[Recondo2142]

go to the you tube channel, type in BROTHERS IN AIR and you are there. Google you tube channel look for airgun video's...it's not a very large family yet,but, Hatsan flashpup/FLASH owners will find very informative and helpful ...the o-ring video list all the O-RINGS by part number for purchase from THE O-RING STORE . that took time and effort.i say job ,well done..

 

[Queequeg]

Thanks will give a look.

Don't forget to help others,brother.I'm really liking my flashpup's have .22 & .25 cal's. My .25 is a HAMMER out to well past my shooting range..do most my shooting 35 yds or less...have taken a coyote at 55 yards with JSB'S 33.95 MK2 at avg 815 fps ,that's over a 10 shot magazine.he was standing still leg raised,brain shot.drt.I would say that was probably the MAXIMUM distance,closer range would be better...well hope you find the site .Michael,out

Hey Guys, I have a issue with one of my BT65 .25cal rifles. After a basic tuning, one of the two rifles now shoots low left. At first I thought it was the scope, so I changed it out with no change. Checked for damaged mounts, loose screws, leaks, and now I'm at a lose. Any Ideas?

 

[Queequeg]

I'm guessing that all you did was adjust the hammer spring? If so try putting it back near the default setting and see if it goes back to the original POI. If it doesn't you may have tweaked the barrel somehow putting the stock back on. And if it's grouping good at the new POI you can just sight it in there if the scope has enough adjustment.

 

[davhowrd]

Thanks for responding. I should have been a little more clear on all the details. Barrel swap, valve tune, hammer adjustment, scope swap, and new seals. Both barrels and scopes are performing exactly the same. I am currently at a loss. 

 

[Recondo2142]

Did you take the barrel out?when placed back make sure you see the 2 detents are lined up with the grub screw holes before you tighten the screws.you can leave the shroud off and do a sight shot group ( 3 shots ) ,it will be LOUD,wear ear plugs. check shot group.might have to reposition barrel slightly.replace shroud,tension barrel nut on shroud that stiffness the barrel some what.then resight scope

 

[davhowrd]

Thanks for replying. I lined up all marks on both barrels and got the same results. Still at a loss.

 

[Recondo2142]

Might try shimming the rear scope Mounting,i had to shim both my flashpup's..got up clicks back in my scope,hopefully you gain enough. you said hitting low,left.well do you get enough left/right movement with clicks? I don't have the bt65, my input may not help..see if shims might help.i used an old car TAG ,tin snips to cut to size..my 2$ worth...make sure to center the reticle clicks left to right and up and down. before you start making shot adjustments.you don't want to be bottomed out,in one direction or elevation... Michael,out

 

[davhowrd]

Thanks Michael,

The problem is a little more than a shim job. There is something that is missing or is out of place, and I need to figure it out. Currently I am at a complete loss

 

[Recondo2142]

Do you have a different scope? Might be scope reticle,broken.have had that happen to once.took along time to figure that one out.had a poi shift.could not lock a zero,and hold it.was the new scope..just a thought...Michael,out

 

[Recondo2142]

Please describe? Does it operate and fire normally?if you take it out of the stock and then shoot a 3× group ,is it a tight group?stock on stock off.you said barrel swap,how is the crown end of. Barrel?are barrels clean not clogged with shipping grease?just some more thoughts....Michael,out

 

[davhowrd]

It fires as normally. The new barrel was cleaned prior to installation. Both barrels are in great shape, new seal, and clean. I'm beginning to think that the new transport seals aren't holding.

 

[Gerry52]

Did you check condition of barrel o-rings (inside at breech end of barrel)? That caused me some poi problems when I first got my BT65. 

 

[Queequeg]

That's a good idea. My Flashpup started throwing flyers and while I was trying to figure it out I noticed some air was leaking back past the inner seal and replaced it and the gun was back to normal.

 

[davhowrd]

Hey Gerry52,

The stock breach seal has a tendency to leak with the power output of my rifles. I've installed slightly heavier seals in both rifles. You'll notice the difference on the first loading and shot. Thanks for the input.

Just want to throw in a second for Brothers in Air. Great channel, very informative, and he's done a ton of work on his FlashPup, explaining it all along the way.
