Umarex Gauntlet PCP Rifle Mag Reviews

Works as it should.

More metal than plastic.

Nothing else to add.

Function and price

Nothing

Grab you a couple extra mags. I carry a couple with pellets and the others with slugs

Work great nice having spare mags

You don't have to feed pellets one by one

Nothing

Easy to load. Easy to insert into rifle. Good affordable price.

Nothing comes to mind.

Having multiple mags sure makes it easy to keep shooting without having to stop and reload mags.

Works just fine.

Nothing.

Buy at least two extra magazines.

Actual Umarex magazine, not an after-market

Although These are actual Umarex magazines, one out of the two that I ordered does not work properly.

Fits my Origin as expected

Make the loading port more circular, with less overlap between shot positions. The port only needs to be large enough to not require placing the port over each hole with a lot of precision. The way it is just seems to let pocket lint & grit into the mag too easily The numbers would be much nicer if they indicate the number of remaining shots

I think the cover is too loose on these mags, and the spring is unreliable. There's two basic things I always do with one of these mags: bend the end of the spring where it catches on the mag outer housing, so that it's less likely to pop loose & tighten the cover retaining screw so the cover doesn't flop around while loading. If the cover moves too easily, it becomes a bit more likely to accidentally drop the mag

This works perfectly in my marauder .22

Lower cost about $10 would be good.

I have not yet received my gauntlet 2 but I am sure it will work as well as it does in the marauder.

Solid construction. Clearly marked direction of rotation. Excellent pricing. Repairable.

This is a rather simple device, so it works very well. The mechanism is well made with very little to malfunction. It personifies the KISS concept.

I have 8 the .25 cal version of this magazine for my .25 cal Gauntlet 1 and have been very happy with this product. I have only had the need to repair one magazine over the past several years and found that they are easy to repair if you need to do that. One of my mags had a spring that was a little on the 'weak' side to advance the last pellet for firing. I disassembled the magazine and drilled one new anchor hole to allow the spring to wind a tad farther, which allowed the pellet rotation to advance the last pellet with more force. Problem solved. I ordered these 2 magazines in advance of my order for a .22 cal Gauntlet 2, which won't be out until late next month. I have enough confidence in the design to have ordered in advance of my need for the .22 cal version of this item. I think you will find that this is a solid design and do long service.

Well made for plastic.

Fits perfectly and does not distort the shape of the pellets

Nothing

I round off the edges of each chamber for a smoother transfer from the mag to the chamber

Works like a charm on the Umarex Origin, though it is a tight fit. Shows the number of pellets left in the magazine. The 'open bolt' feature when the magazine is empty.

Better workmanship on the plastic parts. Many pellet skirts will 'stick' on the flashing left over from the manufacturing process in many 'coves' of the multi-fingered top piece of the magazine. More importantly, there is flashing on the exit hole to the barrel, and that flashing scrapes the pellets before they enter the barrel! Please, please, please clean that up!

I followed Hajimoto's advise and filed-off (very carefully) all the flashing I could see on each 'cove' of the multi-fingered part of the magazine and at the exit hole. After that little bit of TLC, both 'loading' the magazine and 'feeding' pellets into the airgun is decidely smoother.

I have 6 of these for my Avenger. Now that I know how to load this mag. (The manual was confusing), I can rely upon engaging the pellets in the chamber without any jamming.

Be more specific in the manual on the loading process.

I had to figure out which end was which as the instruction manual for loading was not very clear. I determined the loading based upon how this is mounted on the Avenger.

When it works, I really love it, but I ordered 2 extras, and after about 200 rounds only one now works (out of three). I have to order more or I will have to use it as a single-shot. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Send loading instructions with magazines.

Is there a restriction on types of ammunition?

just what i ordered

spring was weak in one did not advance the pellet

These magazines are sturdy and reliable when correctly loaded.

Easy to load and use.
