DAR Gen II is now available

[Firewalker]

Strange, how one gun can be such a bugger to get shooting good. The only DAR I Bought to date is the .177, and it has been a NSA slug shooting laser, along with most pellets I tried.

I have never tried a slug in my DAR, I wonder how they will shoot? The real issue is that of QA and a clean/straight barrel, miss those and its awful. Its got to be easy to flush a barrel after cutting the rifling, swab with light machine oil and assemble.

Reckon how long it would take to do that to a run of 10,000 of them?

This has probably been mentioned before, but I will ask anyway.

Who manufacturers the DAR?  SPA?  Xisico? Someone else?

They look very similar to the JTS guns.

My .25 and .177 are good shooters.

I have had to work through some issues with them, but I am happy with them.

Might have to snag a .22 when the Gen 3's come out.

From a manufacturing standpoint, it could be as easy as another step for the CNC operator after they pull the barrel out of the final Cut operation or after the barrel is blued in the final rinse operation they could run a swab. I bet it would add no more than 10 seconds to the operation

I never asked Joe about who made the guns but I don't think they are made by the same company.

The race is on for me. Which one will become available first? The Standard airacuda or the genIII dar?

I'm gonna guess it will depend on which one clears the Port of LA first! 

[Firewalker]

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.

Interesting.

Lol! In Minnesota, "interesting" is the kind way of saying, "That there is the ugliest example of hideous I have ever seen!"   

[Insanity]

It reminds me of my kral stock but more extreme than it.

You're not wrong but I do like it!

[Firewalker]

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.

[swoab47]

I like it.

Kind of hope the gen 3 will have more of a pistol grip stock.

Either a thumb hole or something like the Avenger or origin in shape.

I hope so too! That log is just too cumbersome to hold comfortably.

The fore grip is about as thick as it should be on yours I feel the way it came to be too thick and dorky looking.

I have more to take off the front as well but the shoulder just can't take it right now so I stained it and threw some water based poly on it for now until I get better. The front is perfectly square right now, I have to decide on the taper and the radius I want on the bottom sides. A little flat for bench work but enough curve to hold comfortably in my hand.

I shoot off a bipod or a rest thingy so the size in hand isn't an issue for me its all aesthetics. Even as is I have some paws on me so the bulk really isn't an issue it just looks so "dang" dorky.

In the field, like this afternoon, I shoot off hand at pests (Starlings showed up today) so the wrist has to fit my hand. On the bench, I side fire, just the palm against the stock and my pointer on the trigger. If I do it right, I dont imprint my heartbeat and I can breathe through the shot even though I am pressing into my shoulder.

The looks are OK for me but if I could get over the price, I would grab a rifle-stocks.com/laminated_blanks, blank for a thumbhole stock.

[Insanity]

Ergonomics really play a large role in how you are able to shoot. But then there is the I have a 300 dollar gun is it really worth a BA stock?
