The ring only burns in one place right next to the two holes the gases come out from, so i used to turn O ring slightly every time i cleaned the gun. I replaced the ring roughly every 250 shots.

I have had one for two years, although i dont use it much now because i bought a Browning Maxus. The Hatsan is a good gun.. for the money. The only problem i had is the "O" ring at the top of the piston perishes from the hot gases, and will snap and cause a jam... regularly.

Hi all.. have any of you temporarily imported your gun into the USA? I know its possible, but would like to hear of any first hand experiences. Thanks, Jsun.

Here's a picture of me on the prarie with my friends Volquartsen, and a prarie dog i shot at 167 yds. The muzzle brake is purely for cosmetic reasons. The muzzle blast tends to exit from the sides, rather than back towards you.

Yes, you're right.. there was maybe a slight hill that sound could bounce off, otherwise there was mile upon mile of open space on the prarie. I will try my gun at 100yds with, and without the mod as soon as i get time.

Snap.. thanks for a great reply. I think i will try my rifle without the moderator.

Sorry.. i pressed the wrong button!! I meant to ask, would the moderator slow a bullet enough to affect zero?

Hi everyone. Just wondering if anyone has used a .17HMR with, and without a sound moderator.. does it affect the zero? Is it much louder without? I used a friends Valquartsen on a prarie dog hunting trip in June this year. It did not have a mod, only a muzzle break, but it did not seem much louder than my HMR with a mod. Any replies appreciated. Thanks, Jsun.

Very good rifle... Where did you get your maintenance box?
