Frequently Asked Questions
General
We offer our customers two model series – the DAR-15 and the DAR-10 – in various calibres, barrel lengths and contours. Thanks to the many possible configurations, you will find the right firearm for almost any application.
The development, design and manufacture of our firearms take place entirely at our site in Fraureuth (Saxony, Germany). Alongside production on our own state-of-the-art machinery, a high degree of manual craftsmanship is central to our work.
The pursuit of the highest precision and a return to exceptional craftsmanship – and with it the high quality and value of our products – are our top priority.
In addition, our firearms feature numerous technical innovations, such as the DAR Rail Tube System, the integrated trigger guard and a continuous Picatinny rail. We will gladly inform you about further special features.
Yes. In addition to our DAR-15 and DAR-10 model series, we offer individual configurations – from barrel length and contour through to a coloured Cerakote finish. This allows your firearm to be tailored precisely to your intended use and personal preferences. Please get in touch with us for your desired configuration.
Cerakote is a high-quality ceramic surface coating. It provides hard-wearing protection of the metal surfaces against abrasion, corrosion and weathering, and is available in a range of colours. DAR firearms with a Cerakote finish thus combine lasting protection with an individual look.
Our DAR-15 and DAR-10 models are semi-automatic sporting and hunting rifles. The relevant assessment notices (Feststellungsbescheide) from the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) are available for our firearms; you will find the respective notice on the product page or in our download area. Acquisition is subject to the legal requirements of German firearms law (see the question “Which documents must I submit when buying a firearm?”).

No special sighting-in procedure is required for your DAR firearm. Wipe the barrel through with a cleaning cord before the first shot. Check the gas setting and, if necessary, adjust the gas to the ammunition you are using. When operating with a suppressor, first open the gas only about a quarter turn and then adjust it step by step to the ideal setting (see the operating manual). Within the first 1,000 rounds, clean the barrel about every 250 rounds, and after that about every 500 rounds.
Yes, all DAR firearms have a continuously variable gas system that is adjustable from the front. This lets you set the firearm ideally to the ammunition used and/or to operation with a suppressor. For more detailed information, please refer to the operating manual, which is available in our download area.
The cleaning interval depends on how the firearm is used and on the ammunition used. As a rule, a field cleaning after each use is recommended. Please also note:
- With a new firearm, i.e. before the first 1,000 rounds, cleaning should take place every 250 rounds.
- After the first 1,000 rounds, cleaning every 500 rounds is sufficient.
- Under heavy loads from sand, dust and moisture, clean more frequently.
- If the firearm is stored or not used for a longer period, cleaning every six months is recommended.
First ensure safety and check that there is no cartridge in the chamber. Then inspect the main firearm parts and examine them for defects. Malfunctions often result from an incorrect or unfavourable gas setting – therefore check the gas setting first and readjust the firearm according to the operating manual. If the firearm is defective or shows defects, please contact us.
