A couple of weeks ago I posted that my Gen 3 0.22 cal DAR suddenly lost about 250 fps of velocity. I returned that gun to Aim Sports for a replacement. The new gun arrived today and I just shot a 55 shot string of 14.3 gr CPHPs. I got about 50 good shots from about 3000 psi down to 1500 psi before the velocity started to drop. The 50 shots were all between 900 to 940 fps. So it appears the reg is working. Now to see if it holds air and the reg continues to work. Fingers crossed!

I'm very surprised that they are even doing warranty work. Since they canned Chris, I thought they had shut down CS.

A 40 fps spread seems like the reg isn't working. The point of a reg is to keep the shot string more consistent, like with 3-5 fps per shot is more optimal. Sounds like a curve string which is typical of a non regulated gun.

From the reviews I have read, it sounds about right? They say to expect about 30 full power shots per fill?

I think it's about right for a DAR. It's much better than my Gen 3 0.25 DAR which has a 250 fps spread!! That one will also be going back.

it's got to be an O-ring issue in the regulator, not lubed properly from factory or bad O-rings from the start, or it's a bad Breach seal, I
recommend getting a refund or swap for a different gun,

I installed the Huma reg over a year ago and zero problems. I did put new orings in the old reg just to have in case I ever needed it. I found one oring inside that was falling apart so I'm sure that was my problemUPDATE- The new gun has now done the same thing....suddenly lost 255 fps in velocity.
