New semi

What's everyone's view on the hatsan escort semi autos, I know
they used to have a bit of a bad rep but surely with a 3 year
warranty they'd be worth a look ???? Want something for heavy
and light loads ;D

Know two people who one one. The two guns are identical in spec,
but not in reliability. One of them seems to handle anything and
I have never witnessed it jam. The other won't cycle light loads
and jams far too often. It does nothing for the confidence of
the shooter. They may have a 3 year warranty, but I'd rather
spend the days you're waiting on it to get fixed out shooting.

i ve on the 3in mag in camo ,the main problem with these guns is
not enough oil being put on the spring/mag area and around all
moving parts .i also have a second O ring on mine just to help
things along ,i ve shot geese in scotland in heavy rain and snow
with no trouble however it needs a good clean afterwards and
allowed to dry well before oiling it again and even in the
summer the oil needs put on ,i use normal gun oil from a bottle
not a spray as to get enough around it ,i ve 2 Berettas 301/303
semi autos only difference is the weight and not as pointable as
them
the camo is abit light in colour and is fadding abit with the
elements were it sits against the duck hide ,the choke key is
not a good well made one i ve had to get abit welded to it and
always clean the choke area and well oil i did not do it over
the summer when shooting pigeons with it when i first got it to
get used with it and had trouble getting the choke out
the adjustable lenght of stock is very good and grippy to your
shoulder
if you have not all ready bought one and would like a shot i
will be happy to take you out for a shot
price wise they re what they are a cheap semi auto maybe down
the line more things will go wrong but heres waiting lol
i ve read on other forums people having problems alot of their
own making
hope this helps and would i buy another one hell yes

duck caller try some Hoppe's Dry Lube on your auto instead of
oil, it's recommended to keep semi auto's cyclin and to repel
water ect, I use it on my auto's with no problems .

when you say 'bottle' don't you mean Spray Can ??? the way I
clean my auto's is like this I get it stripped down then clean
all the parts of with a can of spray break cleaner (£2) I just
spray until all the parts are clean as new, it will dry off in
30 to a minute then with the Hoppe's Dry Lube I give all the
parts as light of a coatin as I possibly can then rebuild, just
before you've the forend back on give all the visible parts
another VERY light spray again then finish off puttin your auto
back to together, the spray brake cleaner is brilliant stuff to
get into hard to reach places especially if you don't want to
strip your gun down, you can let the bolt forward and stand the
gun on it's barrel and usein the straw spray the cleaner in
through the space where the bolt slides back and forward and
keep flushin out until it runs clean with no dirt then leave to
dry for a minute and then usin your spray dry lube with the
straw spray a very light mist inside then pull back the bolt
then give another light spray, this is a real easy way for a
quick clean & protect with strippin down ;)

I got my first new gun a 302 semi in 1982 - as far as I can
remember they were only out a few months before I got mine, I
don't know anythin about Beretta auto's before 1981/82
