I am going to add this to this thread so people hopefully don't blow the barrel o ring on the mag side out of the barrel .... =

$:-\$

what ever you guys do make sure the cocking lever is shut to the magnet all the way closed , after cocking the gun .... if the gun fires off with the lever pulled back a bit after cocking it can blow the o ring that is in the barrel close to the mag side that seals the pellet probe off .... OH ask me how I know this ....

cause playing around with the trigger adjustments today I did just that blew that o ring out of the barrel , stretched over the probe ,

I put a new one back in after not getting the original o ring back in correctly and tearing it a bit .... so off came the barrel for the second attempt ,and I was successful , if you remove the barrel band put a little bit of silicone grease on the shroud and make sure you remove the end cap cause there is a micro size o ring in the barrel band shroud part .... if you dont lube it all up when taking off or putting it back on - the o ring will try to slide out from under the band as you are trying to position the barrel band ....

Hey Guys
Since several have found out about the barrel band/shroud "O" ring, anyone have a SWAG about the correct size?

As I posted on the 10th, (only 6 shots fired so far).........

When I pulled the shroud/bbl off, I broke that TINY/THIN "O" ring,
I didn't know it was there, so I put her back into her sleeping bag awaiting a new "O" rings.

The spare "O" ring packet that comes with the DAR'S, dose NOT have that "O" ring in it...........

I have an order waiting for the "O" ring store, but can't find that size "O" ring...........

Any SWAG as to the correct size of that shroud "O" ring?

I would love to get her back working in OEM condition............

Tia,
Don

Is it needed? I know the Mrod b/b was loose fitting.

it's a 1mm x20mm ...WICKED thin..
I don't take mine off, I slip it off beyond the end of the reservoir and spin it 180 degrees up so it never leaves the shroud.
I learned the first time through to leave it on.

Thanks guys,

Bill, I don't know, as there is some play between the bracket and shroud...........?

Will
Thanks for that info, I'll add to my "O" ring order.

You too?
I didn't know that little sucker was hiding under there, after I found it, it was TOO late,
RIP little "O" ring....LOL

Thanks,
Don

I remember one time putting an o ring in the b/b on my SynRod... accuracy suffered... just sayin'

I'm happy with the accuracy of my DAR otherwise I might try removing it.

Bill

FWIW, with some rough measurements,
the BB ends up in about in the middle the of the baffle stack, so I don't know, will have to test and see.

I normally turn a Delrin plug to a fairly tight fit inside the shroud/bbl band junction that fits around the bbl.

Tia,
Don

As an interim fix until you get an o-ring, try a thin rubber band for a girl's ponytail.

Get a Harbor freight oring kit. There's a large assortment of orings in the kit.

The barrel band appears to be the same between the gen1 and gen2, and in my notes for the gen1 I measured it to be an M1x20.

I can understand now why Ron did not like the barrel band so much , not that it's horrible , a better way would have been a simple pinch design with a relief cut between the 2 rings and a allen between the air tube pressure gauge fitting ,and shroud to pinch that area tight in between the 2 ... same way XP air guns does them very simple design that works perfect .... no screws digging into parts on the gun like the DAR has on the barrel band to air tube fitting ...

Has anyone hand pumped the DAR Gen 2 ? Haw bad was it ?

nervoustrigger · « **Reply #516 on:** January 10, 2021, 01:08:45 PM »

I hand pump mine. No different than hand pumping any other 3000psi rifle with a similar reservoir size.

I'm only 145lbs and don't find it to be a big deal. But if you go by how some people describe it, it's like moving mountains.

I like to use explosives and let someone else clean up the mess.

I hand pump mine. It's a workout, but I feel the hand-pump will do just fine. It gets harder near the end, but if a partially dis-abled chap like me can do it ...

Advice: Just take your time. If you get tired or sore, just wait a while, or this is where your 21 yr. old son earns his space.

Once you are at the filled mark, enjoy and just try not to shoot it down the gauge too far. That makes it all the easier to fill (totally) again.
