DAR Gen II is now available

[singleshotcajun]

Just got an email from Mike. They have my tube,should have parts for rebuild by midweek and will keep me posted.

Well, it's been well over one month now since they received it and nothing yet, no promised update either. Sent an email yesterday, I figure waiting one month to email them is more than fair. About ready to send the rest of the gun back and ask for a  full refund if something positive does not happen soon. If I could have gotten the right o-rings for the reg I would have fixed it myself,nothing to do now but wait. My patience gets less as my fatigue grows . I am working 12 hour days(which means leaving the house at 0500 and returning at 1930) 13 days on then one day off for the foreseeable future, our refineries where not built for the kind of Winter storm we just got so we are covered up with lots of work and not just in the plant I work in , all the plants on the Texas gulf coast. I am getting too old for this "stuff"

CJ, call Joe. I got the tracking from AIM SPORT INC on Wednesday after calling Joe in customer service again last week. That way you can talk about the issues and solutions for you and your DAR as well.

Good luck, man. I hope you do well.

This may have been asked already but when will there be more rifles in stock? Their website has shown out of stock for a while now.

Charlie, when I talked to Joe last week, he said he had all the parts in stock and they were working through rebuilding the valve O-rings which seemed to be the problem in 85% of the guns. You may want to call him, just use the number on the website and ask for Joe when you get the receptionist. He is very kind, if you go to voicemail just call back in an hour or two.

I'm waiting them out...I have other guns to shoot like my Avenger .22 etc...plus I'll be be getting another rifle soon...They received my DAR Feb 18. (10 working days).

 I know I am appreciating my Umarex Origin. On this crazy shift I'm working I get home around eight and shoot about a dozen shots offhand in my garage every night before going inside the house. Working my springers back in to the rotation as well.

Thanks David. I just got an email from Joe . My tube is now holding air and I have a tracking number.

Glad to here your DAR tube is on the way...I've been busy rotating (shooting) all my air guns plus nailing some squirrels behind my home...I retired from shipbuilding in 2002 and can appreciate the hours you are working. I had to travel...and was in Galveston, Jacksonville and Tampa plus Port Author....not to  mention ST Croix, Puerto Rico. Panama etc.

My DAR .22 decided it no longer wants to hold air !  FUN ! .... NOT !   this will be the last made in China guns that I will buy , I have noticed a lot of people on here with the new DAR guns are having problems with them leaking , it makes me wonder are they using junk o rings ?  or is it bad assembly ... or both ...

Mine started to leak out over night just a couple of days ago. I'm going to try calling them today.

[RDB]

Just not the best o rings i believe.   Put a piece of scotch tape over the reg vent hole anb see if thats where its leaking from.

[Firewalker]

Poppet seat and orings. Hopefully my .25 arrives today.

[Insanity]

Any word on actual oring size for the reg? I replaced them with what I could sorce them locally still leaks out of the hole in the air tube.

[Dan H]

OK I think I have it fixed quick tear down with air tube off showed small leak coming from port hole in the valve , that meant the poppet was leaking to me , so I took the poppet out  inspected it ,and it looked good , then I inspected the valve seat {brass looking} noticed some very faint marks at sealing point ... so I polished it with 2000 grit paper , and tested it in a glass of water ... .... NO LEAKS ! YES ! .... at least for now it appears to be holding air ... crosss the fingers ! ....  ..... i hope i think i just got out of that one quickly ... ...

[crazyhorse1]

Obviously the quality is just not there in the materials...o-rings , poppet etc..I have two rifles that were custom tuned in 2010 that are regulated and still going strong...have not lost any power ...both I have used extensively in FT, Bench rest and hunting... regs are both set at 1900 psi and rifles both take 3000 psi fills.
I know I'm probably overdue for re-sealing but it will not be a big deal.

I can measure my replacement set to get the sizes.

I can measure my replacement set to get the sizes.  It may be the internal rings that are bad, did you replace both sets?

The seat came out easily for you?   What is your opinion of the poppet materials? Is that aluminum or Ti?  Nylon or Delrin?

$300 for this gun. What did your custom guns cost? The compressor cost a hundo more than the gun!
