What comes around goes around. 28 years later… start of the build of my first born air rifle..

Maybe try contacting Hector and ask if he'll detail how he does them?? While I have the spring kits from both ARH and Vortek, I haven't dug into the .177 T01 yet.
It’s the nature of the design. That big scissor spring and the screws are wrong placed. I’ve changed springs adjusted to death. It’s acceptable for a can gun. It’s no Tuned T01 for sure.

Pcp compressor exploded

Not assuming anything, did you over fill your crankcase oil?
I ask because of the amount of burned oil I see. To much oil could be getting past your 1st stage rings. Your getting detonation, much like a diesel engine or a springer with to much lube ahead of the piston seal.
This is exactly what I assume after seeing the photos. It's less critical to slightly underfill rather than slightly overfill. In these small compressors it doesn't matter what brand you used if you overfill the crankcase. Just an ounce or two too much and it will and it will get fried in the compression area under high heat then diesel. Excess oil is the reason your compressor failed spectacularly. The brand was immaterial to the outcome.

Hatsan Barrage psi ?

I’ve been doing some reading, I get maybe 20 rounds before having to refill with air, I should be getting 80-100 shots so you maybe right but with this being my first pci gun i thought I may be doing something wrong, will call Hatsan tomorrow, thanks
Sounds like the hammer spring needs adjustment.
