I received an e-mail from Aim Sports yesterday, they have a new employee who replaced Ryan, his name is Ralph. He offered me the opportunity to purchase a Gen 2 DAR at the price I paid for the Gen 1, once they are released the 2nd quarter of 2019. I will definitely be taking them up on that offer. Looking forward to getting a replacement for my Gen 1 DAR25. Still up in the air about the .177, I may try something different, just because I don't want to wait on that one...

Is there anyone that's keeping their Gen 1's besides me, I think I seen Jason say that he was going to keep his DAR25

I am Wayne, mines a .177 cal.
I must of got lucky
I had to tear into mine once to remove the teflon tape that was under the o-rings and replace them. But it has been holding fine since then ..
I love mine and it's very accurate with JSB monsters! Last time I counted I got about 55 shots @ around 830fps on reg.

It ain't going anywhere! Lol

Rhett once I replaced the o rings on my .177 it's never lost air once since, it's probably been the best one of the three for reliability. Mine also shoots the JSB'S like there's no tomorrow, it's laser accurate.

That is a very nice offer.

Yep, I thought it was very nice considering SG didn’t give me the option. The Gen 2’s should be amazing if they are all the Gen 1’s are with added QC and reliability!

Update-

Dynamic Air Rifles now has a new Customer Service person to replace Ryan.
His name is Ralph.
His email is - customerservice@dynamicairrifles.com

I received the email from SG yesterday in regard to keeping , returning for refund or receiving a new gen 2 and it has to be decided by Dec 1 18
What is every one doing?

Wolverineshooter · « **Reply #646 on:** November 10, 2018, 11:21:34 AM »

Got the same email twice yesterday (because I bought two rifles?). I will exchange.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #647 on:** November 10, 2018, 11:24:16 AM »

That's pretty funny Greg I got three emails from them cause I've got all three calibers lol

Bob Pratl · « **Reply #648 on:** November 10, 2018, 12:33:43 PM »

I just received my email and after looking over the DAR again I decided that I'm still going to keep it because as stated before, I like the platform, design, accuratecy and simplicity of it.
Picking up a GEN II in .22 is in the stars when they are released.

JayV21 · « **Reply #649 on:** November 10, 2018, 12:35:59 PM »

Has anyone tried the DARs with the Piledrivers? Both in .177 and .22?

Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) · « **Reply #650 on:** November 10, 2018, 01:03:45 PM »

I should have waited... SG was clueless when I returned mine.

Aimsports has said in email that they will have the pellet cassettes ready for the gen1 so you should be fine.

Greg that in itself tells me they're not going to completely redesign them. I figure they'll probably put better o rings in them for sure.

Wayne that was my reading as well. I was hoping that they will make some improvement s such as getting a higher pressure air tube.

Bob Pratl · « **Reply #654 on:** November 10, 2018, 07:16:32 PM »

If they don't increase the selling price I can't see how they can improve the design. They have to improve the materials, O-rings and quality control to make it a buyable product.
If they offer a better grade of wood or a adjustable synthetic stock as an option I don't think that anyone would complain if they have to pay more for something that they want.
Either case I will still get a DAR .22 when they are out unless they revert back to an old bolt design with the same name. I will wait and see.

Here's the poppet after about 1000 pellets through the rifle:

Clean break at the bottom of the hole where the stem goes.

The rifle started hissing a few days ago and I was busy so I put it aside. This evening when I took it apart, I didn't yet know where the problem was. I got the cylinder off and the gauge was reading that it had some pressure, maybe 500psi. I tapped the stem with the plastic end of my screwdriver and got a burst of air so I figured I might as well pump it up and see what happens. Well I found out when the pressure got to about 1500psi...the stem ejected and smacked a cabinet and came spinning to a stop on the kitchen floor. Pleased to report that my underwear are no worse for the experience, and the family is still sleeping like the dead.

For anyone wondering, this rifle is fitted with a weaker hammer spring and preload is adjusted to be on the knee of the velocity curve, so the poppet was not getting slammed inordinately hard. I can't really say if it failed because it's an inadequate material or the cross section was too small or what.

I'm going to hunt through my parts box to see if I have an OEM poppet that I can modify to replace it, otherwise I'll make a new one from Delrin or PEEK.

The poppet in my .177 failed the same way. I was shooting it at the time, and after a couple shots, it broke and sounded like a huge fart!

nervoustrigger · « **Reply #657 on:** December 07, 2018, 11:10:17 AM »

Hi Paul, thanks for giving me confirmation it has been known to happen. I didn’t recall hearing about it.

It was really working nicely leading up to when it failed so I’m just glad to now know what happened so I can fix it. Even with my caveman tools it shouldn’t be too bad

Wayne52 · « **Reply #658 on:** December 07, 2018, 11:24:51 AM »

If any of my poppets break I'll be picking you guys brains, especially the cave man tools version of making one.

Gertrude · « **Reply #659 on:** December 07, 2018, 11:43:03 AM »

Fwiw,
Of the (5) .25 cal guns my group of buddies has, 2 of them have broken the poppet the same way. I am fairly confident it is related to the material used for the poppet head.
This is one of the changes I suggested to DAR when I had my long meeting with them.

Thank you to our advertisers!
