I bent the barrel. Help !

Same thing happened to me. I shimmed the front scope mount to raise my point of impact. That took care of my problem. My barrel was not bent upwards too much. 

You can bend it back if you have a vice, stout door jamb, or other leverage point. You can make a jig using C-clamps and lumber and do a pretty good job of it as well.

Every barrel is "bent" a little. Either the bore is not entirely, perfectly true, or there is a bend at the mounting block or somewhere along the barrel. Usually it isn't very much but it is there. Whenever I mount a scope on a springer the first thing I do is optically center the barrel so that it is shooting as close to center on the scope as it will. I make a jig using hardwood and C-clamps and "adjust" by bending the barrel in the direction I want the shot to go. I usually bend near the mounting block which is attached to the barrel.

In your case, you have bent your barrel right at the mounting block. This is the point where the most leverage was exerted against the steel when the breech slammed shut. You can fix it. You can even find instructions on this site if you search around some.

Good luck and don't panic. It will shoot as good as or better than it ever did after you get the work done.

I bend my HW95 barrel on purpose so the point of impact matches the point of aim at 30 yards (within 1" or so) using an optically centered scope. Here is the "barrel tweaker I use made from a construction 2x4, a 5/8"x 8" long eyebolt, a 5/8" flat washer, 5/8" nut and a Delrin sleeve so the pressure of the eyebolt is spread out over a length of the barrel instead of concentrated on one point and the barrel finish isn't scratched...........



If your barrel bend were only excess "droop" then a tree fork like this can be used..........

However if your barrel needs "droop added" a "barrel tweaker" will work. LOL....here is a professional "barrel tweaker" used by a manufacturer so barrel bending (well, barrel straightening) is common........

Hatsan 125 QE .22 shoots 9.5" high. That's right out of the box. I thought it was the scope but changed it and the rings with the same result. What a bummer!!!
Too bad. This thing hits hard and groups good although 9.5" high. 
In the process of sending it back... if they ever get back to me.

Is this a common problem?

I shudda followed my first choice and picked a PCP. 

New subscriber here. I found this to be a very active and knowledgeable site. I have a lot to learn. Keep up the great work..... Now to find a new air rifle....... 

If you bent the barrel by letting the barrel slip when cocking, do you really feel that the manufacturer should provide "warranty work" for free? I'm pretty sure that Hatsan would know the barrel was "triggered off" when inspecting and it's a good thing that the wooden stock wasn't also damaged.

If your Hatsun has a barrel like this pic shows, it would be a good candidate for straightening using a home made "barrel tweaker" like the one mentioned earlier...........

Knowing that I can change the point of impact of my HW break barrels by 5" in only 18 yards and the bend is so slight that it can't be seen by the naked eye I do wonder if a satisfactory amount of droop could be added using a home rolled "barrel tweaker".
LOL....I learned this by mounting my scope in a RWS LockDown mount which has built in droop to compensate for the normal RWS droop which my HW95 doesn't have.

Anywhoo....seems that the barrel is bent where it joins the barrel pivot block due to the "sleeve on the end" so this would make it trickier to fix. Perhaps your best bet is to simply "bite the pellet" and buy a new barrel assembly because Hatsan isn't responsibel for the shooter "losing his grip"!

Ordered through Amazon... big mistake. I had to go to the seller. They sent me a RA label today to ship it back free. I thank them for that. 
The gun shot good groups but since it was so high the scope couldn't adjust enough negative elevation. 
I didn't think they bent so easily. Being a break barrel, that is just crazy.

I had bought a Benjiman Prowler just a month ago. Sold it because it was so loud. Good(not great) groups, hits hard as hell and seems to be well made. AND... no bent barrel! Course the plastic end that look like a silencer came right off. For plink'in away from the house... I'd get another.

Moving on to PCP and better luck... I hope.

" Well, I got this gun 6 months ago, so it is still under warranty. I don’t know why I will be charged. "

From the sound of it you slipped off the barrel while coking , opps, that is on YOU. Any product you break is not normally covered by warranty, buy hammer " abuse " it and no warranty.
Warranties are normally just for "defects in materials and workmanship" period. And it isnt the brand, pretty much any breakbarrel will suffer damage from a slam fire, heck there's several ways one could damage a Whiscombe . Just live and learn
