DanAre these new rifles the gen 3 ones? I have 2 Gen 2 in 17 and 22 cal, looking for a 25, that will make a 3 gun set for the Sentry's and Dar's, then when I test the pellet sizer press I am working on, I should have a good test bed..........LOLDon
I would love to get a DAR .22 but the last thing I want to do is have to take it apart, and trouble shoot, a NEW AR that I don't know. Isn't that part of getting a new anything they should be ready to use?I'm considering a .25 in the future but may wait or go for a brand that works from the begining. The talk of a new model makes me wonder if a fix is part of the gen IIs future or a gen III is in the works. Do you guys see DAR getting better recently? Several people have given up and went elsewhere. I don't see most of the other brands having this kind of problems, and yes I've read all of this.
David, thanks for your response. I may have been too general with that post, but even Wayne got a lemon recently, and can't get it fixed. I know DAR is trying to get back up to speed but I do feel that a consumer should get a functioning item no matter what you are buying. Maybe I should wait for a while and revisit this subject at a later time.Thanks againJerry

Was it before Joe got in to them to change the O-rings?
The wooden stock and alulminum mags are the reason I place it in first place over the Sentry. I will follow this for a while to see if the rest gets resolved. A new model/generation sounds interesting.Thanks guys.

David ,.. Dar should make a .30 ,and add a few inches to the barrel ... ... my .25 has been good since day 1 I was lucky because this was a first batch gun's with no o rings replaced .... I have not touched that 1 as far as tuning goes as it is dead accurate at 50 yards removing a dime size circle off my target paper at 870 's fps with pellets 12 shots in a row I did one time LOL ! .22 is like 906 fps with cheap crosman hp walmart ammo and it is capable of doing about the same as the .25 at 50 with those cheap pellets , and shoots NOE hunter's pretty good also ... The bleeder screw is what everyone needs to know about - you just barely crack it open to create a slow leak and let it take some time to air out , if you back out that bleeder screw to far it can miss alien that ball piece that seals it off , and that ball can get damaged ... I was able to get it to seal up after mine was damaged by using plumber's tape on the the threads LOL ! I sent my .22 back to Dar with bleeder screw leaking issue , and a o ring leaking problem in the reg , Joe swapped me out the air tube /valve assembly ,and the gun has performed perfect since ... so just barely loose on the bleeder screw with slow leak to degas the gun .....
