Happy Spring!

Hey, airheads! Well, I have been very getting The Hajimoto Edition Gauntlet ready for the masses. I will be offering the .22 and .25 Calibers in the next 14 days. The price of the HE Gauntlet delivered will be $860.00 USD and will inclusive of every Hajimoto Productions add-on including a genuine competition grade 2 stage trigger and 1/2" x 20 UNF adapter for any LDC/Moderator to be added! Just in case you forgot what she'll look like, here's a reminder. cropped-H_EDITION-35header.jpeg I have been adjusting the .25 Super Tune Kit and experimenting with 1700PSI to 2400PSI builds with some very interesting results. I have developed an HP Air Stripper for the Evanix Series of airguns and am in development with ATI items to support addition adjustability and tuning without comprising existing systems. I presented an accuracy challenge that I call the "Umarex Gauntlet Tack Driver Challenge", Where I challenge you to place a 2x4 at a minimum of 35 yards and drive a 2-1/2" Cement Fluted Nail until the point exits the back of the 2x4. The object is to drive the nail into the wood until the head is flush with the surface of the wood. Concrete Fluted Nail Think you can do it?  Prove it like this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGExue6FhbM

STK’s Back in Stock. New Stripper Designs for Evanix and ATI

by Hajimoto
Hey guys, STK's are now back in stock including .25 Caliber units! I am also once again accepting orders for sales and tuning of your rifles. For you Evanix and ATI/Seneca guys take note I am offering my HP Air Stripper and HP Baffle Stacks.  I call these kits "Stripper Stack Paks". The ATI Liberty greatly benefits from my Pak and the Evanix Air Speed has a much more tame discharge after the installation of my designs.

Hey Guys and Gal! Well, I finally got caught up with the 200 plus piece order and the 23 rifle tunes that absolutely buried me for over 1.5 months straight. Since we spoke last the US Postal Service has increased its rates and you may notice a bump in rates in my services and parts to cover the cost. In some cases, my typical shipping cost increased by 12%. We have all the parts in motion for the Gauntlet .25 Super Tune Kit. The kit should be in stock and available in 4 weeks or so. Be sure to keep checking here for inventory availability. The Hajimoto Edition Gauntlet is still moving forward but I am running into production chain issues associated with available inventory. The Gauntlet is selling out so fast that inventory is hard to keep up with. I am getting closer to a delivered to the customer price and it is looking like the rifle will end up in the $800 range. I am not sure what interest there will be for a Gauntlet in that price range. The reason the Gauntlet is such a popular rifle is that it is low priced PCP but when all the labor,  parts and shipping costs are added, the rifle quickly becomes a medium to medium-high PCP. Be sure to visit my News page on the website Hajimoto Productions for the most recent happenings. Hajimoto

12/10/2019 to 12/18/2019 Update

by Hajimoto
It is December 10, 2018 and large distributors are announcing the shipping of the highly anticipated Gauntlet .25 Caliber. We will see if this is true and look forward to confirming that initial units are not majorly revised from the early production units we've all seen. Once the released versions have been confirmed, we will begin mocking up all the mod packages currently available for the .177 and .22 Gauntlets. Check in here for the latest news as it relates to the Barrel Bands, Baffle Stacks, Air Strippers and Super Tune Kits for the .25.  I will revise this news story when there is a change to report. Please be advised that it will be a few weeks easy as I have to be sure Umarex does not make any major changes. UPDATE 12/19/2018 Folks are starting to get their .25 Gauntlets in and I have still some distance to go before I have a lot of power adjustments complete. That said, I do have all my HP MODS like the Air Stripper, Baffle Stack and Barrel Bands ready to go for the .25 caliber Gauntlet.  Just find your way to the Gauntlet Parts page if you're interested in purchasing any of them. The power adjuster will be coming soon, I will keep you all posted here! Thanks guys and shoot safe! Hajimoto
