I just discovered a leak in mine & they say it cant be repaired, the entire gauge incl. housing has to be replaced. I'm having trouble finding it on-line. Any help would be really great.

The gauge is in the head/end of the reservoir tube (w/valve), correct? _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

I don't know what size the threads on either the gauge or the adapter are, however.... You need to grind a socket so a very thin wall (the example I saw actually cracked) to get the gauge out of the recess in the end of the reservoir.... This gauge failure seems to be relatively common on the Hatsans.... ie it is NOT a rare occurence....

It screws onto the reservoir & the gauge is in a recess at the end with the fill port just below it. Any ideas where i might find one? _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations. For those that enjoy the hunt, no explanation is needed.

I still cant source a replacement for it though. I really need this thing fixed. Anybody know where I can find one? _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations. For those that enjoy the hunt, no explanation is needed.

I have no tools to measure it. This thing has me really stressed. _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations.

There was some new "Hatsan USA" location a month or two ago- perhaps try them for replacement parts? Sorry, don't have the website url handy... _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

It looks like that company in the UK has the gauge to fit. Now its just for me to measure mine to make sure it will fit. In the meantime I'm going take Eric's advice and get the other tube & be done with it, so I'll just have a spare. I was always going to get another tube & valve assembly anyway, so I'd have one valve and tube modified for lower power and more shots, and another for hunting.I tried the Hatsan USA site with no luck so far. Lets see if they'll ever respond to my emails. Thanks a few hundred zillion for all your help guys. _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations.

"sniper" Dan on the CAF may have a gauge.... I'd try him before going to the UK.... Bob _________________ Dominion Marksman Silver Shield - 5890 x 6000 in 1976, and downhill ever since!

But he'll be getting soon, so when he does I'm gonna order 5 of them from him. So I'll have two working tubes & two spares each. But I wonder exactly where on the valve is the weakest point that causes this leaking issue? _________________ There is no tradition greater than the hunt, passed through countless generations.
