening chaps, thought I’d share a top tip for other Hatsan owners out there, as it’ll happen to everyone at one point or another. 
 

I was cleaning mine today, and managed to pinch the o-ring seal and cut the damn thing right through. 
 

So I called the shop where I bought it to see if I could get another from them to save me having to wait and pay postage etc. On most sites they are around £5 plus p&p. When I got there he gave me one for free, and then sent me down to a local seals and bearings shop (City Seals and Bearings, for anyone in the Sheffield area) where I bought another ten of them at £0.37 each. So the gunsmith says, the seal going bad is the number one cause of returns that he sees, as they either get forgotten about or pinched during assembly - the gun will still sort of work without it, but it won’t cycle reliably. 
 

I thought I’d share this with you all to save some pennies - it’s easier to take the working seal with you for them to measure rather than guessing at it yourself.

The rest of us have been buying them from Ebay for our Remis and Hatsans for pennies for years.

Hello, I am not a Hatsan owner but I think many types of seals for semi auto and pump shotguns and PCP air rifles can be purchased from the likes of that Company in Sheffield , it's knowing the correct sizes ?, Good on that RFD, if you know the size I am sure many PW members would be pleased to know 👍

I hadn’t realised it was such common knowledge, when I looked online all I could see was the Hatsan/EB supplied ones.
