Tuning Hatsan mod. 95 .22 cal. springer spring question

[Moe M.]

I have a fairly new Hatsan .22 cal. springer, I bought it at the end of last season and haven't shot it much, now that we're getting into Spring I intend to shoot it on a regular basis, I do remember that when I did shoot it the cocking force was pretty heavy, and the cocking action felt very gritty, I've read that some Hatsan air rifles come through from the factory pretty dry, and that lubing the main spring usually helps to smooth out the action and the firing cycle, in many articles Lube In A Tube was mentioned.

It was also mentioned that the spring could be accessed through the cocking slot in the stock, leading me to think that the gun didn't have to be disassembled to lube the spring, I have other air guns that I have worked on, but it appears that the Hatsan mod.95 is a bit more involved as to disassembly and reassembly, so, I'm not looking forward to attempting it and I would appreciate any advice from experienced mod. 95 owners.

Thanks, HM

Richfromohio here,thought someone might like to see what it looks like inside a hatsan 130s. This gun is new I have shot about 30 pellets through it? With 44.75 gr pellets it was around 570 fps and 50.15 gr were 550 fps. These numbers were after the dieseling stopped. I was surprised at the numbers for right out of the box. I have several air rifles and some pcp's. I really enjoy tinkering with my magnum springers because its such a challenge to tune them. Well here are the pictures and if you can please zoom in on them so you can see the problems I found.

I don't believe you can properly grease the spring through the cocking slot in the stock. Also you will need to inspect the spring to make sure it is not broken then clean and lube all the internal parts with a molly paste. You need to take the rifle apart to do this properly. Their should be some good u -tube videos out there on how to disassemble the Hatsan 95.

I just posted pictures of my 95qe in another thread you can look at (hatsan shooting right).. pretty sad assembly job .. but some tlc to that did good..

Forgot the linkage on one side looked like a rat chewed it not a machinist..lol

Anyway took it apart cleaned up hatsans mess and did a proper lube and its not bad and that scraping when cocking is gone / nicer and smooth now.
