The reason I am so agitated is that the second barrel shoots my NOE slugs hole in hole.

Well, well, the best of both worlds!

He might be at the Findlay airgun show.
Has anybody found a workable LDC for these guns yet? I like mine but it's way too noisy!I'm going to try to adapt a Crosman baffle system for it but am waiting for some chin muzzle adapters.Apparently I can no longer deal with Flying Dragon either, I emailed him last week about several items I want to purchase (including another gun). He replied the next day stating to call him to get a order together. I've tried calling him several times during the day for over a week now and either get a busy signal or his answering machine. I did reluctantly leave my information earlier in the week, two days later he called but, like usual, I was busy and unable to answer. He didn't even leave a message, I recognized the number from calling it so many "dang" times. I called Mike seven times today alone and find it really hard to believe he's not available during the work day for over a week to make some money.I don't have time to play the call screening/phone tag game so I'm all done with Flying Dragon.
Yes, the barrel is 14mm at the end and has a undercut to 12.6mm diameter about 9mm from the end for the LDC set screw. It reduces to 12mm diameter for the section that goes into the receiver, with undercuts for the o-rings and the three air ports 120 degrees apart on the loading/feeding side of the barrel.
Oh, and I did finally get to talk to Mike on the phone. He certainly is a nice guy and seems to be busy, he even talked me out of buying spare parts from him. I did buy another 120D from him though, lol.

Wayne has 'moved on' to the AEA line but I will be getting my new 705 this week and I will join the club here and keep posting my findings, mods and targets. Thanks for 65 pages of great reading, all!I’m sure you’re right David. I’ve got a 705 in 22 that I’ve put a couple thousand pellets through and had a couple of hiccups but thanks to this thread (and all who have contributed) the necessary fixes were easy peasy. Told a friend of the great deal Mike has on the 25 cal Sentrys and they picked one. Told her about this thread and was thinking of resurrecting it myself but you beat me to it. Enjoy your new 25! If I didn’t have three other 25 calibers guns already I would jump all over that deal… (Still might) The plan is to return my DAR ll to a pellet-pusher again and use the Sentry for slugs only.

Are you shooting slugs with the OEM barrel, or have you changed the barrel? I've just recently picked mine back up, and want to find out what pellets it likes best. Amongst the boat loads of pellets I have, I also have some slugs but have been hesitant to try them.

Amongst the boat loads of pellets I have, I also have some slugs but have been hesitant to try them.The DAR Gen 2 in both .22 and .25 have been sold to buy the Gen 3 versions but they are now choked so slugs don't work in them.The Sentry I got was the last one in the bottom of the stack made on a Friday afternoon right before a major holiday and was junk out of the box with no solution from Mike at FDR other than to send me a second defective barrel. It's in parts now awaiting winter to become a project gun.
