Following- I have a .25 DAR that after pulling lever back and push forward then pull trigger now only makes a clank noise- will not fire. Have not had apart let but may try- spoke to Joe and he said if I pay to ship back to him he will look at it. Bought it used.
rkrr, my guess is the poppet shattered. Same thing happened to my gen 1 rifle.The back half of the poppet broke away but the stem was still sealed to the remaining portion, thus it did not leak.
One thing always bugged me about the DAR, only one action screw and my air tube was not floated. I finally did something about it. Friday I bedded the action on my Suhl 150 .22LR olympic style rifle. I always waste some Belzona metal epoxy when I do one so I prepped the DAR. Hogged out the fore end plugged cracks,creases and holes in the receiver with modeling clay then painted it with grease. Both jobs turned out great. Wish I had took pictures but I almost never take time to do it. The DAR now has 90% contact receiver to stock out to the flange of the air chamber and the air tube is floated. Got a little hairy removing it after a twenty-four hour cure, love taps with a rubber mallet to the trigger guard got it out. Before it shot Crosman domes better than CHPS but I get no fliers with them now and the shot cycle sounds “right”.
I got a present from Aimsports yesterday (thank you Joe), there were 2 .177 barrels for me to try out since my current barrel is such a stinker! I did the swap but the shots are erratic and it sounds as if there isn't enough hammer to get the poppet off the seat after the first 5 or so. I am thinking regulator now since the hammer spring nut isn't making any difference to the shot. I'll pull it all apart tonight and will update you all on the issue and repair. P.S. The barrel bores look much better than the one it came with but it still took dozens of patches to get the barrel "clean". I am going to take a guess that the stem is wonky and wont push or the regulator has locked up.

Danke! I'll be looking at 5 thou clearance for the float but I'll keep it off the air tube all together unless the groups don't change. I can do the dollar bill trick that way in the summer to check wood warpage.
Hello nervoustrigger and firewalker. Hope you have a nice Holiday. Took original air tube out and looks ok. Install spare tube and still does the same. Clunk noise when pull trigger and feel small puff of air oud back of receiver by lever. Also now at times will not engage hammer when pull lever need to pull several times. Both valve stems look fine no mushrooming on ends- brass guide is in flush. Spoke to Joe at DAR and he said may be bolt for hammer loose but need to remove trigger assembly to get to it. Have you had this apart and do you know if there is any info on how to remove trigger? Any and all help and suggestions are appreciated. Thank you
Both tubes I can tap the stem and it will release air. Both stems stick out the same. I dont think the hammer comes forward far enough to strike the stem. Do you know of any trigger disassembly videos?
Wil do. Thank you
