Hatsan mods

I started work on the full adapter for the ram this morning.


I decided to use alloy as i have lots of this to choose from. I am making it big.

First machine and drill the guide hole.





Next machine out so the shaft can fit through.





Next machine out for the main body to fit and machine o ring groves to seal the main body and shaft.






Next fit o rings and check compression to see if it will seal with the high air pressure im going to be pumping in.





Next fit the gas ram to see if all is good.




This is as far as i have got so far.

Stage one finished.

I will mill a flat peace into the top of the round adapter and drill the fill hole but i cant do that till tonight. so i will post some more later.

I have decided to full up the gas ram myself. I normally send them away to Auckland and they send them back at the pressure that i have asked for. But this can take a week or so to do and at $80.00 a pop it gets a little on the expensive side.


So i am going to build myself a pump and a adapter to fill the rams.

Yea good to see some life in the forum so Nunga can take some life outta possums.

Started on the barrel tonight. Stripped the gun down and took the barrel off ready to pull apart.




Next i took the muzzle brake off because it kept spinning on the barrel. I put the back end in the vise and got the vice grips on the muzzle end and un-screwed the barrel.





Next i measured everything up and started machine the new barrel to fit. one thing i noticed is the quality of the Hatsan workmanship is average at best and they have a lot of clearance on their parts and have put a lot of sh*t in to full up the gaps. I will make my new barrel to better standards and will be a better fit when done.










Finished the machining and cut the thread and it fits very nice now.

This is the finished product.




That will do for now as the walking dead is on and i need to watch that :)

Tomorrow i will work on the Ram and crank the pressure up a bit.

Just picked up my new .25 barrel today.  tomorrow i will be getting everything ready to replace the standard .177 barrel. I will also pump up the pressure in the ram to get the power up so this will be  my possum buster. I hope to get up and around 30fpe by the end of the week.

Watch this space!
