Air tube came in yesterday. Tube had 1800 PSI in it. These days I have about two hours from when I get home to eat shower, shave and go to bed. Could not stand it had to the install the air tube. One shot and leaking out the barrel slowly, another it got slower, one more and all the air in the tube leaked out. Yep Poppet valve seal . I'll be off Sunday after working thirteen twelve hour days then back to another thirteen twelves on Monday. I will fiddle with it a bit on Sunday but right now I am pretty disgusted with it.
When mine leaked from the reg vent. It was the small oring on the end of the reg adjustment screw. I replaced it with a 006 oring and hasn't leaked since.
.....NO MORE CHEAP CHINA GUNS FOR ME ! .... I learned my lesson Avenger was the first , DAR was the second , and I will not go for 3rd's ....
I really wish I had not bought these cheap china made DAR guns... they delivered us guns that leaked ! with bad o rings ,and with NO o ring kits for replacement for sale ... Joe told me the guns sat in a warehouse for a year before they were sold , so they wore out the o rings he said ended their life expectancy -he said .... NOW does this sound like someone that has even a clue as to what he is talking about .... NO ! .... This company is the absolute worst I have delt with in over 20 years of shooting PCP'S they DAR lost my order on my guns for 2 weeks when i purchased my 2 guns new , they should of never got into the air gun bizz they are not responsible enough to run a company like this ... and now we are paying the price ... I did get my gun to seal up last night but now the reg does not work correctly , I used a o ring in it on the shaft that holds the washers that little one , I used one a bit larger that we use on the shoe box compressor and it was pretty tight to get in almost didn't make it but now the gun shoots like its not regulated , so i guess I have to tear down this china made disaster again , take another shot at it ,and or just ship the air tube ,and guts back to AIM /DAR , and cross my finger beyond hope that these people send me some thing back to get this gun working correctly so I can sell it off ! so I don't have to deal with this mistake anymore ... NO MORE CHEAP CHINA GUNS FOR ME ! .... I learned my lesson Avenger was the first , DAR was the second , and I will not go for 3rd's ....

Dan I think with quality 0-rings and mod to reg this rifle can turn out to be a good shooter....I bought a DAR thinking it was built by SPA but I guessed wrong it appears.
Rich .... I don't autocross but I do hit the Drag strip at PIR Portland International Raceway at times and we have the largest weekly car show in the USA there that last for 4 months JUNE -SEPTEMBER .. our record for 1 event was 2300 hot rod cars ,Drag racing is going on at the same time as the car show plus live band playing every week .. lots of fun for sure... ... I have 3 cars I use for this 280 z/ Z28 convertible / Z51 corvette ....I just shipped off my .22 DAR to AIM/DAR.. I left out the stock so it would be cheaper to ship since these guys plus they can test shoot it this way instead of just sending the air tube section of the gun , plus DAR does not send you a shipping label to cover warranty shipping like the good company's do ... ... now lets see how long it takes for them to hopefully get it correct ,and correct the mistakes that were made if that's even possible ... not holding my breath at all with these guys ...

I'll watch for your posts re DAR...Yeah I have two Corvettes...a stick shift (Borg Warner Super T-10) 78 L82 and a 1969 stick shift (Muncie) with a ZZ 502 crate motor...i ran the 78 in autocross and and just tooled around in the 69...wife caught me buying brand new Goodyear Eagle GT's and having them shaved for autocross so had to give that up..quit in 1987...still have both vettes.
