Tom glad you finally got a response. I have heard nothing.

I e-mailed him this morning and sent the pictures of the gauge to show how much air leaked out over night. Having changed all the o-rings with no fix, I wonder if these have a bad batch of regulators and those need to be replaced with some that hold air. I guess I need to do a leak test on the vent hole and see if that where it's leaking. Although I am getting tired of spending more time tinkering with it then I am actually shooting it!

Ok guys, here's what's happening, I just spoke with Ryan and they are going to ship me a new air tube, regulator, barrel band, and barrel with a shroud to replace the ones giving me trouble. They do have a tolerance issue on some air tubes, and are beefing up the barrel band with US screws for future rifles. Ryan said anyone with questions or problems feel free to call him by phone at 909-923-2228 ext 125 and he will be happy to speak to you. Tom

Wow Tom they're sending you a boatload of stuff, very cool

I don't have long distance myself unless I put some time on a dollar store phone that I have, If I can't get him by email I'll go put some money on that dollar general phone I've got for emergencies

Got an email from Ryan too. Gave me his number to discuss my problems. If the new air tubes and regulator fixes my rifle I would be ok with that. I just want a working rifle. So far haven't gotten through to him.

Talked to Ryan, sending me a new regulator with o rings. Tells me they are having tolerance issues with regulator, tubes have been consistent, hmmmm. If it fixes it I will be happy, if not I'll be calling again again again.

Both of mine seem to be sealed fine, about the only thing I need is a new barrel band for the 25. I was out shooting the 177 again yesterday, that thing is really accurate too. Today I cast up 170 each of the hollow point and the flat nose 25 cal bbt's, I'll be headed out tomorrow morning to see how the hollow points are shooting from the 25, I'll bet they do good but I'll find out for sure in the morning.

+1 Way cool that they are responding and working hard to help resolve the issues!

Nice to know they back up their merchandise...won't mind when they start selling refurbs at discounted price. 🙃

Well, I haven’t heard from Ryan and when I tried calling him it went to voice mail, which was full, so I couldn’t leave him a message! I guess I will continue to wait patiently for him to call me...

Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) · « **Reply #112 on:** August 08, 2018, 06:52:14 PM »

Well, just got off the phone with Ryan, he’s sending me a new set of o-rings to try. If that doesn’t work then he wants me to send him the entire rifle and they will tear it down and see why it refuses to hold air.

kingrude1 · « **Reply #113 on:** August 08, 2018, 06:53:09 PM »

Paul sorry to hear you didn't get through to Ryan. I kept trying and finally left a message on his answering machine and he actually called me back twice, getting me on the second call. He said he's swamped on the phone trying to fix problems, of which I have no doubts.

He offered me the o rings first but I told him I had tried the duro 90s he has and it still wouldn't hold air, that's when he said he would send me another regulator.

You must have gotten the last spare regulator! I told him I had started with the o-rings that came with it, then went to the Dura70’s and currently have the Dura90’s on the regulator and both ends of the air tube! He did agree to send me a complete set of o-rings so I can swap them all out and then go from there. If that doesn’t fix it then he wants me to send it back so they can see where it’s leaking.

I also explained how I had tested for leaks everywhere I could think of and found no evidence of a leak, yet it continues to lose air at a rate of 10 - 20 Bar per hour. I had sent him the pictures showing where it had lost 70 Bar overnight.

He does want to get to the bottom of the problem and assured me if they can’t fix it they will replace it, so I’m going to stick with it and see what happens.

Sounds to me like Aim Sports is stepping up to the plate in a very unfortunate situation.
Patience will be a virtue here. They didn't expect to have these issues either.

Since I agree to try and new regulator, when I got home decided to disassemble the gun again. Replaced o rings on each end of tube with the 70s and the regulator with the 90s, this time taking the valve out of the block so I could have the whole assembly in my hand to search better for leaks. Aired it up and this is what I found. Any thoughts on what has gone wrong?

The poppet is not seating properly.

Can anything be done with this other than replace valve?
