Hatsun Flash

Jump to latest Follow Reply
As mine (.22) came from factory, the trigger was set only so-so. I did not mess with hammer or dwell. It shoots 2 magazines with little change of POI. The cocking effort smoothed out after a few hundred rounds. The gun has a bit of a ping when compared to my wood stock guns. The 14.3g CPHP are louder than the 25g pellets, suggestions that there is wasted air with light pellets. I have not chronographed it, just scoped and zeroed at 50 yards . Mine likes JSB 25g the best.

Get the QE, it makes a great difference.



Shoot'em good

I have a flash in 177. Great rifle. A few issues though. 1= doesn't feed certain pellets like wad cutters through magazine 2= the o ring that seals bolt probe to breach blows out sometimes 3= the bolt handle is attached with a 4x30 mm shcs,this broke off once 4=bolt began to lift out of battery with little or no effort due to wear of the receiver frame where the bolt fits down in the notch. I think 3+4 are due to rearward pressure of the bolt when fired. All in all this rifle is a keeper,you will like it.

I've had the Flash in .22 on loan for a couple of weeks now. IMO its an ok gun. I shot it first out 30 yards when I got the gun and it shot great. The trigger was not good but not bad either. I shot the gun over the chronograph and got some great numbers for the first mag but with gun shooting too fast, the velocity fell quick. The gun would start at a plateau for the first 12 shots but then would drop off quick. The gun didn't have the traditional bell curve and if you could slow it down, the Flash should shoot great with more shoots. I never tried to slow the gun's velocity down because I thought the wear on what keeps the bolt close was not worth going through the trouble of tuning the gun. Years ago, I had a disco that use to bounce the bolt handle up and down after every shoot and I used a hair tie to keep the bolt handle down. You could do the same thing with this if you want but the gun would look getto. For this reason of the bolt jumping out of the barrel and effecting accuracy, I wouldn't recommend this gun. If the gun costed 100.00, I would tune the gun down, tie the bolt handle down with a hair tie, and put up with the getto look because the gun shot pretty good.

Just got my Hatsun flashpup QE synthetic stock .22 cal. This gun is amazing. out the box it shot an average of 940 F.P.S on my Chrony. The power and velocity is awesome. The only grip I have is the cocking lever. This cocking lever is so hard to pull back to charge the gun. I cant believe it. It sometimes feel like its jammed, until I yank back on the lever with some force to get it to cock. Does any one else have this problem? Does it need to break in? Also the magazine gets stuck sometimes, so I lubed it with some silicone spray. Does anyone have any suggestions?
