Daystate New Daystate Delta Wolf, erratic velocity with advanced setting

[Arzrover]

Interesting and puzzling ... the suggestion about sorting might be worth a try ... or different , more consistent pellets. There were a few broken hammer return springs in one batch of rifles. It's worth looking at but unlikely. In my hands, I'd be going over everything to do with the hammer and solenoid connection... checking for loose or contaminated ... It should NOT take 15 shots to settle and if the reg is low enough, first shot out should be right on in Advanced mode ...
So inconsistent pellets or inconsistent hammer are about the only possibilities. The program itself in Advanced mode would be a HIGHLY unlikely source.
Factory mode is a different thing though. Odd that it's more consistent there...

Here is the string of shots this morning. Read it like text left to right, top to bottom. Took about 11 shots before it stabilized and then it got really consistent.

Talked to Shane at AoA regarding the long ramp up before the velocity stabilizes in advanced mode. He suggested putting 5-10 drops of silicone oil into the gun from the vent hole that is on the bottom of the metal part of the receiver behind the grip almost all the way plastic part that houses the computer and display. The hole is an atmospheric vent that connects to a chamber that leads to the valve and some moving part with an o-ring. Apparently this o-ring can get dry and cause the type of issue I am seeing. Did the silicone oil treatment and let the rifle sit muzzle down so the oil would get up to the mechanism. Definitely seeing a marked improvement with it taking 4-5 shot to stabilize. Will see if some shooting gets the lube where it needs to be. If not will try another round of silicone oil. If that doesn’t do it Shane is going to have me send the rifle back and they will pull the valve and lube the o-ring directly.

Working on making my own magazines as the factory price is crazy. Got some CARM magazines and the work great but with the change coming up regarding de minimus tariff ending making the delivered price unknown thought I would make some. First ones were filament printed but the rotation was not as smooth as I wanted. Current pictured version is SLA printed. Runs super smooth but the lid where the hinge pins are is a little delicate. Will do more testing and may try a hybrid with a filament printed lid and the rest SLA. Hardest part was figuring out the mandrel size to wind the spring on. Only bought pieces are the flat head screw that holds the rotating part to the body, the hinge pins, and the magnets.

Glad to see it working itself out. 4-5 shots isn’t bad. Neither of mine fire the first shot of the day to speed when turned on. Usually 1-2 shots. To me is what it is, no big deal. I think part of the issue is this gun is made to run to a wide range of power. Like anything made to do such a thing when you run it at either extreme end of the spectrum it probably won’t be quite as good. Yours is on the very low end of its capabilities so it most likely plays a role.

I think I remember a post one time saying that if you run your reg 5 bar or so higher than what's requested by the rifle it helps with the first shot being better. Can't remember exactly what it was. I think it was in factory mode also.
