CARE and FEEDING of AIRGUNS The COMPRESSION CHAMBER is that portion of the receiver where actual air compression takes place when the piston moves forward in shooting. The piston seal in most modern air guns is  made of a synthetic material that is self lubricating.  It should only be lubricated during routine maintenance performed by an authorized service shop. Recoilless spring-piston airguns such as FWB 300S and 65, also require very little lubrication, that should only be performed during routine maintenance. MAINSPRINGS are the storehouses of the energy provided by cocking the air gun. Velocity and smoothness can be somewhat increased by simple, but careful, treatment.  Add Beeman Metal-2-Metal paste (99130) with a cotton swab through the long slot in the receiver which is exposed directly or when the stock is removed.Recoilless guns receiving extensive use in competition should be shop serviced once a year. Regular recoiling spring-piston airguns will benefit greatly from an initial application of Beeman Metal-2-Metal (99130);

Moly is also useful in such areas as the sliding small link in the Beeman/Webley Tempest and Hurricane, and on rifle cocking linkages. BARREL PIVOT POINTS and detents benefit from regular lubrication with a light polarizing oil. however, it is essential to good accuracy, use a product specifically designed for airguns such as Napier airgun oil.  For storage, clean the bore and leave it with a light coating of Napier airgun oil.  After cleaning, follow with dry patches until no trace of oil is seen.  (Do NOT use regular firearm bore cleaners as they may injure seals and cause dieseling).  EXTERIOR SURFACES should be regularly wiped with a Silicone Cloth (#9400) to maintain the quality of the finish. Before any guns are stored, they should be given a good wiping with a very high-grade polarizing oil such as Beeman MP-5.steel shot or darts generally injure rifled bores.

It has adequate power. However, the one I got has such spotty accuracy that it is virtually useless.modern design air purifierTaking larger game with big bore, air powered guns is becoming legal and more popular in many states. hunter air purifiers reviewsLong distance target shooting at 100-300 yards is also driving interest in these larger caliber air rifles. best whole house hepa air purifierA few small boutique makers have tried to supply the ever increasing demand with mixed results.

Hatsan of Turkey is part of that crowd, having recently released the “Carnivore” line of big-bore air rifles in .30 and .357 (9mm) sizes. When asked if we wanted to review one, we simply could turn down the chance to see if .22LR would finally be knocked off its perch. *TFB was shipped the .30 version for review. Out of the Box and First Impressions: My first thought upon receiving the box was “Holy Smokes! This thing is long!” The box itself was almost 48″ long, which did not fit in my muscle car. I had to recline the front seat to get the box in the car to bring it home and once there, the rifle is about as long as the box would imply.

The QE Carnivore is nearly 40″ long with the sound moderator. However, the heft is solid. Trying to twist various portions of the rifle was met with solid resistance and no squeaking. Balance is directly over the middle rubberized hand supports, which is farther forward than I would like on a firearm, but par for the course with airguns. The stock itself is a single-piece molded affair with multiple rubber additions to increase handling. The grip also includes rubber inserts. The stock is fully adjustable, putting a PRS to shame in terms of movement, but is harder to adjust. The stock relies on friction for its adjustments. LOP and the comb both rely on two metal rods with flat-head pressure locks. The butt-pad position is adjustable with a hex key. The receiver itself is a glossy black metal extrusion, milled for its various functions. The rail on top actually has two dovetails to ensure compatibility with most modern scope mounts, picatinny or weaver. The magazine release is forward on the receiver and locks/unlocks HK-style.

The bolt itself is in the rear on the right hand side about 3″ above the trigger. The safety is annoyingly on the left-hand side of the receiver and is automatically reset with each shot. This annoyance is compounded as the shooter has to break their form to disengage the safety, which means-follow-up shots take longer with a higher chance of missing. Also included in the box are wrenches for adjustment, o-rings (which I was happy to see, more on that later), the instruction manual (which is almost all written, would love to see a few more pictures, especially for the complex adjustments and filling), and two magazines (one was installed in the air rifle). The second magazine is a nice touch, as most airguns have had only the one. Not fully versed in all things airgun, I thought this rifle was going to be like the others previously through for review, going up to 300 PSI using a hand-pump. The Carnivore works on pressures that are greater by orders of magnitude over standard .22 and .17 pellet guns we have previously tested.

Looking at the gauge, it was labeled to 3,000 PSI. Thus, to test the rig, I had to head out and track down a scuba or paintball shop, of which the paintball shops would not fill it due to the unique fill method. One rotates a cover at the end of the tank which reveals a passageway where to fill you stick in a rod with two o-rings to seal and fill the reservoir. This is not an ideal solution ( the paintball shop I went to would not fill it for this reason), which was compounded by marring at one end of the passageway. This cut an o-ring and led to leaking. Once replaced (replacements were in the box, we went in from the other side and it worked without issue. However, to keep myself shooting, I was forced to rent an 88ci tank and various adapters to transfer air to the reservoir when shooting. After tracking down a scuba shop (relatively rare in the MidWest USA), I filled up the tank and rented a 4,500 PSI donor system so that I could shoot the Carinivore more than the 21 shots Hatsan claims it will last.

Heading to the local indoor range, I set up for accuracy testing using a Hawke 3-9×40 rimfire scope (with 1/4 MOA clicks). All shooting was done in the sitting position, using a Caldwell adjustable front rest and bean bag rear. Ammunition used for testing was JSB Diablo .30 Match pellets. I shot 3 groups of 7 rounds (using the magazine capacity as the limiter) on standard 5-target sheet. I fired 3 complete courses of fire, re-charging the cylinder and letting it cool to ambient temperature prior to the next string. Groups varied between .75″ center-to-center and up to 1.4″ maximum spread, normally varying across the vertical plane. This indicates slight inconsistencies in velocity, but they presented themselves only in the last magazine, indicating shooters should use only the first two magazines for ultimate accuracy. Eliminating the last magazine from results, across all three strings of fire, groups averaged .92″ center-to-center. To borrow a technical term, “not to shabby” and more than enough accuracy to take out a squirrel or rabbit at conventional engagement distances.

Noise control from the QE or Quiet Energy system was excellent. Hatsan claims that even at full power, the Carnivore should be less than 100 dB. My ears would agree and when all those “dirty” powder-shooters left and left me to my own devices, I removed my ears and indoors there was nary an issue. Where the Carnivore really stands out is the trigger. Its a two-stage affair and compared to the Benjamin Armada we reviewed previously, this was a  night and day difference. Fully adustable (although a pain to do so), the trigger has a long take-up prior to the second-stage wall. The second stage breaks about 4.5 lbs with little creep. I dare say this is a marksman’s trigger, but its distance from the grip would make short-fingered shooters stretch. I am divided on the rifle as a package, principally due to its logistics. It uses .30 pellets, which are hard to source anywhere other than the internet. Then, to get the velocities required on the big bore rounds, it requires a 3,000 PSI source, which means you need the infrastructure or are making exceedingly regular trips to your local scuba-shop which can fill the tank.
