I will follow this for a while to see if the rest gets resolved. A new model/generation sounds interesting.Thanks guys.It's resolved, the guns arrive aired up and working. The issues are old news now. Order one after talking with Joe and send it back on his dime if it doesn't live up to this "fan-boys" hype. 😁

My DAR has been perfect. No leaks whatsoever, bought before DAR started going through and replacing o-rings. Should I bother getting it "updated" either by swapping o-rings and polishing the poppet end myself or sending it back to DAR? I think having a kit of correct o-rings on hand is fine so maybe I'll give them a call.Does anybody make an aftermarket cocking lever with a vertical bar at the end to make it easier to grab? That, and the chunkiness of the stock, are my only real complaints. Otherwise I've been very happy with mine.
Dan and David, thanks for the info, part of the reason I'm making sure the Gen II is ready for prime time is my brother wants one too. I don't want to be responsible for trying to maintain two DARs, or more, for the rest of my life. LOL. I will talk with him and if all is a GO I will order a couple DARs soon. Probably in .22.Thanks AgainJerry

Probably in .22.Thanks AgainJerryThe .22 has a wide power band if you want to open it up and tweak the regulator but in stock configuration, I can get almost 50 shots at 850 FPS and have them hit within a quarter size all day long.Mind you, this is with CPHP's at 1.2 cents each and right now, they seem to be coming back to Wally-Worlds in pretty good stock. I use mine for pesting, targets, plinking, trigger control exercises and LRS exercises for 2 legged pests. This platform allows an affordable and durable field system for hunting as well. Perfect? By no means. That said, none are perfect. You choose your comfort level but at $300 delivered, is there even a choice? I have a .177 on the road right now to round my clutch out and if I am honest with you, the .25 with a 46gr slug, is my go-to for large pests.
What are LRS Exercises?

I have a 177 and that's my go to for pesting around the house. I did change out the factory hammer spring as the stock one was a bit to stiff and didn't have much adjustment in FPS from all the way backed out to turned all the way in. I'm shooting the FX 13gr out to 50yrs with great results. Also loves the JSB 10gr.
That's funny I just did nearly the exact thing. I just don't enjoy shooting my Gauntlet that much, so I ordered the DAR to use up the thousands of cheap .177 pellets I have. But to be honest I don't really enjoy my Marauder either. There's nothing wrong with either of them, I just find my Avenger way more pleasurable to shoot. I have high hopes for the DAR, I'm going to miss the whack of a .22 but at least it will shoot a little flatter.

Also loves the JSB 10gr.Ed,I was gifted several thousand daisy 177 pellets that were purchased accidentally and bought a Gauntlet to use them up but the gauntlet magazines are so poorly made and the gauntlet bolt is so stiff that I decided I needed to get the DAR in .177 since I knew I could make the lever slide like butter. Thanks for the spring idea, do you have a link?If the DAR can do with Daisy pellets what it does with CPHP's, I'll be one happy camper!

I'll be shooting the rifle this weekend, I'll pull the spring and get you the size. Its a lot like the factory but a bit shorter...
