DAR Dynamic .177, .22, & .25 on Clearance at SG

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Sportsman's guide has the DAR Dynamic Air Rifles on clearance for $224.99.  I wonder if they are selling off the rest of the first batch to prepare for the Gen2 that's supposed to be improved upon?

Using code SH2093 it dropped the price to 194.73 on a .25 caliber!

Thanks Paul

But, you just made my next choice of the air rifle a little harder...........LOL   

I want a new AR, I had it narrowed down to these,
A Gauntlet 22, or another Old/new Dan 20 and then up pops the DAR, in 22 cal.

It must be a repeater, except for the Dan, and be scopeable, choices, choices   .

Now, that I have got my feet wet with LL/QB 79, quite a learning experience,
I am not so intimated with a PCP, as I fall off the cliff.  LOL

Don,

If you're comfortable with the QB's then the DAR's will be a walk in the park!  By far the simplest AR I have to work on.  One hex head screw removes the stock, from there you can release the air with a small set screw then unscrew both ends of the air tube and you have ready access to the valve and regulator.  The regulator, hammer spring and trigger are adjustable.  The only thing I find intimidating is the trigger assemble itself since it's part of the mono block and everything is installed from the bottom.  I equate it to building a ship in a bottle, which is why I have not yet attempted to disassemble it to polish the contact surfaces.

Have you checked the bbl/shroud?

I wonder if the bbl/shroud can be changed to make is mouse phart quite?

I am working on a LCD for LL, with new internal baffles, 7 of them,
starlings are getting pretty spooky now. 

Tia,
Don

Don I'll bet Hajimoto could make you some better baffles for the shroud.  My 177 is pretty darned quiet at 25fpe but my 25 is very loud at 60fpe.  I'm getting 34 shots on the regulator with the 177 but I could probably tweek it some more or maybe open the port and do a tad bit better.

[Wayne52]

Actually you could make an LCD that replaces the end cap and you'd be all set, this gun wouldn't be that hard to make an LDC, finding the right thread might be a challenge but I'm sure it's metric.

[Wayne52]

I'm curious about the port size of the .22 if anyone has that info I'd greatly appreciate it.  I know that the 25 there's no sense opening it anymore than it is but the .177 is .133 so opening that up .017 would put you right at 85% of the bore.

Be careful yall, was just reading their satisfaction guarantee and it does not include items that are a special buy, if you get a bad one you may be stuck with it. You will have to rely on Aim for any parts or warranty but SG washes their hands of it if on a special buy. Just sayin.

[WeaselCat]

My recent experience with SG on airguns is that they will not accept returns unless the wrong item was shipped. Any defects must be handled through the manufacturers warranty.

SG has also started to apply Ohio sales tax. They charge an extra tax on shipping as well.

 Best to buy 3 for parts etc 

[Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58)]

Well, so far Aim Sports has been pretty responsive to me needs and my .177 is now working perfectly. I’m willing to take that chance on the .25 knowing going in that at a minimum I’ll be replacing the o-rings. Even with what I’ll need to do on my end, I still feel this is a pretty good deal!

I’m with Wayne, I think just adding a LDC in place of the end cap would do the trick and it still would not be too long.  I have a friend in Serbia who can custom machine an adapter, I'll have to get some measurements and send them to him and see what he can do.  I don't necessarily need it for the .177, but it would be nice on the .25 I have coming.

So I bit. Got a 25 coming.

Billy if you haven't been reading all the threads about this gun I suggest you do because you will more than likely be wanting to know ahead of time all the quirks of these new guns.

LOL!  At a minimum get you some #117 Dura90 o-rings to have on hand, you'll need those for the regulator! 

[WeaselCat]

I'm on the verge of getting a .177. Even with the known issues. If I have read correctly, the 177 has a faster rifling twist than normal and should stabilize heavier pellets. Ability to accurately shoot 13 to 16 grains around 900fps would be awesome.

I have mine shooting 15 grain H&N Sniper Magnums at an average 859.38 fps with an average fpe of 24.60.  I can also get between 3-4 magazines before coming off the regulator, so that's around 40-50 good shots.

[WeaselCat]

 You talked me into it. Ordered a 177. Now to order some o rings.

[nervoustrigger]

I went ahead and ordered a .25.  After all, I shoot a .25 cal about 1% of the time so it made perfect sense.

I've read all the posts with great interest, especially yours. I've been playing with airguns for fifty years and this looks like a fun one. I have a lathe and mill...rohmpm is Rohm Performance Machine.
