I'm interested in the warranty Charles daily there is non and they used to be great now no reply hopefully I'll have better luck with my hatsan escort I love the gun hopefully the warranty will be good 5ry warranty but the warranty is as good as the company that stands behind it I'll see and be a mouthpiece for them good or bad
Hatsan makes an impressive range of semi auto shotguns, especially those with a detachable magazine in bullpup configuration. I paid like $US190.00 ( 150 pounds )for an 18.5” 4+1 basic defensive model. I shoot exclusively buckshot out of it and it doesn’t miss a beat.
I have the tactical version of that gun. I was shocked at how well the fit and finish was when I opened the box. The Turks are pioneering cost effective, quality products.
Love mine - picked one up last year for £150 that was like brand new, came with all the stuff bar the original box. Used it on the clays, cycles 21g's no problem and out in the field with the bigger loads. Only thing I did was put a fibre optic sight on. Brilliant gun, shoots lovely. Just keep it clean.
Nice video. Turkish manufacturers are making some excellent shotguns in a wide variety of formats. All are surperb value for money and enable people to enter the sports shooting market at a reasonable price.
Just recently purchased this gun as a means for hunting birds and home defense. I have to say i just shot my first 5 slugs through it and it is more than smooth. For 280$ this thing is an absolute must have budget gun.
I got the 7+1 on my FAC in 2012 and it's still going strong. They had a problem with a part of the action bar breaking off, mine did it twice but the second time they swapped it out for one made of different material, I'm no metallurgist but it was different stuff :)
Not sure if there are variances, but I bought mine in the US and it has a bolt catch. It also does not have protruding chokes, I have to use a tool. Awesome gun though, well worth the buy.
Perhaps a different model? A bolt catch would be a handy feature, I'm not keen on the loading gate ssrving as the bolt release but yeh other than that a great gun
i have this gun and love shooting it but my cocking handle fell out and could find it. a gunsmith made me one but it doesn't stay in either. I would like to order a new one, and would like one that doesn't fall out. any help out there?
had mine for 2 years used it yesterday for the first tiome ever , 30+ feed stoppages over 100 rounds , took it apart to clean it the end of the barrel that slides in to the reciever above the breach was minced , had to take a stone to it , that has to be from factory , feed problems may have been from a lack of oil but even dry it should cope with 100 rounds over the space of 4 hours ?
It runs well any 20 guage shell works hows the warranty and the helpfull company ill find out tomorrow i bought it for clay shooting see when you grow up you realise you dont want to be kicked at all there is no recoill and all the fitting packett is well done my charles daily is great but no service wont return any calls even wrote letters had to make my own parts what used to be the best now is usless if you sell a product without service and parts its usless but why there still making them ho knows
That's actually 5+1, it just has a plug which you can easily remove if your laws allow it. It's just a little plastic rod, pull the magazine tube cap off and pull the plastic rod out.
Not here in the UK. This is a 2 + 1 as the magtube is physically crimped (the tube itself is crushed slightly part way along it) so that it is too narrow to accept more than 2 rounds. I had a Huglu that had a 7 shot tube on it but I still called it a 2 + 1 because to get 7 in it again you would need to replace the magtube. So this is a 2 + 1 unless you replace the magtube, which you wouldn't be able to buy without the proper licence.
@@UKGuns I was wondering as I saw another UK video where shooter fired off 7 or 8 shots. Canada a centerfire semi auto is limited to 5 rounds for a long gun and 10 for a pistol. There are a few loopholes such as lar15 stanag pistol mags, but seeing as lar15 is now prohibited I don't know if the magazine's will be as well. I have a non ar rifle which takes ar mags, not sure if I'm going to have to rivet them or what.
@@juliogonzo2718 here the only time you will find capacity limit is section 2 shotguns which are max 3 rounds (2+1). For section 1 firearms (which include shotguns with larger capacity) there are no limits.
What aftermarket chokes will fit this? I bought one here in the US for little to nothing cost and came with a truglo gobble stopper turkey choke but the model numbers on the choke are for a remington but no other remington choke fits in just looking for some assistance thank you.
@UKGuns 4 years ago Yes I only use 28g for clays and never skipped a beat. Even used the 26g Light Speeds with no issues (but only shot about 50 cartridges)
@@ismailsuliman361 these do not fire "bullets" they fire shot. Which comes in lots of different shapes and sizes. It would also depend on the length of barrel and a lot of other factors. There is no single answer to that
Yes I meant shot. Can you make a video about what is the difference between semi automatic gun with magazine and this one in terms of hunting / defence In other word, does the short barrel semi automatic gun can be suitable for hunting birds or other animals as long barrel do or it is more likely for defence purposes
I got this but in camo.. the gun tag at the store i bought it says its chambered up to 3-1/2” shells. But i dont think so idk.. maybe it is. But anyways u ever had the flames of shooting the shell come out from the ejector/bolt.,,, i know it usaully comes out from the end of barrel. But yesterday i shot it fast as i can in the 3rd shot the flames/explosion came out from the bolt/ejector
This gun is a 3" chamber. Its the "Double Magnum" version that can fire 3" 1/2 shells I believe. Yes have had the lick of flame out of the ejection port many times, I believe it is just due to a build up of unburnt powder that burns off after a shot is fired (and the gun is hot already)
@@riverrivers250 I personally clean it after every use as it is gas operated meaning a lot of carbon goes back into the action and the 12 gauge is a very dirty round I find there is fairly significant carbon build up so mine gets cleaned every time I use it.
The Escort Magnum comes in 24" to 30" barrels. I'm not sure what you mean by my reccomendation for autos? Do you mean semi autos? I've only shot a couple so hardly an expert but I do really like the Escort Magnum, especially for the price!
Your Escot is actually a 4+1. All you have to do is remove the Magazine plug, item 405 from the instruction manual. The magazine plug restrics the magazine to only holding 2 roungs.
Incorrect. The tube is also crimped to prevent more than 2 rounds from being loaded. This is UK law, the Magazine plug is still present yes but it is defunct as the law requires permanent modification for it to be considered 2+1 and so it is physically impossible to load more than 2 rounds in the tube with or without the magazine plug.
@@UKGuns I'm in the US and the manual states: Migratory Magazine Plug Migratory magazine plug when assembled decreases the capacity of the shotgun to 2+1 for safety reasons or for the regulations varying from country to country. PS. Migratory magazine plug is optional. Consult your dealer about your country’s laws regarding use of this.
@Robert Gross yes that may be the case in States but here in the UK it is a legal requirement that the gun is permanently modified to ensure only two shells can be loaded into the magazine tube (except for Section 1 shotguns which are a different category and have no magazine limitations) this modification is usually wither carried out by the manufacturer or by the importer after the gun arrives in the UK. They crimp the magazine tube on all sides so as to make it too narrow for a 12G shell to go past right at the point where 2 shells would sit.
To be honest I have shot 3 1/2" but not many. What I have shot has cycled fine, no issues. But its probably less than 100 rounds so hardly definitive. But yes my experience has been fine, to be honest this gun rarely jams with whatever I put though it. I have probably shot 2000 rounds if not more and had less than 20 stoppages in that time.
Biggest garbage I ve ever bought. after 50rds of high quality ammo ,it started double feeding,jamming,and finally completely unable to lock in when loaded, thus unable to fire. ANYBODY who gave a positive review for Hatsan was either very lucky, or NEVER fired more than 20 rds, or was paid by Hatsan, or is a gun dealer carrying Hatsan garbage ( made in Turkey).Here in US we called stuff made in China garbage. But I lived in Europe for 18 years - there EVERYBODY know that Turkey makes the biggest crap in the world. China products are LEVELS above Turkish junk!!! There are a couple of big name gun manufacturers who also have production in Turkey,but they are BIG names and stand behind they are products, not "HATSAN USA"!
I'm neither a gun dealer nor paid by Hatsan, I have also probably fired close too if not in excess of 2000 rounds through my escort Magnum with minimal failures. I know at least 4 other people who also own Hatsans who have had a similar experience, the only issue I know of that many Hatsan owners have to correct is the Magazine Tube follower can sometimes break as it is plastic (not happened to mine) I think older versions of Hatsan may have had a different reputation but certainly here in the UK Hatsan, while definitely not a PREMIUM gun, it is widely regarded as good value and it's very popular here for that reason. You can also see in the comments a number of other users with similar experiences to mine.
The explanation is in the "here in the US"... Renowned for not maintaining any machinery... As has been emphasised only too often... CLEAN any shotgun after every shooting session.
