    Cold weather hunting Big bore

    Air pressure will vary with temperature. When you fill, the air gets warmer as it's compressed. Then when you go out into the cold, the air cools off and as it does the pressure drops. It's not usually anything you need to worry about.

    What are the heaviest and best slugs for the umerex gauntlet SL .30 that will still work in the magazine?

    64 grain Patriot hollow points just barely fit. Getting decent results with them. Best speed seems to be at the low to mid 800 fps.

    Gauntlet SL 30 cal barrel twist

    The original Gauntlet 30 is 1:18 twist. I'm not sure about the SL, but it is probably the same or near it.

    FX Pocket Chrono V2 problem

    If the battery is fully charged, and the temperature is OK, then I would say your V2 is defective.

    FX Pocket Chrono V2 problem

    I am not sure what you mean. Did it register a shot, when there was no shot? I have the V2 as well. Rarely, it will fail to register a shot.

    Umarex Air leak? Gauntlet 2

    Check that you don't have the hammer spring screwed in too far, that's easy. Next you have to check that the trigger group is properly screwed in. That's a bit harder. (I believe there is a note along those lines for someone else's post. ).

    Drives me ****ing Crazy when manufacturers...

    Yeah I agree absolutely. Things like choked vs unchoked, real not nominal caliber, barrel twist rate... and posting not FPS, but FPE with a variety of projectile weights... that would go a long way. Right now it's nearly impossible to fully characterize airgun without spending many hours of research

    Which AGN Members Would You Like To Meet in Person?

    Umarex Umarex SL30 Breech/Probe Seal

    I wore out the breech seal o-rings on my Gauntlet SL30. Luckily it came with a set of replacements, but I wore those out too, a lot sooner than I expected. They really should have lasted longer. After the first set wore out I saw a posting, somewhere, about using polyurethane tubing instead. So...

    Georgian wants opportunity to hunt Iguanas

    You don't need a hunting license to hunt Iguanas in any Wildlife Management south of Fort Myers, just pay the entry fees. That being said, most of the best locations are not in the WMAs. It would probably be best to go on a guided hunt first, to get familiar with where you can play and where you...

    Any Airgunners in the WPB/Jupiter/Okeechobee area?

    In Charlotte County here, but the range sounds interesting.

    Cast pellets from soldering tin?

    In the EU, lead solder is 'verboten'. In the USA you can still get lead though. The standard lead electronics solder is about 60% lead and 40% tin. Makes it pretty hard. But yeah in a desperate situation it's sure worth a try!

    Umarex Umarex Gauntlet SL30 leaking

    Check your de-gassing screw. I had to tighten it on mine. edit: I have the original Gauntlet 30, bolt action. But the rest of the gun should be the same.

    Umarex Air leak? Gauntlet 2

    Check your degassing valve is tight. After shooting a few hundred rounds through mine, I suspected a leak. A few hundred more and I could barely hear a hiss there. Snugged it up well and has held since.

    Sw florida shops or dealers?

    Yeah you could easily spend that much. In fact, if that is the amount you set aside, I'll bet you spend every penny :} My son and I shoot ours nearly every Sunday morning, but looks like this one is gonna be wet. I have a Gauntlet .30 PCP by Umarex, a .22 SMG PCP by Tipton, and a crossman .22...

    Sw florida shops or dealers?

    Most of the better places are on the east coast. I can't think of any airgun specific stores on the west side, but many gun stores also carry airguns. Shooters World in Tampa is one I can think of. I did try to look you up on FB, but there's a quadrillion David Cramers, and I was short on time.

    Sw florida shops or dealers?

    Welcome neighbor! I'm off Harborview here. Got back into airguns about 1.5 years ago, having great fun. There's no real airgun store nearby, Tampa area and Miami are the places to go. I haven't been to Palm Beach Airguns (yet). I have ordered ammo from them though, and it always arrives within...
