Hatsan 135 hard to close barrel

[Malsonb]

My hatsan 135 .30 cal all of a sudden is hard to close. When I load a pellet and try to close: I have to use a lot of force to close It. seems more than usual. Any suggestion

Seems like the barrel pivot screw is to tight. If it was ok at first then something else is going on.

I have both the 135 Carnivore and the 130QE. Both barrels have always been hard closing. Is it still shooting true.

Did you get a chance to shoot your rifle?

Not yet. I work 12 hour shifts. Hoping to shot it tuesday. I'll let you know. Hows the 8mm shotgun going?

I've shot over a hundred rounds through it. I need to make some more sabots. I think I have them perfected. Let me know how your .30 shoots

figured it out! The thing that locks the barrel in place had some dirt on it. I cleaned it and put some balistol on it. Working great now. Thanks for all the help.Keep me posted on the 8mm.

Take care ans stay safe!
