Tuning Have a Hatsan 95 vortex that lost power.

Hi, thx, see that but it doesn't look like mine as you can see in my pic. This one has the relief inlet hole and access on the trigger end. Not sure how the one you referred to could work. Do you have a person or sight I can refer to. I did call Hatsan USA and left a message. .

The back end of the piston is set up that way because your Quattro trigger pack slides up inside the receiver and into that fork. Your end cap is shaped the same way and when you finally get to reassemble it, you'll have to make sure both are set facing the same way or the trigger pack will not slide back in there.

As far as rebuilding one?? Yes, it can be done, but it's a bit of a pain. That brass cap the piston shaft slides inside of has 2 o-rings inside it and one or both are shot. They're also a pain to get in and out but it can be done. Been there, done that and how I know it's a pain to do...lol. Now comes the slightly expensive part because you're gonna need a high pressure hand pump, the probe adapter, a Hatsan fill probe to refill that gas ram to the right pressure and those 2 o-rings. That stuff is gonna cost you an easy $60-$80 if you can get the hand pump on the cheap side. That or an air tank and that probe and fitting because that gas ram pumps up to 125 bar or about 1875 psi. I already had both owning a couple Hatsan PCP air rifles. From the experience, just cheaper and less hassle since you want your gas ram back to buy a new one and be done.

A new gas ram from Hatsan is about $45, should come already filled and would just drop in and you're done. If you're emailing them, use their General Inquiry form, NOT the Customer Parts form. Tell them you need the gas ram to fit a Hatsan Model 95 Vortex and how much will one cost. It usually takes a couple days before they reply, but when they do, they'll tell you if they have one, how much, how much shipping is and usually include it all as an invoice with a link to pay for it. I live in NY and any time I have, whatever I ordered is usually at my door in 4-5 days. While you're at it and have that rifle open anyway, include a new piston seal and replace it while you're at it. Here's the link to that General Inquiry formand also from experience, they seem to reply faster to those than they do anything else: https://hatsanairgunsusa.com/contact-us/

After it's replaced, store that rifle muzzle down. That ram has a bit of silicone in it to keep the seals lubed and storing it muzzle down keeps that silicone on them so they last longer.
 
You're very welcome. I've owned several Model 95's along with a few others and anything with a Quattro trigger and a Vortex gas ram has that same set up.

Easy way to know you installed the new one right is to look in the already pre drilled holes on the rear of the receiver. On the right side you should see the fill port for the gas ram. On the left side, you should see the bleed screw. If it's not lined up, just carefully slip a phillips head screw driver in there right side fill port hole and push carefully whichever way you need to until they do. 
 
Least their computers are considering the number of emails I get telling me about specials, sales and refurbs...lol.

A refurb might also be something to consider. For what they tend to charge, you can buy a whole, working rifle for less than what they charge for the separate pieces and have a whole rifle full of spare parts.

-Model 95 stock, $54.95

-Barrel, while it's been awhile since I asked is another $80

-Quattro trigger pack, $45 (no, they won't sell parts for the trigger separate) 

-Vortex gas ram, $45


 
The only problems I've ever had with my Hatsans were caused BY ME...lol. Still have the .25 caliber I bought as a first rifle getting back into shooting 6 1/2 years ago. It's now a spring piston rifle but again, that's MY FAULT for tinkering with the gas ram in mine. Fellow member on another forum was selling his fully tuned springer as a parts rifle, so I bought it and used his action with my barrel. Only difference I found between the spring and ram versions was a very minor fps difference, like less than 10 fps.

The gas rams are considered consumables like the piston or breech seal. They will wear out in time just from use and the seals inside that gas ram are no different. You can prolong it some by storing the rifle barrel down as explained above. 

Opinions will vary, but I've had very good luck with all the Hatsans and Turkish built Webleys I've owned, both spring and gas ram. The count is 23 or 24 now, still own a dozen of them and have no complaints. 
 
Anymore, with shortages and everyone looking for guns, pellets, parts and pieces, the prices have all jumped. There was a time the HatsanUSA refurb section had Model 95 refurbs for $99.99. Now like everyone else, they jacked prices. 

You might get lucky at places like Field Supply, Wing Supply, watch the Member Classifieds here or on GTA. Google something like Hatsan Model 95 for sale and see what comes up.

I've poked around a little but so far coming up blank. Might be something in Europe but finding one that ships to the US and doesn't charge more than the part is a nightmare.
