Last year, I bought my grandsons an Escort PS youth .410 semi auto. My buddy at work has a 12 gauge and has never had an issue with it. I got the gun home, set up a target and from the beginning it would not cycle shells. It would double feed and jam constantly. I tried low brass and high brass made no difference. I contacted Hatsan and my experience with them was terrible. The shop told me to bring it back and they would deal with Hatsan. Anyhoo, this has been going on for almost a year and still no gun, no repair. The other day the shop owner told me he would trade me a new PS 20-gauge youth model for the .410. I picked up the 20-gauge Saturday, only this time I disassembled the gun wiped all the internals down with alcohol and then wiped all the internals with Rem oil and CLP, just a very light coating. I checked for any sharp edges and burs but really everything inside seemed ok. The Internal build of the 20 gauge is different than the .410. It reminds me of a Remington 1100. I picked up a box of Winchester 2 3/4" 7 1/2 shot 3/4 oz loads. I shot all 25 rounds thru the gun and only had 1 failure to feed. What do you all think? Do any of you have any experience with the youth 20 or any Hatsan for that matter? I'm hoping once I start putting 3 inchers thru it everything will be ok. I ordered a Trulock .585 for it, so hopefully get to pattern it pretty soon.
