There has been some conflicting information that has been published regarding the Umarex Gauntlet and its barrel twist rate.
Please let me end all the misinformation that is out there once and for all. Whether we are talking about a Gauntlet 1 or a Gauntlet 2 either in .22 or .25 caliber, all Gauntlets have a right-hand twist of 1:20″ and the barrels are choked. The exception is the Gauntlet 30 Caliber which has a 1:18 twist rate.
I have been told that the Umarex USA has told folks 1:24″ and another G2 owner told me that they read or heard that the twist rate was 1:15″. I am not arguing the truth if it was said or not, I am simply eradicating incorrect information.
Again to be clear, all G1 and G2’s, have a right-hand 1:20″ twist rate. The exception is the Gauntlet 30 Caliber which has a 1:18 twist rate.

I just saw the video I think you’re referencing. I was wondering what in the world he was talking about and coming to see what information you had. Shoot me a call or a text when you have time.

Thanks for providing this info. It made setting Strelok up for my Gauntlet a bit easier.

I had to add the Gauntlet 30 to this story so hopefully, your strelok was being set up for .177, .22, or .25 caliber as the .30 caliber is a 1:18 twist.
