I saw something on the Pyramyd blog about a 40+ fpe .30 cal 135 tuned by John in PA. I want something like that. Anyone doing this kind of work or was that a one off project? Now that I got my R9 sorted out I want this ultimate magnum breakbarrel.
Tuning Hatsan 135 .30 cal tuners?

Rich is using custom pistons that he makes himself. Nice and knowledgeable guy. Richfromohio

Surely someone like this is on the forums. I have a feeling this might have to be a DIY. Everyone that tunes this kind of gun usually gives up some power for better shooting characteristics. I understand that a longer barrel helps a lot.

I like this monster springer as well, and I sure think a longer barrel would help a lot with accuracy.
But is there even a longer barrel available anywhere? I sure haven't been able to find one in Europe.

Click that link I posted to the blog. Rich Shar rebarreled his custom.
I am certain a longer sight radius helps with open sight accuracy. Make it easier to cock as well.

Heck Hatsan should make it a factory option with a nice 24” or so of barrel. These airgun people are listening, someone is going to innovate and see if it will sell. A matter of time I think.

I have a Hatson mod.130. What a pile driver. Hard gun to cock. Unfortunately I own several Weihrauch’s and it’s mechanism is not in the same league. I rarely shoot it. I just use it for stuff like elephant water buffalo and rhinoceros. Crow

A longer barrel would be great for some added leverage! Just sent mine in to hatsan, got a lemon unfortunately.

HI Bryan

We worked with these powerful magnums from day one when everyone else would not touch them, they said oh you cant get parts for them and they are junk.
excuses, excuses while sticking with the easy high end rifles that any one's mom can do. we knew these had great potential if some one was willing to pay for the cost.
we paid with years & countless days and long hours in the shop and now we succeeded, with new custom parts and even re barreling them we know what to look for on everything on the guns & we rebuild the gas rams.
Now they are smoother and full power and usually more fps.
On the buyers part most likely they will get one with something wrong with it that's been that way from day one with a hatsan but if someone wants a powerful magnum they can now get theirs over hulled gone thru from stem to stern fully worked & even re barreled. Yes it will cost of course but just look at the cost of PCP, here you have a grab & go powerful magnum at a fraction of what pcp would cost
the WORD is not out yet it has not caught on in the air gun community, so far many guns Ive re built went to non air gun members including the one I am currently doing a video on a hatsan QE 135 .22

I just received my hatsan .30 cal back from Rich. What a difference it made. Smooth shooting and less recoil. My airgun has a slightly larger bore. Rich still managed to get some fps out of it. He rebuilt the gas piston. He also custom makes them.
I may opt to get a barrel custom made from Mike one day. There is definitely more potential in this gun with the right size barrel.
Rich believes my barrel may be as big or bigger than .305 midway through the barrel. This results in loss of air and pressure around the pellet.
Rich is very professional and has lots of knowledge on hatsan. I would recommend him for any hatsan owner.
