I aired my raptor .30 cal and I had a slow leak, at first i though it was from the gauges but i removed the breech and i can hear the air coming out from the transfer port, I think the valve is not sealing properly, any ideas on how I can stop the leak ??

Not sure many members that have obtained this gun have yet taken it apart to answer that question. Your best option may be to contact JSAR themselves.

Yes, I'd contact JSAR. Jacob is trying real hard to catch up on orders. He did send me my free adjustable regulator, and a part for a magazine, just a week or so ago. Also you might just shoot it, "a lot" and let things settle/seat, etc. etc. It may work itself out. Kinda like breaking in a new engine. They may cough, snort, and blow smoke at first, but after things seat in, all's good. I fear JSAR's response will be to return the rifle, and with things the way they are currently, I don't think I'd want my rifle out circulating in the mail.

There is a Raptor disassembly video on youtube that may help you with that. Find out what size o rings to get and go for it. Then tell us what it was so if we have the same problem we'll know what to do
Thanks.Upvote 0
if its comming out the transfer port i dont think its the o rings , like the guy before me said ; shoot 50 shots and see if that helps , you didnt cock and shoot it without any air pressure did you?

Pending HOW LONG you have had the rifle ? The poppet and seat design had a rework @ Jan/Feb of 2020. If yours predates this you need to get the new poppet and seat from JSAR and change it out.
If gun is only a month or so old ... likely the poppet needs to only be spun against the seat a couple time to better burnish it in. ( valve has to be out of gun to do this using a cordless drill to spin the poppet stem while applying pull back pressure against the seat.

mr. motorhead, when is jsar thinking of producing more balanced valves - tubes and nylon hammers?

Yes sir, I received my raptor only a few weeks ago, all o ring look good I check them all, but I will try that I just dont want to send my gun away right now besides I know jsar is busy right now catching up on orders , so I will try that first and hope it works

Very surprising to hear of a leak from the poppet. I received mine in February and have degassed it twice to mess with the shims in the reg. Both times it aired up just fine, no leaks ever.

I'm glad your raptor is doing well, I really like mine and it shoots hard with very little effort but yeah that's my only problem with it

Wish me luck.
Seat and poppet is just a running change and not a warranty retrofit unless there is a problem with original seat. As too the adjustable regulator ... you paid for it and have every right to receive one. Hound em !!!

Update on my raptor, this was the solution to the problem, when i used this method couple times, the brass part now looks very polished and it seals air perfectly

Good to hear ... chasing leaks at o-rings is one thing but leaks at valve seat are bit more challenging.
