Thought this info might be useful for those who run into the same problem. I took the afternoon off for an appointment, only to have it postponed. To work out my aggravation I figured I would take it out on some cans. I love to watch them dance, ya know? I have a bunch of 47 grain slugs I wanted to get rid of anyway.
After a few shots, the rifle started dumping air. Pulling back the bolt stopped it, but the next shot did the same thing. Figuring perhaps a valve issue, possibly an o-ring, I started to take it down. But when I got it out of the stock, I noticed the front bolt on the trigger group was loose, just barely, but you could wiggle the trigger assembly ever so slightly.
Tightened that bolt and aired it back up... works fine now. Shot about 30 more rounds no problem. I'm gonna have to clean up a bunch of cans though.
Wondering if anyone else ran into this with their Gauntlet, or any other rifle.
