Hatsan optima/escort semi auto tactical shotgun
- Thread starter tvismyjob
- Start date
I'm going to have to do this, mine was having quite a few issues with the low powered target rounds I was putting through it. More powerful shells were running fine. I wasn't too worried as I'd read it could happen and I'm confident I can get it running.
Thanks for the advice dieseldawg.
Make sure to let is know how it works for ya!!
+1 to Dieseldawg as well.
I got mine over the winter and have only fired it at the range.
Shot slugs great but jammed 30% of the time on target loads (fired maybe 20).
I took it apart and the O ring was in the wrong place and oiled up the piston tube.
Finally got back from proper outdoor shooting today and it ate everything after a break in (only had maybe 40 rounds through it before).
It jammed 2-3 target loads at first but after 50 she was running like a champ even with the very small aluminum base shells.

Wow I need to read what I post! Haha seriously I don't drink!!
What I meant to say was.
Dremel seems like it would take forever and would be hard to get consistent!
The sling swivel on the firearm looks like It could pull out with dental floss. Incredible.
The swivel on the butt stock seems, somewhat stronger.
Because of this I won't install a sling on it. Want to avoid the risk of a swivel failing at the worst time and the gun falling off my back.
The trigger is angled, ideal for a traditional grip. It should have been angled to match the ergonomic of the pistol grip.
I feel like I'm pulling down on the trigger, rather than back. You'll see what I mean if you grip the stock at the receiver like you would a regular rifle when pulling the trigger.
I'm happy with the rest gun. Good fit and finish. Seems are tight. Good looking gun.
Action is tight.

There is a lot of wrong info in this post
first off
the mag tubes putting on a +2 mag tube is fine as per our laws, aslong as the tube holds 5rds of 3 inch with is 5 rds of 2 3/4
870 mag tubes do not fit, you will get a gap and have to use a spacer this can cause the ammo to catch on the space also the barrel to be loose if not installed very tight againsr the spacer.
There are 2 off sets for the mag tubes, what we call short, and long threads.
Most of the hatsan guns have the long thread, which is a large unthreaded section before the threads.
Remington o rings do not work, factory o rings are crap, king armoury sells some, as have them in stock.
Hatsan is not a Lic copy of the fabarm.
HK had had both Benelli and fabarm mag shotguns for them In the past, Semi was the benelli M1 and m3 and the Pump was a fabarm.
bbb
Saw a vid that claimed the Hatsan (his any way) needed high brass to function reliably. Any truth to that?
Who is stocking these guns? Guns 'n Games has the pump. I'm thinking the semi-auto, but my wife is more familiar with the pump as she shoots a '97 in CAS.

Perhaps read throught the thread?
The way I read the regulations your fine with a mag tube that won't accept 6 of what ever the longest shell the gun is designed for.... in this case 3 Inch shells.
If you plug the extension at 5.9 3" shells 6 2 3/4" shells will fit legally.
BBB, do you guys stock the Kings Arms O-rings? It's hard to tell from your reply.
