A lot of very good information on mods for the Umarex Gauntlet 30 caliber, thanks for that , only problem is the background was way too distracting. I am a retired mechanic and still a gearhead.
Well, Danny is a legend. I tried and tried to get my ex-wife interested in air guns, but the best I could do is get her to shoot some cans. (She was pretty good, but that's beside the point.) Danny here has managed to recruit an impressively charming and beautiful woman into the airgun world. Whatever guns he chooses, whatever mods he enacts, the man is a legend.
Thabks for the video. Lots of questions for you because I have been considering getting one myself. When you drilled it for slugs did you use a drill press or free hand it? You mentioned hitting targets at 300 yards that's amazing but how's the consistency? Not necessarily at 300 I doubt I'd be trying that but 100? For the looseness have you considered great stuff foam window and door foam?
I’m going to try honing out the rifling in the chamber. I like how yours loads slugs I have 2 barrel bands on mine, I’m using a carbon fiber tank and adjustable regulator. And the bands when locked down properly allow no movement. It’s funny because I find it’s best to mount the bands with the front barrel bushing removed so I can watch the inner barrel alignment. When I first put them on it pushed the shroud up, but as you get it to the correct tightness on the mounting screws, it will move into alignment and you can see if it’s pulling left, right, up, down once centered stop tightening and replace the end cap/ bushing and it’s accurate no matter what I do to it my POI won’t move. I now have an ATN X-sight 4K pro on it for hunting coyotes at night and like you found it will drop them in their tracks Can’t wait to try the chamber mod Great video ❤
Well I have to admit I'm jealous you have it all beautiful wife nice good shooting air rifles also a nice collection of muscle cars and you are also a good shot showing us some good videos what is the mopar under the cover I have a few myself also thought I saw a 1974 grandprix on the lift which I had that I bought in 1976 with a 455 triple black dual exhaust with the same factory rally's I bought myself a fx m3 for a retirement present wish I had somewhere to stretch it out to 300 yards love to watch your long range varmit shooting videos thanks keep them coming just found your channel
Sup great video sweet young lady sweet car's n air gun's Just a suggestion but i bin shooting n working on guns for years to polish a barrel we hand lap you pour hot lead whith a pano wire put in from breach push i out the front hafe way n use 3 side fill cut 2 grooves n use jb bore polish Work it back n forth end to end You fell tite spots tell you get it all polish n you fell the same tenchin all the way thru Ill b checking out more of your Video's
if you only do one mod to the avenger, then put a plenum on it! 16-25cc. i have a heavily modified .25 with a terminator stock,polished barrel , ae swede bottle conversion , 700 cc bottle , i shortened the barrel 5 inches with ae swede carbon fiber shroud , ported barrel and body , button crowned the barrel. out of all that , the plenum was the most substantial mod. i gained 55 fps just installing that. once you get started , you wont quit!
Ffp Helex is a must you’ll know what I mean when you start using it you won’t like the barely visible reticle at first but you’ll get used to it also get a range finder and set up strelok you’ll be unstoppable
Wow, that's what I call modification. I willing to bet those cars your working on behind you are going to be way better then new when your done with them. You have a amazing mind.
I wish what you did of modifications and tweaks are displayed in a video like this, you made me eager to do mine the same way but still feel hesitating as I didn't really see practically what you did to your badass gun!
Thanks to youboth for the video ! Big props on your mods bro! When you say you polished, what are you using to polish these parts? Also what kind of oil on the sand paper? Would love to see some of those long shots! Especially the squirrels getting popped at several hundred yards!
The bottle in it's position for the manometer and fill-port to be 'in place' is indeed a little loose, but this is explained in the Umarex videos....yes a spacer is a simple solution but in fact when the system is under pressure the air cylinder is rigid....or mine is...and the Umarex video says this also. Also the barrel is 'kinda' free-floating ...just passes through a collar at the forend...and is fixed further back in the action....so that 'damper' won't allow this...but that's a 'banded-barrel or free-floating debate' ...I use both! .... the tigger is yes a simple single stage but I was actually surprised that it was pretty useable, but yes easily improved with spring changes. All in all for the price I think that the rifle is incredible, but if course it can be improved. Good to see someone looking into their guns....I do...from my FX, to my Steyrs ....it's all engineering....which is the fun part to me! Nice garage!!! 🙂
Mine just arrived today. I shot it with the stock barrel and no suppressor and it was very loud. Can you share a link where you bought your Silencer? I wanna do a shooting test video on my outdoors channel but can’t at my location until I get something to quiet the noise.
Once last thing. First off, thanks for the link. My suppressor arrived today and I got to shoot a few before it got dark. Question I noticed no matter how much I adjusted my scope the rifle constantly shot to the right in the same exact spot. I also checked the barrel and I noticed my suppressor was leaning to the right some and wasn’t centered. I tried to adjust it but it stayed leaning to the right . Do you know what I should do to fix it or is it a bad suppressor or maybe the barrel is off??
I pretty much hv done same thing to one of my pcp. But to polish the barrel I take a long enough brass rod and wrap the same 2000 grit Sand paper around one end and the other end goes in the drill machine. Then it is easier n less time to polish. Also more presise.
JUST WET SAND PAPER.NO NEED OF OIL WHILE POLISHING WITH SANDPAPER.ALSO NOT TOO MUCH TO DO.JUST SLOWLY GO DOWN FROM THE TRANSFER PORT SIDE TOWARDS THE END N THEN CLEAN THE BARREL WITH DRY CLOTH N THEN SOME SILICON SPRAY .DONE @@stevedeforest2813
I wish I had a video but only pictures. It was really foggy that day and the tactacam makes the scope hard to see through. My Goal is to get another one on video
@@cruzoutdoors7912 you will parallax adjustments are much easier. And depending on distance don’t need any holdover. Love your videos especially cause I’m in the 805 also . Just the other day I saw a video of yours. You past realy close to my place in Camarillo. We’ll keep up the good work.
Don’t kill the wildlife my friend, these animals are sharing these lands with us. The same guy who put us on this planet put those animals here too. We have no right to kill them to try out our toys, just cause they’re no able to shoot back at us. Have love, and compassion, for them. There are many targets out there that we can shoot at.
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth” [Gen 1:26-28]. Obviously this does not mean that we have the right to torture or abuse animals, but we do have dominion over them. We can kill them for food or population control. That's why there are hunting seasons. Human beings help to control the population of certain animals so that one species doesn't become invasive and dominate any landscape. Hunting is not only used for food. Animals can also be pests when it comes to crops meant to feed humans or pests for simple homesteaders like myself. There are certain bird species that can create huge problems for a small homestead. Same with squirrels, rabbits, deer, bugs, etc.
