In this video Travis shows you how to adjust the trigger of your Umarex Gauntlet. Instead of a long creepy trigger, you can have a light crisp trigger that will really improve your accuracy! www.airgundepo...
AWESOME VIDEO THANK YOU. I just adjusted my trigger last night and I like my gun so much better. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE VIDEO. Showing me the process took away all anxiety. I found however, that the first time I took it apart that the bolt holding the trigger assembly prevented me from adjusting the shear stetting. The second time I took it apart, I took the trigger assembly off completely (and the side cover optional) and was able to break the bolt loose and adjust the sheer which allowed me to adjust the length of pull as well (over travel). I would recommend having the gun un-calked for this so the last bolt is not under pressure. I also found that the 1.5 mm Allen wrench was not correct for those two small bolts: the 1/16 was the correct one. All other bolts were metric. Summary: might need to take off the assembly and might need the 1/16 Allen wrench.
I shot mine for the first time yesterday and was really unhappy with how long the trigger pull was. I knew it was adjustable but this video very simply and concisely explained how to do it. Great video!
It's amazing to find a budget pcp air rifle that enables a common Joe to do the fine tuning on the trigger. Usually you are stuck with what you bought with no adjustments possible. Mine is on order and the adjustment procedure is the first thing I will do! Thanks for the excellent info-video.
Thanks man ! Again, you have the BEST videos and you always get straight to the point and make it easy to understand for newbies like me, who someday can teach other people.
Thank you Travis for helping me with my trigger on my 2018 Beeman QB Chief.22! Wow!! What a difference it makes with so little adjustments!! And tell us what tools to use!!
Instead of firing the rifle this would just degas the valve . Good to know. Your instructional video was just what I needed to assist me on the trigger adjustment. The next time I need to remove the action I will reinstall the screw holding the valve and not degass at all. What do think?
That's not quite as safe, but the valve wouldn't be unsupported (or less supported) for very long, so it may not be a big deal. It's easy enough to degas the valve that I will continue to do so. Although I probably won't remove the bottle.
my over travel spring was lock tighted in and stripped the allen key. sucks but didnt really effect the sear tuning, etc. something to watch out for if anyone does this. hit it with a heat gun before loosening.
Great video but I got lucky My 25 caliber Umarex Gauntlet come right out of the box and I did not have a long trigger poll maybe they adjusted it from the factory
Good job, great information. Could you please in a future video show the different size tanks that can be adapted to the gauntlet larger than the one that comes OEM. Thank you.
For some reason both of my Gauntlets started having the same issue on the same day. When I try to cock it the sear is not engaging. So I'm going to try to adjust the trigger to resolve the issue.
It could be a number of things. You could try removing some of the moly paste on the back side of the sear and adding a bit of pellgunoil or other gun oil so the sear rotates easier. Also, it may have too little sear engagement, or the trigger spring is putting too much pressure on the sear and not letting it go back to place.
I just realized that I could degass just the live gun with the tool and not empty the tank! I uncocked the gun and degassed off safety and it took nothing out of the bottle which is at 2000psi. Not sure why but I’m happy.
If I were doing this for myself I would hold back the bolt handle to save a little wear and tear on the valve, but since I am having to show everything on camera I do it this way because it is easier.
