105 shot Gauntlet string!!!! In .22 Cal

[oldpro]

I put together a kit for the Gauntlet it includes a new poppet, hammer spring, spacer and RVA this will reduce cocking effort substantially!!! And increase shotcount substantially also. The below string was done with stock gun except fore mentioned parts. Stock 13ci tank and regulator raised to 1300 psi or 50psi from stock as tested by myself.

Well over a ton of fpe for a 13ci tank, now that’s more like it.  Very nice work, Travis!

Thanks Jason!!! Man do I hate running long strings this string alone took 31 minutes pacing myself between shots. That brings the  FPE/cuin per shot to nearly 1.5 from well below 1.0 stock and man is it easier to cycle now, my wife had no problem cocking it at all where as before she couldnt and I even double loaded it several times because of that stiff stock spring.

OK...big plus for your post. 

AT LAST....a Gauntlet that gets good efficiency.

That's what regulation is suppose to do.  Not just "more shots" but a "CARP LOAD more shots" without being an air hog.

Thank you! This with the trigger mods has greatly improved how the gun functions while shooting and Im not even talking about the efficiency or muzzle report Im just talking about cycling and firing it. The whole thing feels 100% better. I did crank the RVA in and it exceeded 900 FPS with the CP 14.3 and backed it out to 700 FPS just for those who want to know.

That excellent work Travis...
Now how do I go about getting a couple of those kit from you...?
I have 2 Gauntlets in the .22 cal.. and all stock.

Subscribed to this topic to follow it.

Interested in this kit plus the trigger mods for my 177 Gauntlet but I'm not a tinkerer. How difficult is it to install for a novice?

Thanks,

Jim

James the kit requires tearing the gun down to the valve so though not hard it does require some skill but I also provide a tuning service to install and tune it.

[blackdiesel]

When will the kits be available and what is the cost? I'm interested in getting one for a 177 and 22 cal.

[JimQwerty123]

Travis,

Thank you for the information. We have to recover from some unexpected medical expenses before I can do anything else airgun related but I will be contacting you.

Thanks,

Jim

I literally just finished testing 20 minutes ago so Ill get with the boys at JSA and see how fast we can get these going.

Travis,

My wife has to have another (unexpected) surgery on her foot. This will be the 3rd since February 2017 but, of course, the deductibles rolled over 1/1. Not serious as surgery goes but all surgeries carry some risk.

Thanks,

Jim

Very impressive work Travis!  Way to make the Gauntlet shine.

[Dbez1]

This may be a stupid question but my Gauntlet is pretty accurate in stock form. What do these mods do for accuracy?

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Holy COW!  Those mods coupled with a .5L tank and you'll be shooting a tin of pellets per fill!  LOL!  Great work tweaking the Gauntlet!

[JoeKool]

Nice that’s a bunch of useful shots!!!

In theory less cyclic vibration would aid in keeping the muzzle on target. Thats another reason I dislike over sprung guns.

You read my mind..
I have ordered all the parts that you have listed plus the 23ci tank x's two..
Cant wait for this kit to be made available for purchase...
Thanks guys for all your hard work and knowledge.

Looks great, please keep all of us posted on cost and what's involved as a DIY project.
