Hatsan Escort Stripping.

Following a request from a fellow owner of this type of gun on how to remove the breech assembly, I found it easier to video the procedure than explain it in an email.
Was going to make it available for him only, but have published it on the EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT ANYONE FOLLOWING THIS PROCEDURE DOES SO AT THEIR OWN RISK, I AM NOT A GUNSMITH, NOR HAVE ANY RECOGNISED TRAINING IN FIREARMS. I SIMPLY POST THIS AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW I STRIP MY OWN GUN.
I WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONS FOLLOWING MY VIDEO AND AS A RESULT INJURING THEMSELVES/DAMAGING THEIR GUN.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT YOUR DEALER OR A QUALIFIED GUNSMITH.

Can you tell me if the 3 shot is on a FAC or just the 5 and 8 shot? thanks.

@huwston999

The three shot is on normal SGC, one in the chamber, two in the mag.

Hi, quality video. I'm just struggling to remove the cocking handle. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, Paul.

Hi, PM sent.

How much did this semi version cost you? My buddy has the pump 12 version. I have a video of it, he can tear up some plates with that thing!

[GUMN99]

This cost £280 in English money, which at the time I bought it was about $600

Now its about $410 !

Guns are much more expensive over here.

It's a great gun though, never let me down yet, and shot many cartridges with it...on clays and critters !

I've had an escort mag since they came out 7 years ago! F.A.C. that is I have put 1000's ans 1000's of rounds through it, over the years only brokre 1 fireing pin and a slide... was origonaly in mossy olk cammo, all warn off now so I SPRAYED IT BALCK WITH A CAN! still looks good. I have used it every day and walked 100's of miles with it! what a gun! payed £279 p.s. don't worry about the "O" ring leave it out Iv'e not had one in for years! you only need it for very low loads so it sycles O.K.?
