DAR Gen II is now available

[Booder98]

It has a cool sci-fi look that's different from a Halo tacticool sci-fi look.  I'd buy a gun that looked like that.

I have 3 thumbhole blanks in the classifieds.

Why yes, you do! Just can't shell out the cash for them.

I wanted to lighten it up a LOT and really thin out that wrist so that I could get a comfortable grip. I just followed the curve of the wrist all around, curving back and forth.

So how much weight came off?

This thread is WAY too long for me to catch up on. Regardless, heard good things about the DAR. They have been out of stock every time I have looked at them. Unfortunately, this will probably not change.

Yes, they are coming, Gen lll is due in May or there about for sale. I'm hoping to have on in hand to do a complete tear-down on and get measurements for all components. I'm not associated with Aimsports or any affiliate and will buy them just like everybody else but I will be "camping" outside the front door hoping to be first in line!

TOTAL Fan-Boy here!!!

The .22 with the standard stock and an Alpha 6 scope weighs 9 pounds exactly, swapping stocks, it weighs in at 8 pounds, 3.4 oz.

A savings of 12.6 oz and more is coming off with a goal of a full pound when all is said and done. The goal is an 8# or less, hunting gun with scope and a full mag.

David, I am a fan as well... but until I see one...I am going to hold off...My .25 is able to pick off dandelions at ~50 yards with no trouble.
I'll be watching VERY intently for the next version.

What do you think of the new stock? Still have a bunch of finishing left. The air tube is completely floated, only touches the receiver.

Very nice.  Was the overall balance of the gun affected much?

Not really, I tried to keep the removal even. The gun is barrel heavy brand new, I would like to add 8oz to the buttstock after I get done with shaping.

I have been working on the .177 lately, getting it dialed in, tightening groups etc, I am at 108 pellets per fill and probably have a little more 'gas' left but 9 full mags is enough for me on a fill going from 3000 to 1500 psi.

10m groups are at .25 center to center and a 100 shot card shows that as well, I would like to trim that down to .177 or less before I am done I am shooting RWS Meisterkugeln 8.2 gr and will switch over to CPHP on the next card to see how they are performing.

The DAR Gen ll is still available... well, there is one in the classifieds if anybody is interested, she is a beaut and shoots 25gr Kings like a dream!

The .177 is coming along well, I will be JB pasting and polishing the bore this week to tweak the groups a little but she is almost ready to shoot the 200/200 targets I was doing with the .22. She really likes CPHP's at 750 fps, higher or lower, she opens up a lot.

Hi, I bought a gen 2 as my first pcp a few months ago after reading through the totality of this long, I long chain (and it was a bit of a roller-coaster of a read).

I'm now looking to get an adapter to put a silencer on it. Anyone now where I can pick one up at and what the sizing is?

By the way I love the gun and am very glad I picked it up. Being my first pcp I don't have much to compare it to but it blows my old break barrel out of the water.

[Ed24]

You can pick up an adapter from DonnyFL for the DAR.

[buylow12]

Thanks, easy enough, just put my order through. I could have sworn I remember people talking about having to special order them but I suppose with the length of this thread that could have been from quite a while ago.

Well, I sold my last DAR Gen 2 rifle, I still have both of my Gen 3 rifles. No regrets, great guns, great accuracy.

What are the differences between Gen II and Gen III versions? I’ve read thru the last 20 pages on this topic hoping someone might have talked about this. I may have missed a post though. I have a Gamo swarm maxxim Gen 2 and have never shot a PCP. It seems like the DAR is quality at an excellent price point for entry into the PCP realm.

Side by side, the G2 & G3 are similar but the G3 has a larger plenum, a new side lever with a vertical handle, a brand new trigger group that is miles ahead of the G2, a 1/2" threaded barrel end (shroud actually) for moderators, picatinny rail for 21st century optics, 8mm QD built in to the air tube and the gauge has been moved from the suicide position to under the forestock.

The barrels are accurate on both the G2 & G3 though the .25 needed a little more polish than the .22 G2 did.

The G3 gun barrels arrived clean and took nearly zero polishing, a very nice change.

Now, put the new JTS Airacuda MAX on the table and look closely, they are virtual clones with just a few differences; second guage on the plenum, screw-in barrel, different segments on the lever handle, a different trigger safety.

Other differences may be hiding inside but we have not seen a teardown yet.

The .177 is on its way to a new home, all the spare parts went with her, she got a brand new OEM hammer spring and hammer spring cap plus a spare barrel clamp.

Anyone have a .22 ATI Nova Liberty poppet they want to get rid of? I'd like 2 if possible? My Nova Liberty has a slow leak through the barrel and need on if I can find!?
Thanks!
