There's been word drops here and there on the forum so we should figure out what we want to do...
This Gauntlet can be wide open, different class of airgun and we go for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each class. Voting method will have to be figured out at a later date.
People's Choice?
Honorable Mention?
Classes ?
CO2
Bulk Fill
Pumper
Carbine
Set a date for the showing ?
I was thinking September. That gives all the builders time to gather parts and still have a nice summer.
Let's get some input and get it going :D
I'm halfway done with mine 8)
All of the above!!!!^^^^^^
Hmm, gots to cogitate on that a little bit. Not sure we have enough that would participate to have more than one class at a time. But then we certainly don't want to discriminate against anyone.
Need to mull it over a bit before I can make a recommendation. And we definitely need to come up with a fail proof, reliable voting idea.
Carl
I like the way it was. Leaves room for everyone that wants to play and also opens the creative juices to not be stymied by having to build only one type of shooter. Just me.
Rich
With a deadline of September I may be able to throw something together got a couple ideas rattling around sounds good to me. :-*

I am not sure I am even going to be able to get into this... but I tend to agree with Rich here. I think part of the charm and fun for everyone the last time... was that it was wide open to what ever their minds eye, parts, and desires were for them. Seemed to make the camaraderie of it more genuine, and the poking at each other funner. Just saying is all. Kinda feel like I should stay out of it, as I am not sure I will be building something for it even. Just my 2¢
Wide open is my choice, bling, tactical, whatever you want to build.
For me it should be a no holds barred new project full custom build off then at least everyone knows the score from the outset. I found it hard to compare genuine spare parts builds with full on customs jobbies. Mine in particular was an almost complete gun, albeit it was in spares and is again now awaiting new parts.
If there are enough entries then maybe after the winner there maybe class winners ie carbines, pistols, pumpers, innovation, old school etc..
If September is the target date, since we are all "friends" here, lets just see how many sign on between now and then... and go ahead and at least say whether you are doing a pumper or CO2. That number of brothers and by type will tell us whether or not to make it one category or more.
As for voting, winning, placing, showing and all that: Either way as far I am am concerned, because I am not concerned. If the goal was to win, then I would build what I am certain would impress this wonderful bunch. But that is not what I plan to build. I am going to do new things every time and do not want to second guess myself over whether it would win or not. If I did a green paisley grip (I'm not) and coated the thing zombie green... make it shoot .22 cal green gelcaps... and named it "Mucinex", then it is what it is without regard to established wow factor.
I truly enjoyed seeing all the entries. Like everyone else, I had a mental vote and ranking. But they were all good and worthwhile. I would not want to list the ranking from top to bottom publicly because it would send the wrong message to the ones not on top or even mentioned. Again, they were all good and worthwhile.
If you do vote and post the "winners", then be sure and get the vote for how many places you are going to go for. My years as a quality engineer and regular user of statistics still has me wondering how you can get one vote per person from such a small population and then post three levels for two categories. And if anybody voted for themselves, then that is really whack to the max beyond Thunderdome as far as skewing the data and its interpretation.
I need to go to sleep now. ;D
So is September first the deadline ???
I also like how the recent Gaunlet was presented.
But since my spare parts are still being held hostage by JA I plan to submit my imaginary build. It will be very low power, long barrel in 50 cal for applying Preparation H to hard to reach areas.
It seems that so far a wide open format as before is preferred.
7 yeas and 1 undecided
For the date of 1 September to show by is hard to read.
5 yeas
I like September, it gives me time to gather some goodies ;)

x1 i agree leave it wide open. As far as voteing i really don't care if i win or not it was a lot of fun and a got a chance to see some beaautiful work done by my fellow members. As it was said before we're all winners.
Mike
I say have it open with at least one Crosman part of some kind on it. I like seeing all the variety of ideas that comes from a open contest.
As for voting when it is all done make a list of all the people in the contest and number them 1,2,3,4 ect. Then post The voting rules and list and lock the thread. Then forum members will pick the one they like and PM someone that is chosen to tallie the votes. Have a time limit on voting say like a week after the contest ends. When the time is up the most with the votes wins first and so on down the line.

I agree with wide open and September is a good month. Count me in. :-*
Carl
I myself like the "wide open" concept as each member can build what THEY want, not what somebody else imposes on them. For example, I like HPA (regulated or not), therefore don't really want to have to build a 1377 or 2289 pumper in order to qualify. Same can be said for other members who want to do the opposite of me... :-*
With the nice weather coming and people getting out more and doing spring cleanup, "summer activities" etc, I think the September 1st deadline is a good idea. Plenty of time for everyone to get their entries ready. With the extra time alotted, could possibly get more entries too - which means more eye-candy for all of us to drool over...always a good thing! 8)
Todd
Yepper, I got a really cool idea. Only thing Crosman is the trigger. ;D So I am thinking it is eligible.
Carl
I just want to keep it fair to all members some may not have the money to go out and buy new stuff so lets keep that in mind. Maybe we can have a poor mans category or no custom parts category something like that.

How about a WITHIN THE ASIA Gauntlet contest :P..I wish I could get them parts as easy as you can gents but no it's not the case :(
There is a guy over in the Philippines that has been making some dynamite 2240 knockoffs!! I mean awesome stuff!! I wish I could get my little arthritic fingers on some of those parts!! I have seen them over on the green and recently on the Yellow. Quite a talented metalworker.
And Carl? Uhhh.......NO NO NO........you can not enter that behemoth! But you could send it to me for some further testing :D

Wide Open, build what you want
Post by 00:59 1 September
6 pictures, one being a target with a 5-shot group
Must have at least one Crosman part
Sounds fair to me I'm in. :-*

I'll buy into this set of guidelines. But we should still say something about voting and get us a volunteer for tallying the votes.

You know Mike was going to ask that same question myself don't know if I will but I might. :) :) :)

OK Carl, let's here some options ???
As a new member here(only a few months) I can't tell you guys how impressed I was with all the builds. And you all did it on short notice. I would have been happy beeing voted last place. I won't be entering the next build, but who knows maybe the third.
Let me offer my service if there is anything I can do to help, I would be more than happy to count votes or anything else I can do. Also I agree with the wide open concept. It gives everybody a chance to do their thing.
I realy enjoyed looking at what you guys did, and I agree with more picts.
Good luck to all,
Jon
Late to the party, but a comment to share. These kind of build offs are fun and the final guns are a blast to see. But these competitions tend to favor people with machining abilities, woodworking skills and/or those who are parts whores hoarders. Having a comfortable 'cash stash' is also very helpful in the process.
At some time, we might want to level the playing field and do a competiton where execution trumps bedazzled beauty. Something like a Dollar Store Build Off where you build an air powered gun with cheap stuff found around the house and from a dollar store. We could still require at least one Crosman part, but the entrants would make or adapt 'things' to make the gun shoot. It reminds me of a science fair demonstration at the White House when President Obama helpd a kid use a bicycle pump to fill his marshmellow shooter that looked like it was made from PVC tubes.
The final product would have to shoot a projectile, say, at least 10 feet, and other criteria we deemed useful. Criteria might include function & form, ability to shoot, total cost (perhaps a budget limit), execution, creativity, etc. This idea could be a total flop, or very enlightening.
Gonna lean with Chef on this, a bit...
I think your looking at it backwards.... Define a purpose for the gun (shooting pidgeons from the 4th floor of a publishers warehouse, minimum and maximum length, everyone's power levels must meet the power levelrestrictions of the folks who live in area where the upper limits are legally defined, International/10meter guns built on a 1377 platform, if the french foreign legion wanted an airgun for desert use, what american cops would carry in their cruisers instead of a shotgun or AR platform, contains parts you made for another competitor and then traded for parts made for you, completly stock-no aftermarkt parts allowed- but can mod what came in the package, if Red Jacket Firearms opened an arigun division based on Crosman 1377... .....) then build toward that. Or maybe only pumpers.... Or barrel length can only be 10 inch, etc etc. Their should be restrictions, but make those the parameters of the build
As far as the contestants with machining skills and tooling having some advantage, yea been burned by that on other contests. Maybe some forum members who have those skills and tools but not in the contest could cut some metal or wood to help even that out. Team builds?
I think the point of the last Gauntlet was to just do it and have fun. That's why it worked. Maybe I'm wrong, but once you start putting all kind of rules in place, the fun goes out of it and I predict that there will not be many entries. I'm probably wrong though.
Just me and maybe I'm a bit of a rebel and non conformist, but I just don't like building within set parameters as a hobby. I have to do that for a living :(
[size=78%] [/size]
Wow, starting to get complicated now but we need the input.
I'm just throwing things out there guys, by know means am I "in charge" of anything. The ultimate decision of what/how/when is up to the members of the forum.
I just want to build some wild crazy air guns :D
I think run what you brung to the race and have fun just my opinion.

Thanks for the support Dan. I was in no way trying to being down the Gauntlet competitions, only interject another viewpoint. I am not going to 'wax philisophical' on the subject any longer. If we are just having fun and everybody is a winner, then the format of Gauntlet 1 works for me.
like Chef, Im not trying to be down. Just dont see how you can call it it a contest or competition without some kinda rule set to judge the entries against.
I even cleaned off a space for the trophy ;)
hehe ok, I'll shut up now :-*

I'm with you on being able to judge something, you first needs ground rules. I guess I came off like a butthead, but that wasn't my intention. Honest it wasn't I Just had such a good time last time around and was able to do some swapping of parts in order to post the pics for an entry. Also, was able to put back together a stock 2240 at the same time. Something I had not had for a long long time.
Whatever the rules turn out to be, I am down with them :-* Count me in!
Rich
Rules wise I was happy with everyone is a winner (except me I came fourth ;D)
An overly competitive rule laden build off to me is against the grain of the CAPOF, I think we all just get on too well.
I like most people appreciated all the entries last time budget builds to all out builds and it was just so much fun to do :-*
I'm with you guys... minimum rules, maximum fun :)
I like seeing the super bright blaze in your eyeballs bling just as much as the basic cleanly built guns.
What do you think about just voting for a "People's Choice" i.e. the most popular gun? I have some old trophies we can use ;D
I like that Idea chongman I like to look at all the different builds on this site. I have my favorites but they are all great in their own way. :)

Yeah, I worried my poor wife half to death sitting at the desk for a couple of hours fiddleing, searching and yes a few cuss words! She kept coming in every 10 minutes telling me I need to take a break and lie down for a bit. ;D ;D
Bahh! I'll rest when I'm dead! Had to finish it....I was possessed....turns out I finished a day early though.
Yeah, it was fun!
Really like Chef's idea of household items being worked into the build, as long as it remains safe. Also like the idea of limited rules. Looking forward to seeing the builds and hopefully a lot of "thinking outside the box" builds :-* Going down to the workshop to dig through my stuff.
Seems like we've pretty much hashed things out?
1. Build what ever you want as long as it has at least one (1) Crosman part on it.
2. Deadline for posting 00:59 1 September 2013.
3. Six (6) pictures, one (1) being a 5 shot group target (annotated with distance and ammo used).
4. "People's Choice" (favorite gun by popular vote).
I have one question about "household item"....
Can I make a mount for a toilet plunger and call it a mono pod? ;D

I agree Carl, probably best not to have a fixed date but instead let Bert drop it on every one at two weeks notice. I liked the panic element of the last one.

Agree wholeheartedly! Even if we let Bert drop the date at a two-week notice (which I also agree with to keep things interesting), we will be somewhat more prepared than last time with extra parts.
Another point I want to be clear on is, should we add a rule to not be able to cannibalize any part from another gun? That 's what kept me from entering last time because I didn't have a tube or valve that wasn't already in a gun. I thought it is understood that it has to be made completely from spare parts but I can't quite tell for sure.
Cheers,

Using that train of thought and to be honest, I had two pistols and swapped parts so I could make a one into a stock 2240 for this month's comps. What I had leftover plus a few parts from the junk drawer made up my entry pistol. My thinking was if a gun is in parts, isn't it now considered parts?
OK Didn't win anyway, but I'll disqualify myself from the last comp. I should have enough parts for my next build though!

That's what most people did Rich, as it is a fun event it shouldn't matter how we do it.
I'm going to finish the stubby off by polishing the original barrel you had on it, minus another inch so the disco site sits flush with the tube. Also a couple other little do dads.

Nah, it will not compete with yours or Carl's. Will be a cross between the two.

Heck... I've even been considering and looking at building a new 10m shooter... this just gives me more reason to do so. Might just not show it off then if I do... until Sept now lol ;)

I would say good to go, i already ordered parts i'm ready bro's. But Brother Chongman should have the finally say it's his idea. Just my two cents that don't add up to much.

I wish the deadline was a bit sooner, September seems sooooo far away.... But I understand why.

Midnight September 1st 2013.

The band has left the field ( big applause for AC/DC for getting everyone fired up!), work benches have been set up with auxiliary lighting and Tina Turner has blown the whistle!
GO at it fellas :-*
If the deadline seems far away and your done early... build another :D
Edit: sometimes I type so fast with two fingers I can't spell!

I'm wasting no candle light here (pages flipping in my build idea notepad...) Ya, two guns is quite possible ;)
hmmmm, does it have to shoot pellets or bb's, I have something else in mind but can't tell ;D
Crazy ideas going through my head but I settled on one :)
You have my attention, do it :-*

I have a theme in mind but figuring out how to shoot what I want to shoot is going to be a challenge. All I can say is Crosman has done something very similiar before, it'll be safe, it'll be cool and that's all I'm going to say :-X

... just as long as you don't have to send it to "filling station" to get it refilled. :) Can you imagine what that must have been like? ???
OK, I'm in, might not be the queen of the ball, but I have more than enough spare parts to put together something fun.

^ Bump :D
It's been awhile so I figured to bump this up and see how things are going. CAPOF has lots of new members that may not know anything about Gauntlet II, the forums "Show & Tell" of the custom air gun/pistol world.
Heard word from BigErn that he was getting things happening down in Florida so so it's time to get busy!
Just so you know, and I'm rubbing it in now... I got my grips in today's mail!
Double bump ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D bling it on!!!
I think BigErn is up to something ! ???

Grips in the mail :o :o
There's new news :o
I thought you were carving a set... that's what you were showing us a while back ;) ???
Something's not right with this picture ;) ;D
The bar just keeps getting higher and higher ;)
Already expected it from BigErn though.............
;D
Ahhh, the Maple grips... Yes, they are "carved" and ready to have a finish applied but I had this set of exotic wood grips on order and I was not sure I would get them in time!

"Exotic" :o :o
Ah geeze... the plot thickens.....
;D
Question??? If I use an existing pistol I have tear it down use some existing parts plus some new parts does this qualify? I don't have the parts for a complete new gun or the funds,means or abilities to make one from scratch.
Yes sir, you sure can :-*
Cool. I just might have to do it then. And it just might have at least one very special part anyways ;)
I hope you guys are doing some Air Gun Magic in your caves and dungeons!
This time I expect it will be serious all out Concours d' Elegance type of event. Remember... there is no box to think outside of, it's a big circle so go all the way around with your ideas ;)
So if I want to enter my mod I post the info and pics on this thread????????? Have patients I'm a newbie
No there is another post in the Gallery. :-* :-* :-*
Here you go :-*
