And I was wondering if there is any way to mod this gun using parts from a Winchester 1000 to give it more power..
Any thoughts on this?
So... I bought a Winchester 500 yesterday..
You have a Turkish made Hatsan rifle. It is likely the model 35 with a slightly different stock. The "Winchester 1000" is the Hatsan 55. A bigger rifle with a longer tube, more spring, and more power.

So is there anything I can do to upgrade the power?TCooper wrote:You have a Turkish made Hatsan rifle. It is likely the model 35 with a slightly different stock. The "Winchester 1000" is the Hatsan 55. A bigger rifle with a longer tube, more spring, and more power.

Hi JP,
You might want to try shimming the mainspring, if there is space between coils when the rifle is cocked. This sometimes helps boost power a little bit. A "lube tune" might help if the rifle is dry inside. If the spring is thin wire, you could upgrade this component... but I'm not sure what this rifle has in factory form. Other than that, I would suggest just buying a higher powered rifle if you need more output. A longer stroke length is likely needed to get significant gains.
HTH,
