DAR Gen II is now available

[RDB]

Curious, have any of you measured the depth of the poppet spring retaining nut before unscrewing it. Mine was at .100” deep . When I reassembled I went .200” deep and I think that helped seal my rifle. Found a balance with the striker spring and shooting very consistent and not leaking. Just wondering what the average factory setting is and what you guys are doing.

If memory serves....i think mine was at 5mm. Which is close to where you're  at.  You can turn it in too far to where you'll put the spring in a coil bind situation depending on how hard your whacking the valve.  I dont think your close to that at .2

I called Dar a few days ago . they told me again they would send the gun back ,and I was told I would get at least , and email on Friday , and I got nothing on Friday ...

Dan when I talked with Joe@aimsports he said that he's recently been very busy getting things straightened out with the valve body part that the bleed screw is in and that it might take a while before he's able to ship one to me.  In the meantime I'll continue using my tried and true Xisico Sentry's.  I know one thing is I have way too many guns these days and have plenty to shoot.

Thanks Rod, good to know. The spring tension at .100” seemed way too weak to me and this is where it was after coming back from Aim sports for warranty repair. My shots are so consistent now it would take air loss for me to  make internal adjustments . Next time I am into it I may increase the regulator pressure if anything.

Incase you guys are still waiting on parts or replacements, I recieved a shipping notification from Joe on Friday for a new air tube I've been waiting on. It looks like he's trying to get caught up with everyone.

Yep I get it , I was told about 2 weeks ago he was going to send the gun out the fallowing day with new air tube assembly ...

David that is a very good method...just count rotations in 12" as you pull it out. Good one.

Incoming PM.

I counted the distance the right rod/patch traveled over 1 complete turn.

1 rotation in 16 inches. 

What is the 12" measurement for?

David

Was this for your 22 cal or 25 cal bbl?

Don thank you !  ...  for letting me know on that tracking number on my gun being shipped , it matches up with the one joe sent me this morning , now we just have to make sure he is sending you the o rings to your address { I really hope so }  if they some how turn up here .... send me your address and i will ship them off to you ,but hope fully they sent them to you , 

question = did they send you a complete o ring kit for the gun the duro 90 stuff ?  cause I need to get one , and go threw my .25 it hold's air perfect but I do not trust it , but love that gun , it shoots my NOE  26g fantastic  .... it's looking like they are going to have that last 5 percent of the gun corrected = o ring's ,and poppet sealing surface fixed which is good news for all of us , and them . ... because it is to good of plat form to let this kind of stuff mess things up
