If you like leaving the magazine in the gun when the magazine block the probe just put one pellet in the magazine and discharge it in a safe direction. Now the gun is empty and the magazine won't get lost.
What measures for replacing theoretical gaskets or rings does the Hatsan Flas Qe 5.5 rifle have?... -Nowhere do they give that information, it would be good to know.
I bought one today from bass pro....was excited to get it home and going bought the .22 version with hand pump...gave it 3 pumps and it leaked profusely out the barrel and block. Called Hatsan and they said the first use needs to be with a high pressure system and Id have to either purchase one or take it to a scuba or paintball shop which don't have either in my area in order to get the seat to seal but theres no gurantee it would. Or i could pay for a new seat on a brand new item..... $400 paper weight. returned asap as you cant shoot it out of the box.
Actually, with a completely empty air cylinder you need to cock the gun first to get the hammer off the valve. The hammer spring is stronger than the spring inside the valve. Once there is air pressure the valve will hold air.
I've had one of these in 177 for nearly a year now and actually like it quite a lot. Admittedly I have fitted a regulator and fine tuned the valve spring to suit so am getting consistently good shots. I won't argue that it feels a bit cheap, but that's because it is cheap, however, it does do exactly what you expect it to do.
