Hatsan magazine tube spring retainer

#1 Post by walesdave »

Hi all,

Taken the spring and magazine follower out of my 2+1 (crimped 7+1) Hatsan MPA tube but can't get the bit from the other end of the tube past the crimp. The Hatsan tube is open ended and has a sort of washer with a hole in the middle that stops the spring from popping out the front of the tube.

I've looked online and think the part number is '403' but I can't see anywhere to buy one.

I'm just being impatient before phoning some dealers on Monday 8-) but anyone seen these for sale anywhere?

Cheers

david

Yep - you've discovered my 'Plan B' :good:

There's a specialist nuts, bolts and screws supplier near me, if I can't find the proper retainer then I'll take the tube to them and see what they have that might fit.

From looking at the parts diagram, the retainer is a cup shape which the spring seats into, but it don't think using a flat washer would cause a problem - 5 minutes colouring with a black marker and it'll even look the part :D

Update!

Spoke to the very nice chap at Dauntsey Guns (where I bought the mag tube from) and he told me that with a bit of fiddling, the washer comes out of the front of the tube - it doesn't have to be pushed back past the crimp at all.....

So, time for a fiddle :o
