Well, guys, I've hit a wall, got home from work today and found my package from the o-ring store, installed the regulator with two new buna-n 90 duro o-rings and I still have a leak at the vent hole in the air tube. I degassed the gun removed the regulator and inspected the o-rings for damage and couldn't see any but it would not hold air. Put two new 90 duro rings on the regulator and this time pushed the regulator in from the opposite end of the air tube, hiss again from the vent hole. Degassed the rifle again, this time tried two urethane duro 90 o-rings on the regulator, aired the rifle up and hiss again from the vent hole. Just contacted Ryan at Aim Sports to see if he has anything to add, but at this point my wife wants me to send it back for a refund and I'm inclined to agree with her. This rifle might be ok to revisit in the future when the bugs have been worked out, but for now, with this one, I think I'm done.

Tom,

It's possible the orings in the regulator may need to be replaced. If that is the case, even if you get new orings for the regulator, it won't be easy to get the regulator back to the original setpoint.

I would bet that the reg comes apart from the bottom, and you can get to the o-ring without changing the adjustment screw

if that o-ring is bad it will leak out of the vent hole

just be careful with the bellevilles and not spill them every where without knowing their assembly order
or just send it back

Wayne, I am going to order some o-rings from the o-ring store. Just wanted to know for sure what to order. I have been using silicone grease from NAPA on my Outlaw, so far so good. But found the Trident on Amazon, going to get some, knowing it is tried and true. Thanks again.

What does the inside of the tube look like?

I just went through fixing leaks through the vent hole on two Air Arms rifles.

On both of them the tubes looked and felt fairly smooth inside. But, I couldn't get them to stop leaking until I really lapped the heck out of them with a cylinder hone. No more visible longitudinal marks left at all...

Tom I feel your pain. Did my last test run on mine today. Aired it up AGAIN this morning, after work when I got home, once again it had leaked down. I haven't even had a chance to shoot this gun, perturbed I said to myself I am going to get a chrony out this thing. So I aired it up and got to run a couple strings across the chrony before it just leaked down then dumped. Can't believe how well the thing was performing before leaking all the air out. It's unfortunate that a gun with so much potential is being held back by horrible workmanship and or quality control, here is what it did before dying and getting boxed up to ship out, guess I had screwed in the regulator some as it was loose when I took it apart, it was right where I was wanting to try it, around 40 ft. lbs., look at the first ten shots, I was impressed, but as I loaded another magazine that's when it gave way:

That's disturbing that you guys are still having problems with your guns even after install the new 90duro o rings, I feel guilty that mine are still both holding air great. I better go check again just to make sure

Well after I wrote the previous I checked them both and they're both still right where I left them

The only thing I can think of would be the internals of the regulator itself and I haven't taken either of my regulators apart.

I ran a brake hone threw my air tube where the regulator sits the second time mine let go. . I will say that the airtube was rough looking with a dental mirror and a good light in the reg area.. I used viton orings and have had 0 leaks . I guess a guy should really look at the regulator and the airtube for sharp edges and make sure the tape like stuff is all removed from the reg grooves

Are these still available anywhere? Don't see them on Sportsman's Guide.

Nope, Aim Sports pulled them from SG and recalled all the current generation models that were in the field. They will have a 2nd generation coming out at some point, probably after the 1st off the year.

I got 2 when they were available and was able to get the parts I needed from Aim Sports to get them working perfectly. There were some initial QC issues with the 1st generation, but Aim Sports really stepped up to the plate and are doing everything in their power to make the needed changes so these will be awesome air guns. I have a 1st generation in .177 and .25 and will be getting a 2nd generation in .22 when they are released.

Gen II could be a very, very good gun at a great price.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #490 on:** September 25, 2018, 11:04:28 PM »

I am more worried about the magazines myself, I already have all three calibers and love em, great guns IMO but like others have said they do need some tinkering.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #491 on:** September 26, 2018, 12:49:04 PM »

No kidding, if they get away from that junk style magazine it would be great.

Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) · « **Reply #492 on:** September 26, 2018, 01:02:14 PM »

I don't want them to get too far away from the current magazine design just yet, not before they offer some for sale so I have a couple spares! It's bad enough the 1st Gen's are already orphans, I don't want to be stuck without some spare magazines!

The thing I especially don't like about them is you can't just take them out and fill them when you want. I've even gone as far as finding a twig to eject the pellets that are in it just to make a full mag.

I received conformation AIM is sending me a new 22 DAR and shipped today Should be interesting!

I'll be following along,

Please report what you find with the new DAR,

I really lucked out finally finding the safety that fell out of my DAR22 yesterday out in the woods, now I just need to figure out what I'm going to use to locate it(plunger/spring and set screw) to get it working good. After getting home yesterday I looked at the pics that I took and it was still in the gun where I took a pic of a squirrel I got so I knew that it had to be somewhere between there and where I discovered it was missing. I made three different eyeball scans for the total of about @hundred yard trips and it took a few slightly different routes to get there but where I finally found it was right by the log that I was sitting on when I discovered it was missing.

Bob Pratl · « **Reply #497 on:** September 28, 2018, 08:01:46 PM »

Wayne, good find. You are either lucky or you have a lot of patience and perseverance.
When I got my DAR 25 I checked all the hardware and found two stripped screws and ended using purple Loctite (low strength) on all of the screws.
Good luck in finding the rest of the missing hardware.

Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) · « **Reply #498 on:** September 28, 2018, 08:48:23 PM »

Wayne, congrats on finding the safety for your DAR22! You must have really good eyesight to spot that tiny piece in the woods! As far as repairs go, at least you have two others to get specs for the missing parts if you can't find those!

Nvreloader · « **Reply #499 on:** September 28, 2018, 09:07:07 PM »

Wayne

You done good.........

From you photo, it appears that that safety part is a slide left/right type?

Is there enough room in the OEM hole for a spring plunger to be inserted or screwed in,
that would provide the pressure to hold/work the safety etc.

Just a thought I had, while looking at the photo.

Tia,
Don
