I happen to like my .22 Jet 2. It is fun to shoot, and has taken out many pests in my small yard. It serves it's purpose as an inexpensive, small, lightweight, short range pistol/carbine. It seems some people have very unrealistic expectations for a gun this size... If you want a gun with better shot string, more accurate at longer distances, then buy one that is designed for that. It's like buying a Prius and complaining about not winning any races...
The Notos has 4 small screws which are used to attach the stock (using a hex key).@nobody1
Normally I would defend the gun brand you are flogging but I had the Jet in my cart so many time but just couldn’t get over all the bad initial reviews.
It does look cool though. I’ll bet it can be tamed
Correction … the NP03 stock can be removed with a single hex not the Notos.
I know you have both.
Considering the guns I know you have I don’t think the Jet covers anything your Present line up doesn’t.Most people here, who appreciate the Jet, are calling it a "barn gun".
Good enough accuracy and power at very short range (less than 20 yards).
If I have no barn, should I still buy a Jet ?
I'll let you know once I receive mine, but I'll either tell you should buy one or buy mine.Most people here, who appreciate the Jet, are calling it a "barn gun".

It only takes a few minutes to disassemble a Jet 1 if you want to replace the hammer spring with a weaker one. That should help with the longevity of your valve stem too.i bought the jet-1 in .22 yesterday for using in my barns up close pesting with heavy pellets.
hopefully i can slow the fps down with heavies since you cant adjust the HST.
should arrive next friday/saturday......
How's that Arrow working out for ya?I have spent many hours researching the Hatsan Jet on various air gun websites, independent posts and Youtube videos (most of these are positive since these guys are either clueless or have something to sell).
In the past week, Midway USA had the Hatsan Jets on clearance (Jet 1 177/25 for $136 and Jet 2 177/22 for $178).
Those lowered prices triggered even more research, and still the same crappy shot strings and acceptable short range (15-25 yards) accuracy.
Every time I have an itch for a Hatsan Jet I seem to buy a different air gun, like my second Umarex Notos or a Gamo Arrow.
This is my conclusion
The shot string is really bad (2 consistent magazines at most), and the accuracy seems pretty bad (especially in .177) or if you shoot past 20 yards.
Many people will cut and recrown their barrels to improve their poor accuracy, still the limit is about 20-25 yards.
Overall performance is much worse than the Umarex Notos or even the 13-14 year old Benjamin Marauder pistol (my PROD with a BStaley mod would be vastly better than the Jet).
After all my research, the main thing I like about the Jet are its cool looks,.
But I will not buy anything (or marry anyone) based on looks
hey thanks for that info......where can i get a weaker spring ?It only takes a few minutes to disassemble a Jet 1 if you want to replace the hammer spring with a weaker one. That should help with the longevity of your valve stem too.
hey thanks for that info......where can i get a weaker spring ?
Your best bet would probably be to pull the stock spring and take it somewhere like Lowe's and compare it to what they have.hey thanks for that info......where can i get a weaker spring ?
That’s a good question. I just recently bought a second NP03.Why did Kral discontinue the NP-03 when it basically dominates this "segment"?
I have one in .25 and it's incredibly accurate with Polymags and I also like using the H&N Field Target pellets for 800+ fps. It does about 32 FPE.
It'll do closer to 50 if you want it too!Why did Kral discontinue the NP-03 when it basically dominates this "segment"?
