Hatsan PCP fill probe

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Morning team,

As mentioned in a couple of posts my Hatsan 125 vortex piston lost its pressure with obvious seal failure. Been waiting on a new piston for 8 months with no word on arrival. I've done my research and there are a few that have refurbished their vortex piston and installed new seals then re pumped back up with a hand pump and fill probe. 

Young's wasn't keen on me refurbishing a piston and told me to wait for the new part. I'm keen to give it a go and have a hand pump but does anyone have a spare compatible fill probe I could borrow for a couple of weeks?

	I think Evan Minton has replaced the seals on one. He might be able to help. Or you could get one of these https://www.customairseals.com/product/gas-ram-hatsan-125-135-patriot-walther/

	Ok will see if I can get hold of him. I've asked custom air seals but their ram won't fit the vortex version but I could get one and modify to suit if I can.

	Minty has refurbished one before, only a few O rings and they are good to go.
