Is there an exploded view and O-Ring list for the DAR .25?

Wayne52 · « **Reply #261 on:** August 24, 2018, 06:57:52 AM »

I haven't seen one yet Bob but Ron was in the process of getting that info from AimSports the last that I heard. I haven't seen Ron posting anything about these guns recently but I know he's got 4 others now that he's in the process of getting working good I think. The way that I came up with the size of the 90duro's was measuring the regulator o rings and coming up with the -117 on "The O-Ring Store" website, I then proceeded to order the 90duro in that size.

Wayne, Thanks. I think that I may take advantage of the Special price on the DAR .25...sounds good.

Go for it Bob! Despite the initial flaws, they are really great air rifles. Very accurate, tons of power and extremely easy to work on!

We are still waiting on an exploded view from the manufacturer.
As for the Orings, we took the bag of spares that comes with the gun, to a local supplier and had them duplicate the kit in both Duro 70 & Duro 90.
(Don't pay attention to the quantity, we made up 5 kits)

Ron, thanks for the O-Ring listing, much appreciated.

Much appreciated for the o ring sizes there Ron. It might be a while before I need any o rings, but do you have any idea which ones are for the breech, I might get some in 90duro for that, I recently replaced mine because when I had the regulator turned up too high on the .25 I blew one right out of it so I matched up on the closest I could get and it seems to be working just fine.

Called Ryan at Aim to see what was going on with some replacement parts to get my 25 working. Operator told me he was unavailable but took a massage. Later got an e-mail from sales manager saying Ryan was no longer with Aim and wants me to return rifle to Aim so they can fix it. Now waiting for return info. Love this gun. Hope they get back to me soon, fix it and ship it back fast. Going to miss her.

Sad to hear Ryan is no longer with Aim sports, he was always very responsive to me. I wonder why he left and who is going to take his place? I bought a .25 just because of his responsiveness and willingness to send parts instead of making me return the air rifle. I hope that’s not the reason he’s no longer there!!!

Wayne52 · « **Reply #269 on:** August 25, 2018, 10:05:46 AM »

I'm wondering where they did get their parts to send to the few that got them, did they rob them from returned guns

There's a lot of things I'm wondering about these guns because I sure do like mine too James.

Wow Ryan is gone ! I hope they get mine back soon Its been gone 10days and no word ether way from aim

Ryan is gone???
That's not good at all!
Ryan understood us far better than anyone else will ever be able to do.
Ryan was our friend.
I've never met him, but we have talked, and he sounded like a young man to me - perhaps in his 20's?
He tried very hard to satisfy everyone, as best his position allowed him to do.
He listened and gave us personal service that is hard to find these days.
That might have been his downfall?
Maybe the company preferred to have a hardliner instead.
I think quite possibly he was let go?
I hope his replacement will be as caring and helpful?

It's going to be interesting to see how things develop over the next couple of weeks. Ryan did a great job at taking care of us, I sure hope that doesn't change now that he's moved on.

At one point he had told me he would be posting on GTA when the Magazines were available, so I thought he may have become a member here. It would be great if he stopped by and let us know what happened...

Wayne52 · « **Reply #273 on:** August 26, 2018, 12:41:55 AM »

Well I'm glad that I didn't order the .22 because without Ryans support a person wouldn't be able to get parts for warranty by the sounds of it. I did send pictures to Ryan to show him the defective parts before he sent me the replacements. It is unusual for a company or mfg to send parts under warranty however I've seen it happen through SPA directly from China before from a fellow member that got a faulty compressor from Mrodair. Another thing that I'm not comfortable with is the fact they won't disclose the name of the manufacturer either. It would be fantastic if we could order parts direct from China for these guns. They wouldn't be able to ship the barrels because of their laws though. SPA won't ship stocks either.

I think that compressor the member repaired is still using his compressor. It is the one that's portable like the Nomad.

It's sad to hear Ryan is gone. Although some here complained about him at times he did seem to follow through for us. The poor guy must have been in total overload though with the number of problems and requests, I just hope we were not instrumental in his leaving. I won't even speculate about how he left without any facts to back it up. I'm very grateful that he came through for me several times including my return and refund from SG. I ordered the LW air tube and super hammer from JSAR and a Huma from Trenier Friday after receiving my refund, now the new wait begins. I will continue to follow this thread as I still feel connected to this whole process, just wish I'd gotten one that continued to work.

I called AimSport today and spoke with them about Ryan's leaving the company and to find out who will be his replacement - for future dealings about warranty repairs for the DAR guns.
I was told that the company is seeking a replacement for Ryan, who left the company for a more lucrative position with another company. Evidently, he left on good terms - strictly a career move. I was also told that Ryan left good notes on his dealings with myself and others, and that hopefully, those notes will help his replacement to continue assisting us in like fashion. Time will tell?

That's great news Bill !!! . . . . I can't remember which caliber that you bought, have you been shooting it much

I haven't been out with my .25 in a while not but I did cast up a boatload of ammo for it this morning, I sorted them also and have the choice pellets from the run ready to start shooting some more. I did get out in the heat with my 177 yesterday for a successful hunting in the dense fog for a couple nice red squirrels. That darned gun is sweet for the stealth and accuracy I must say

deerflyguy · « **Reply #277 on:** August 28, 2018, 12:11:15 AM »

I bought all three calibers!
Haven't shot any of them yet.
I'm w-a-a-a-y behind in shooting my guns.
I have far too many air guns that I haven't shot yet.
