HEADS UP GUYS:
Please make note that Hajimoto Productions has a lot of items back in stock and ready to go!
If you are looking for more details, head over to the Regulator, Tanks, and Compressor section of the website.https://hajimotoproductions.com/.../parts/regulators-tanks/
Well, guess what people, I can finally resume offering you guys the Ninja Pro V2 Regulator mounted on a 22ci aluminum bottle! So if you have been waiting, now is the time.
All remaining Copper, Silver, Gold, and Turn-Key Gauntlets remaining in stock are on sale! When they are gone they are gone as I make room for the Gauntlet 2 builds.
Head over to the Gauntlet Service Page for details.
Hajimoto Productions finally received the Xisico personal high-pressure compressor order. This is a small lightweight AC/DC compressor that will fill your PCP in minutes. The unit uses synthetic oil (included) and is air-cooled. It can run off your vehicle's battery terminals or use the AC to DC converter.
The unit has an auto shut off feature where you set the desired pressure and when the compressor reaches the set point the pump stops but the cooling fans keep going so the unit has a properly cool-down period. This compressor is designed for the filling of your PCP directly and not intended to fill larger bottles used for in the field recharging. Because it is air cooled, there no buckets of water or grease issues to be concerned with.
I personally abused one of these units for over one year and it was used every single day to fill at least one 13ci bottle every day and that unit is still being used today without issue. Because I build custom regulators the test chamber needs to be filled multiple times per build and this unit was tasked with that job and it never once failed me. It kept me from starting up the large compressor or depleting my large bottles.
The unit comes with everything you need in one box which allows you to be independent and fill your PCP's whenever you want. For the cost of a large carbon fiber tank which you need to hydro test and pay to have filled, this allows you to fill where ever and whenever you want.
Let me know if you have any questions,
I wanted to take a moment and communicate to my customers and followers because there are so many OUT OF STOCK or SOLD OUT items on my site for that last few months.
First and foremost, I am not closing or shutting down Hajimoto Productions. I am at the mercy of suppliers and they are handcuffed by the manufacturers who are not able to get raw materials in their plants to make the items required to produce the parts or complete products I use or sell.
Shipping costs have tripled in the past 4 months as well as aluminum prices. It is a trying time, but I will continue to stay in the game and do all that can to communicate to you all changes that may be coming as soon as I possibly can.
Feel free to contact me directly if you have questions Hajimoto@HajimotoProductions.com.
Thank you

I have said for years that the .22 Gauntlet barrel just does not do well with slugs. I say that from two different perspectives.
One is that the advantages of what slug offers a shooter in terms of ballistics which are not fully realized at 50 yards or less.
Two is just the geometry of a slug means it has more contact area with the bore which equates to more friction and in turn requires more energy to move that slug down the barrel. A stock .22 Gauntlet just does not generate enough power to effectively execute that energy requirement. That doesn't mean there won't be some that show that they shoot slugs out of their Gauntlet no problem but the question is, What is the performance data associated with that launch?
The Gauntlets relatively slow twist rate means that the spin stabilization that a slug depends on can only be achieved by a faster rate of travel down the bore thus spinning the slug faster. We have already established that the power Generation of a .22 Gauntlet is just not quite enough to get that done.
It has been my experience that the manufacturing process of .22 Gauntlet Barrel creates an acceptable pellet barrel. There a couple of reasons why.
One a pellet has a wasp waisted design that makes contact in two separate locations, the head and the skirt and therefore contact area is less and any deep grooves or anomalies imparted in the lead are not linear.
Two a pellet is drag stabilized so by just its design shape and geometry will right a lot of wrongs to a certain degree.
The leadin or chamber area of a Gauntlet .22 barrel is way too shallow in the chamber and also way to steep of a transition into the bore.
Here is a video that shows you exactly what I mean. That is the transfer port you see in the video. As you can see by the very shallow transition step which is literally at the transfer port's edge means you are deeply engaging the rifling before your projectile is even past the transfer port.
Part of what I do in my barrel tuning service is push that shallow leadin deeper into the bore and also stretch out the transition for a smooth loading action.
Now looking at that transition and leadin can you understand how there would be considerable lead deformation and filings produced during the chambering of slug into that bore?
So while there will be some that will show that they are getting great results with slugs, I ask to see some Sub MOA or even MOA groups of these slugs prints. I have tested over 30 .22 caliber slugs in the .22 Gauntlet and have yet to find one that delivers acceptable results at distances that take advantage of the energy retention of a slug.
Starting today and until the end of day February 22, 2021, every .22 caliber Turnkey Package sold will ship with a Ninja Pro V2 Regulator on a Ninja 22 ci tank, and extra magazine!
The Turnkey package includes a lot of extras and modifications that take the Gauntlet to the next level. The complete list of changes are listed below:
All this for only $664.00!
This offer ends when 2/22/2021 ends.
USPS has been experiencing substantial delays in Priority Package deliveries. I am being told that it is due to Covid but somehow if I pay for Express service, Covid doesn't come into play.
Some 3-4 day deliveries have been seeing 12-18 day delivery times. Please know that once you receive the tracking number from Hajimoto Productions and the tracking information shows the package as ACCEPTED BY THE USPS, it is no longer in my control. Don't get me wrong, I will do all that I can to keep you updated on the status of the package's journey but once they have it, its on them.
Because of these unacceptably long delivery times, Hajimoto Productions is now offering FEDEX delivery service as an alternative to our typical USPS service.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate our way through these challenging times.
I have used The Patchworm cleaning kit since its inception and must say there is no easier and more reliable cleaning solution on the market.
The kit is small in size but HUGE in performance. I use it every single day in the shop and in the field. It will be the best less than $20USD you have ever spent, trust me on that.
The patchworm is used by pulling a patch through the barrel rather than pushing it like a conventional solid cleaning rod. Each kit includes a flexible cleaning rod, cleaning head and wet or dry cotton patches.
The PatchWorm Pocket Field Kit (PFK) is made entirely of durable nylon and is designed to pull a clean patch with every stroke. It’s a far more refined alternative to pulling a dirty snake through your barrel.
This universal cleaning kit is so compact, it fits comfortably in a shirt pocket. Standard rifle rods are 36″ long from tip to head (not including the extra “tail” for easy extraction should the rod get stuck for any reason) and will clean up to 28″ barrels.
The rifle version has 8 color-coded cleaning heads:
Hello there airheads! As you know I do not do back orders because it is my believe that if I cannot provide a service right now then I have no business taking your money. This is why I have always paused accepting new orders when the demand gets too high or the turn around time for custom builds/tuning service stretches out beyond 14 days.
That said, I have caught up with the overwhelming rush of orders received during the 2020 Christmas holiday season for custom builds and tuning requests. The moratorium that I enacted on or about December 15th is now lifted and I am once again accepting build and tune orders.
I have a limited supply of .22 Calibers but a fair amount of .25 caliber Gauntlets in stock and ready to built how you want it.
Thank you for your patience and support!
