Hatsan not cycling carts

[Ian willetts]

Hi all out yesterday with Hatsan semi around 3 years old had issues cycling 28g 7s give it a good clean still having problems checked gas ports some carbon deposits so give them a good clean tryed it yesterday cycled first few shots then shot shell was not coming out of chamber noticed the shells I took out had a small splice off the side near the nose of the shells any help will be much appreciated thanks

Are they short case 65mm cartridges ?

my mates hatsan won’t cycle those ! But others have no issues.

what other shells have you tried ?

[Ian willetts]

No they were 70mm hull super fast 7.5 27 g load I have tried 32g and they seem fine thanks agriv 8

some times you get bad shells that they rip the metal  i had some years ago keep jamming in an over & under i had turn them so the torn bit was not under the ejector so they could be removed have a look at the metal on the cart.  to see if there is any gap between the metal and case if there is that's the problem

if its running fine with 32g and having failure to eject using 27g  it sounds like theyve just not got enough poke to fully cycle the action. the escort is designed to run carts up to 3" magnum, light clay carts may be a bit anemic for it.  i found mine ran better and all my semi auto gas piston guns for that matter. when completley degreased and lubed up using graphite powder insed of oil.   is it a new gun or is this a new issue its developed?

Mate had 50 hull superfast  7.5 fibres  through his yesterday as most of em  zinged past my nose on the clay ground he doesn’t shoot owt else at clays !

superfast are punchy so should have no issue afaik in your hatsan so unless you are on a dodgy batch don’t recon it’s the shells

a photo of the broken shell may help.

where are you ? might be worth seeing if anyone local with experience could look it over ? 
 

Btw did it suffer from same problem before the strip down clean ?

Do these have o rings that go on the magazine tube? Is it missing? 

[Ian willetts]

No issues before cleaning and yes the o ring is in tackt and where it should be I will get a picture of the shell later after work it’s frustrating as the gun cycled the first 8 shells then started leaving the spent shell in the chamber I will give it ago with the graphite powder but I think I will put it in to be looked at thank you for all your reply’s I will let you know the out come thanks 

[Ian willetts]

Thanks for that chilly 1981 I will have a close inspection later today thanks 

[Jimbo yorks]

Replace the o ring mate and see if that does it.

Could just be the cartridges aswell, for some odd reason my old one hated gamebore mamoth it always stove piped them!

[Ian willetts]

Thanks lads I will try the o ring and give it a try at the weekend end 

[Ian willetts]

Tried new o ring still not cycling carts going to get it looked at thanks all for your reply’s 

[Ian willetts]

Will do chilly 1981 thanks

Only other thing I could think of is the ejector claw

 

[Ian willetts]

I think that might be the issue I think someone else had issues and they filed it down someone on pigeon watch I think I will have a look thanks ianspire

My SX3 struggled with some carts.if they don't have enough bang. You have been able to cycle carts with no issues so I would put it down to the cartridges. Either bad batch or just it enough bang. If it was a gun error surely no cart would cycle...

[Poor Shot]

I had issues on my escort with the barrel not seating 100% back into the action on reassembly. It caused all sorts of issues with cartridges not cycling but to the naked eye it looked correctly assembled. Found I have to reassemble the gun with the butt on the floor and put some weight on the barrels to force them back into the action while tightening the screw cap.
