HATSAN Sortie does not load the projectile

 

609/5000

Hi !

I got a used Sortie and it was in a very worn condition, it works with the hand pull, but it doesn’t fill the projectile with air, the charging bar doesn’t go back enough, the magazine can’t turn! He pulls up the hoe, it works again, only a projectile does not get into the pipe! Maybe your holes are worn out? I wrote HATSAN USA service, I got the answer, take it to HATSAN service, well, it's not in Hungary? Does anyone have any idea what to do ...... beyond throwing it in? Thank you for your reply - PPJL from Hungary
P.s .: I have taken it apart so many times that when you see the rifle, it starts to break apart on its own :)
 
This is how I got my Sorties to work.

1. Remove grease from gear box and lubricate with a gun oil.

2. Use a heavy pellet over 20 grains.

3. Turn muzzle cap counterclockwise 4 turns from full in.

4. Fill to no more than 2000 psi

5. Turn hammer spring clockwise until it stops then turn counterclockwise 6 turns.

Also search this web for more info on this problem.
 
I've polished every moving part on mine. Any wear point or friction point. The bolt, hammer, and gas ram. Polished the gear and the racks, too.

I use a sparing amount of silicone grease. Gun oil was not doing it for me, but is definitely way better than how it came packed with grease.
