Perfect partner on my BT65 looks like a pro rifle
Pros
Better acuarcy
Cons
nothing
I took away one star for several reasons (See cons)
What the product description doesn't tell you is that this device will function on ANY brand of airgun that has a threaded muzzle end! You don't need to own a Hatsan to use it. It will fit a Gamo Coyote, and several models of BSA rifles, as well as several Hatsan products, and perhaps many other guns. I now own seven Hatsan air strippers, in all marketed calibers! I have them on a Hatsan Gallatian II, a Hatsan AT44-10 Long, a Hatsan BT65 SB Elite, a Umarex Walther Rotek R8, and three Gamo Coyotes (which are BSA Bucaneer's in disguise). If you search the web, you can sometimes find these on sale, which can help a lot. I've paid from $16 to $25 each for the ones I own.
Since you won't be getting any instructions with the air stripper, you will be left to figure out how to install it. That means googling it and going to blogs, etc., to dig for the information. Pay close attention to what I'm about to tell you, because it could mean the difference in your success, or failure to produce positive results! Right out of the box, it probably WON'T WORK for you! It could even decrease your accuracy! In most every case, you must adjust the brass tube insert, that you see inside the device! To make that adjustment, is trial and error, which involves loostening a tiny set screw that you can barely see just below the product lettering. That will allow you to slide the internal conical brass tube nearer, or farther to, or from, the muzzle of the gun. The proper position is different for every gun, much like finding the correct pellet that your gun likes - you must adjust for your particular gun. When you find the correct distance from the muzzle, your groups will tighten up to scarey precision! Don't forget to tighten that set screw when you find that point!
Pros
Properly installed, this device can add to the accuracy of many types and qualities of air guns - both rifles and handguns. We all want accuracy, and for under $30, can now have it. It should help ALL air guns which allow for it's proper installation. Remember that it will only fit on a gun that has a threaded muzzle end! Usually, if you have an unsighted airgun that is loud, you will probably see an end cap, or perhaps a moderator with or without holes in it, which can be removed by hand twisting counterclockwise. Once removed, you can easily hand tighten your air stripper onto the barrel, in place of the protective cap or moderator. This assuming that the threads on your barrel's muzzle are the same as those on the air stripper. Your air stripper will NOT work on a shrouded barrel, a sound suppressed muzzle, or a barrel that has a weighted muzzle end. An air stripper is a device that is NOT intended to suppress sound. It is a device that can improve your gun's accuracy - IF you install it properly!
Cons
This device is a bit pricey; there are no instructions that come with it; the item description is sadly lacking in detail, leaving out very important information for prospective customers.
If you are looking to tune your HATSAN in look no further installed this on my BT65 I can make one ragged hole at 25 yards 5 pellets into one hole.
Pros
Great product for your HATSAN
Cons
Would be much nicer made from alum.
This could be the best $30 to spend on your air rifle. I bought this along with my Hatsan AT-44S long in .25, and I am glad I did. I put it on right out of the box and then proceeded to site in my rifle. After I had it sighted in I thought I would remove it to see if it really did anything or not. I checked the air pressure, loaded 5 pellets set the target at 20 yards and then took the shoots. I could immediately see that the group was much larger. I then put the stripper back on, filed the rifle back to the same air pressure as before, loaded 5 pellets and then took another 5 shoots. The group was back down to where it was before. I could go on, but as they say pictures are worth a 1000 words, so I am including pictures of the 2 groups in this review.
I am not sure why people say that it is PVC and brass, because mine is all metal, no plastic anywhere.
Pros
Does exactly what it is supposed to do.
Cons
Can not think of any.
I was a little nervous since there's about .5 inch from the end of the barrel to the pellet entrance into the stripper. The BT65 IN .25 Cal is a powerful gun and there is no room for error here! It performed perfectly. Looks good and seems to add accuracy, although it is hard to say for sure. I hit bulls at 50 Yards with no problem
consistently. The CRACK sound seems to go more downrange as well. 5 Stars for me, fun add-on!
Pros
accuracy and appearance, nice benefits for a small price!
Cons
none really, maybe long for some case's but easy to remove.
I just received this air stripper today and put it on my Hatsan BT65 SB. I fired about a dozen shots at 12 yards in my basement shooting range and all I can say is WOW!!! Using the JSB Diablo Kings in .25 cal, I was getting groupings that were just touching the edge of each other on average without the air stripper... Now I am putting every round through the same hole with the air stripper attached! It is absolutely amazing! This should have been standard equipment on the BT65 but none the less, it is worth every penny! I'm sure this will translate to mind blowing accuracy at greater distances outdoors, wind permitting of course! This is a MUST HAVE if you truly want every drop of accuracy out of your HATSAN Rifle!
Pros
UNBELIEVABLE ACCURACY IMPROVEMENT!!!
Cons
Should have been standard equipment with the already pricey Hatsan BT65 SB!
only site i found which carries this!
Pros
not overly heavy but well constructed seems to also deflect sound to 3 and 9 o'clock position, looks a little futuristic.
Cons
the price( its only pvc and brass)
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Will this fit a blitz Well let's fit a blitz
asked Robin from USAThis product works for Hatsan Blitz?
asked Cristian from USAwill this fit the Dream-Tact Compact? if so, is it unnecessary?
asked Jay from USANo. it only fits Hatasn airguns. The moderator or shroud on a FX gun is better than a air stripper.
Mark from USAWill this work on the quiet energy bt65
asked JohnNo! It won't work with shrouded barrels, moderated barrels (unless the moderator is attached to a threaded muzzle and can be removed), or any gun that does not have a 1/2-20 NPT threaded muzzle. It will work on any gun having such a threaded muzzle. It doesn't have to be a Hatsan!
William from USANo. It has no way of being fitted to a QE version of any Hatsan guns, or guns having shrouds, or other muzzle attachments, but it will fit any maker's product (not just Hatsan guns) if the gun has a 1/2 - 20 UNF threaded muzzle.
William from USANo, unfortunately this will not fit the QE series. You need a 1/2 UNF fitting at the end of the barrel which the QE series does not because it has the shrouded barrel with built in suppressor.
Darren from USANo your barrel doesn't have threads
Wyatt from USAYes, that is what I am using it on.
Carl from USANo, unfortunately this will not work on the QE series. The QE series does not have the 1/2" UNF fitting on the end of the shroud so you will not be able to attach it.
Darren from USAhi I want 1 of air-stripper-25-caliber and I am from kuwait can you ship it to kuwait my email is [email protected]
asked abdullahAbdullah, Please contact our International Shipping Department at [email protected]. They can answer any questions you might have. Sincerely, The Airgun Depot Customer Care Team
Scott from USACan this work with a Hatsan break barrel rifle, or just PCP?
asked Danielit only works on pcp hatsan
vincent from USAI don't think it will work on the Hatsan break barrels. I have both a Hatsan 125TH (break barrel) and a Hatsan AT44PA (PCP). The AT44 has threads on the outside of the end of the barrel. It has a small piece that simply unscrews and the air stripper screws on in its place. My 125TH has a large plastic shroud on the end of the barrel that I believes serves as a noise suppressor. It has a set screw that appears to hold the shroud on so I would think it's not threaded. Unless you have a thread die set with matching thread pattern for the air stripper and the desire to form the threads on the outside of your break barrel yourself, I would pass on the air stripper. It would make a great excuse to get yourself a Hatsan PCP air rifle, though!
Stephen from USAHas this helped with accuracy?
asked Taylor from USAYes, it will aide in accuracy improvement, but it MUST be properly installed! Right out of the box, it may, or may not make any improvement. It is very easily screwed in place to any 1/2-20 NPT threaded muzzle, but installation doesn't stop there! Liken it to a scope. It is relatively easy to mount a scope to a gun, but scopes must be sighted in to be effective, don't they? Just putting a scope on a gun doesn't mean that you will immediately be able to hit your target, does it? It might be dead on, but almost probably isn't. An air stripper works the same way. It's easy to attach, but probably requires adjustment. That is acomplished by loostening the tiny set screw and sliding the brass insert nearer or farther from the muzzle, and through trial and error, viewing the results of your effort. It will work for you if you do your part. When you find that sweet spot, lock the set screw.
William from USAYes, very much so. Check out my review above with the included pictures and you can see the difference with and without the stripper.
Darren from USAYes, it definitely helps. Every once in awhile I would experience the stray fly off pellet, no such thing anymore. Makes accurate rifles more accurate.
Stephen from USA
Hatsan make VG guns for the price. When you look at fps on their product review they are for lead pellets. This is a slight problem when pellets are going super-sonic and they wobble. I recently purchased a BT65 .25 rated at 1070 fps. I bought JSB .25 gr. Hunter extreme 28 gr and barracuda 31 gr. It might be altitude here (1000 ft.) but seems the Hatsan's break sound barrier on guns rated over 1000 fps.(I have AT44 long barrel rated at 1040). When I added the air stripper it would get tighter clusters. Without the stripper only the 31 gr. pellets would cluster tight. With the stripper the 31 gr. barracudas and 28 grain are hammering into ragged hole. Nice looking addition and works great.
Pros
keeps the pellet stable in flight, especially heavier pellets. Once you use it you will not want to shoot without it.
Cons
makes rifle longer. Not a problem for me but fills gun case to max.
