Hatsan Blitz air rifle jam problem fix

[@rightsideup4444]

What I did, because I thought it didn't have enough tension on it, so I took the screw out and counted how many the factory went past 12 o'clock and it was 3 times , so I went 4 times past 12 o'clock and it works perfectly now. If it doesn't stay fixed I will try your method, but I noticed my mag was getting chipped on the back side of the gears in the mag ,so that told me it didn't have enough tension on the spring. Thanks for greasing it and showing everything! Great job brother! 👏

Hi Alex, I am glad you have a new hobby just like I do. I also bought a Hatsan Bullmaster .25 and lately is showing this issue with magazine jamming. Can you please advise me on the grease I can use and if it makes any difference? Will Lithium grease work? Thank you and "keep your wings" flying/shooting :)

I bought a Blitz new amd ot did this. Took it back, they had another new one and it did the same. I stand to be corrected as they are working on the issue now. I'll wait amd see. It bothers me that you have to add a fix or fixes to a weapon that has come new off the floor. Also I'm not practical so that is a challenge for me. But thanks for the video. I'll see what the guys come back with

[@jeffreyhoffman1358]

I own the.30. Have not had it for long but having many little problems. Bolt action is very very hard to get in the open locked position even after lubing.

[@briancahn1497]

My .30 Blitz started jamming on full auto after the 3rd magazine. Now it won’t cycle more than 3 to 6 shots per burst. Fixes recommended in this video didn’t resolve the issue....... love this gun - the concept of it anyway - so I’ll send back to factory to repair or replace and hope for the best.

[@vasprofessional1094]

Check to be sure the nut on the magazine isn't too tight against the side of the gun. The magazine moves around a bit and the nut can jam against the side of the gun.

[@tcl6]

Also look under the fold out tab where the magazine goes, there's a hex screw there that is used to ensure that fold out tab doesn't lower too far. That fold out tab is used to hold the magazine up and snug in the breach. When the magazine drops down in the breach, the holes in the mag won't line up correctly. This info IS NOT in the manual. See this video by "MacabeSpeed" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIrGfmdjlLVloNk) Go to 2:24. he describes the issue very well but uses a temporary fix. The real fix is under that tab as a hex screw.

[@AirgunChannel]

Where's your drone bro? I still have my Mad Mushroom from back in the day! You also have to clean your barrel each 500 rounds.

[@highervoltage5430]

Depends on your ammo, but I find I can get about 1500 rounds before the accuracy starts to drop shooting JSB pellets. Thankfully, cleaning the barrel is really easy on an airgun.

[@grandtrunk49]

Shouldn't have to do all of that on a brand new rifle, especially at that costs. Factory engineers should incorporate these fixes into the manufacturing process. I don't know, maybe they do after a while. It's a head ache for the customer in particular those that do not care to go thru all of these fixes.

[@highervoltage5430]

This is the first of its kind so there are going to be issues. I understand that this is a first generation and I am sure that future rifles will be better. That stated, after the fix, this gun has never had an issue.

[@briekhnaa]

Why gear oil ? Why not balistol oil ? Also is there any chance of O ring damage because of oil/ grease? 🤔

[@highervoltage5430]

I actually no longer use gear oil. I switched to hydraulic oil for my air guns. Gear oil was causing reduced efficiency due to higher surface tension.

[@oa2269]

Hi I just purchased the hatsan blitz in .22. The magazines have a ton of tension. Do you think they did something new and different to the new magazines?

[@ChrisFarmer-j6d]

Have one that ran fine with pellets , 30 cal. Run a few hundred pellets thought it without a glitch , well tried fx slugs , ran one clip and a half of another and it stopped and it want run single , simi or full auto now , trigger seems unresponsive to anything now could this be the same problem or should I say fix ? Any help would be great love the machine !

[@rightsideup4444]

So you only turn in past 12 o'clock 1 time? It has to much tension on it?

[@sotheamam1244]

Now it fire good at semi auto.at full auto I have to fire semi first then select full auto..if I select full auto first it will gam first shot. Don't know why...but don't really mind as long as it fire.

[@hardtruth4459]

Seems like it needs to be cocked between switching between semi and full. But it could lead to a double fire which can cause ricochet. So be careful with this gun.

[@jeanvanrooyen6004]

anyone else finding the hammer very difficult to cock? I lubed all the places like in this video but the bolt is a REAL effort to pull when the gun is not ready to fire.

[@sotheamam1244]

I use hand pump...and didn't know that you have to fill fast so the valve close fast to seal the air from coming out

[@highervoltage5430]

Are you training for the Olympics? Hand pumping this would take an hour.

[@luisGonzalez-mk3xp]

I use a pump too, so the reason why my blitz does not fill is because the valve is not closing? That hissing sound coming from the bolt is the air leaking? Omg. So how did you solve this problem. Im still at zero bars.

[@highervoltage5430]

@@luisGonzalez-mk3xp - Cock the gun back and lock it. The hammer is resting on the valve holding it open.

[@TheLovedr79]

I'm about to try this. If it doesn't work I will be sending back. I think mine is having the collision issue. It will shoot all day on semi, but in full it shoots about 5 rounds. It also does this without a magazine or a round in it when dry firing on full......

[@highervoltage5430]

You might have the other problem: the hammer speed issue. This is a lot harder to fix. Basically what happens is the hammer is sent back into the spring and begins going back down before the bolt has a chance to move. The hammer contacts the bolt and stops it from firing. I don't have a fix for this problem, currently, but I can look into it as it seems pretty common.

[@TheLovedr79]

Thank you

[@highervoltage5430]

@@TheLovedr79 - I did a little research and was able to jam my gun up on full-auto by simply using a thick oil in the mechanism. What I found that worked great was synthetic 10W40 motor oil in the bolt mechanism. Take the 5 screws out and remove the side plate as well as the barrel part in the front. Wipe out ALL grease and oil. From there place a VERY thin coating of 10W40 or 10W30 motor oil on all of the parts and reassemble. Also wipe the barrel clean where the piston moves and coat that in a VERY thin coating of motor oil as well.

remove the plate on the opposite side of the bolt lever as well with the auto mechanisms ,,,, the gun comes with the dirtiest grease I have ever seen so while I had it apart I removed and cleaned all moving parts and lightly re Oiled with a air chamber lube , (no more gritty sounding action) gun has performed flawlessly for over 1500 rounds at this point with a dissemble and re-clean few dry cloth barrel pull throughs at around 500 rounds

[@josephbako3683]

do not take apart the magazine . the spring unwinds if you do . you will not get it wound again to the same tension . the repair in this video has the spring at half the original tension . dont do it .

[@highervoltage5430]

That was Hatsan's fix months after this video was published. The problem is that it is too much tension and causes wear of the magazine.

[@eddiekytia]

Hey buddy! I just came across your channel and see your very educated on batteries so I'm hoping you can help me... on my bicycle I want to install 4 turn signals just as flashers not to run continuously as driving lights. So I know they are 12v but if I take say a milwaukee 12v battery to use... as it looses power I'm guessing the voltage drops and it will not run the 12v flashers as it goes below the 12v's.....correct? so what kind of small battery can I use that will last a 12 hour bike ride for 4 flashers. I guess they are around 10-20 watts each. I need a battery that is rechargeable and IM GUESSING it would have to be regulated to 12v even as it drains? Does this exist? And help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED

[@highervoltage5430]

DO you know the load (wattage) of your lights? 20 Watts at 12 volts is 1.8 amp-hours. Thus, you will need 21.6 amp-hours at 12 volts to run your lights for 12 hours.

[@myfalconry76]

The reason they jam is because people are trying to shoot heavy pellets out of those mags. I have a 25 and have never had a jam. The easiest fix is don’t shoot heavy pellets or slugs. The lighter the ammo the better they were not designed to shoot slugs or heavy pellets. Simplest fox. Also you should not use gear oil. Airgun oil or silicone oil

Same concept of fixing old marauder mags. The new hole allows for repositioning the spring, which increases tension, allowing the mag to cycle faster.

[@highervoltage5430]

@@hightidelowtide6380 - Remove the stock with the single hex bolt. Hammer is below the bolt (you can see it once you remove the stock). Remove the bolt by taking the rear stop out and check the pin connecting the bolt to the hammer below. If it is damaged or bent, you have blowback kicking the hammer back before the bolt can reset. This causes a collision between the two and jams the gun up. What happens is the hammer is thrown back by the air pressure and hits the spring. The spring then fires it forward before the lever catch on the side can stop it. As it moves forward, it collides with the bolt and causes the jam. The easiest fix for this is to degrease the hammer and track and re-lubricate it and the slide with the thinnest possible coating of grease. This lets air pass by the hammer and slows its travel. If that doesn't fix it, let me know. I will take mine apart and do a video on more advanced fixes. I got mine working so well that I even have a DonnyFL suppressor on it and it still works full-auto despite everyone saying it will not work with a suppressor.

Yes, this cartridge mod works. Worth the time and effort. I've done it and also made a video after viewing Higher Voltage (kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYm0aYeLbtWfn6M). Works GREAT. Not only am I not having jams on the .22 caliber but the accuracy has also improved greatly. I think what was going on before was that the pellets were getting jammed into the breach too soon before they were correctly positioned therefore deforming the skirt. I also found that the "fins" on the wheel inside the cartridge were getting mashed by the bolt coming in too soon. Those should be cleaned up a bit after this mod. Those still having issues ... make sure you've wound the spinner tight enough. Simply placing the hole on the other side isn't enough.
