Diana Stormrider "Tactical" Conversion: Installation

[@carrollentinc]

Great Stormrider Tactical Conversion Kit! Fits like a dream! I have a Black Synthetic Stormrider Gen 2 (bottom manometer) which measured overall 40" in length and weighed 5 lbs 9 oz (with Pinty Green Dot, Fill plug, Barrel Band, Dovetail to Picatinny Rail Adapter, magazine). With the kit (and Moe butt stock adjusted to me) it now measures 37" in length and weighs 12 oz less, down to 4 lb 12 oz. Much more comfortable to shoot. Looks Awesome too!

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Awesome. Love it! Thank you.

[@michaelvickers8575]

just ordered the kit, just ordered the gun! Actually, the last three airguns I have purchased have been for your kits. thats an interesting point to ponder...

[@BuckRailAirguns]

I love it. When I'm shopping for a new project I'm looking for airguns that would be much better if only... The Beeman 2027 was one of those airguns that I would not have bought if I couldn't do something about that grip! Thank you for your business. We'll ship your order tomorrow morning!

[@michaelvickers8575]

@@BuckRailAirguns awesome!! this is my third attempt at "THE HOLY SHIPPING GRAIL" that is a term I coined for the day your kit AND the gun from airgun depot are on the porch together. oh that day will come mind you...in the meantime I plan to work through your inventory by brand, fully exploring the different models from each manufacturer before moving to the next. the Stormrider kit came just in time as I only had the chaser left in the Diana line up, I have seriously enjoyed the airbug, and bandit so far. I am having a blast! you are allowing me to do what I would be doing if I was any good at running a slicer. you my friend, are a master slicer. I put my time in on 5 different printers and I will tell anyone out there that you are operating on a higher level. there is one downside however, your causing my FX to get dusty!!! hahaha!! keep it rollin!!

[@BuckRailAirguns]

@@michaelvickers8575 dang. I don’t know how I missed this comment months ago. That was very encouraging. I appreciate it. -Terry

[@gliderman1176]

I used a propane torch and the Diana moderator came off by hand I'm really enjoying the buck rail moderator.... Using the long barrel it's enough weight as it is so I like the lightweight moderator you supplied me... And if you double load maybe you'd be able to shoot it without damaging the baffles.

[@nikonmark37814]

Terry, the Stormrider Gen I has the manometer in the front and the Gen II has the manometer on the bottom. I have the Gen II, got it a month ago and I was confused at first but that's not a problem. I know not to order the tri-rail for my Gen II Stormrider. I can't wait to order it! I'm currently using your conversions with my Crosman 2240XL and Diana (.177) Chaser pistol and when I get out with them they turn heads because the look and function is awesome and that's what I expect with the Stormrider conversion! I'm currently looking at getting a .22 PCP Bullpup and the Beeman Under Lever is on my radar and of course it will have to have your suppressor and bipod attachment rail too. :-)

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Mark, thank you very much! I thought the same thing about the pressure gauge/Gen I and II thing. The only reason I bought two was to make sure that I covered the Gen 1 and Gen 2. But, a few folks brought it to my attention that the two airguns in this video are actually both Gen II. The synthetic stock Gen II has the gauge on front and the wood stock Gen II has the gauge on bottom. The Gen I has the gauge on bottom only, wood stock only, front sight post on the suppressor, shorter bolt handle, 2" shorter overall, and has an inferior trigger. There may be more, but those are the main things that I learned a little too late, lol.

[@carrollentinc]

I have a black Gen 2 Stormrider and that gauge is at the BOTTOM! @@BuckRailAirguns

[@murfspop]

Another QUALITY product from Terry. Buy with confidence as all his products are first rate. His $25.00 moderators are within 2 db's of my $150.. DonnyFL Tanto.I hope he will soon start printing the 12 round rotary mags for the 2240 's. :) Those will be a huge seller.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Thank you Sir. I guess I should look into those two 2 dBs. I'll look into the magazine thing as well. I've had so many requests for those. So much to do, so little time!

[@murfspop]

@@BuckRailAirguns Terry, check your E-m's .I sent u a link to the 3D printing codes. The spring could be wrapped using music wire . It might look like a clothes pin spring. I have a GRAV mag ,but it sticks out on the left side if u set the gun down or dropped it the mag would likely break. The 2240 mag looks like a Diana bandit rotary mag.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

@@murfspop Yeah, I saw that. I won't be using anyone's IP for profit. Had that happen to me a few times now and plan on steering well clear of doing the same thing. If you look closely you'll see that many of the things you find on Thingiverse are protected by CC licenses. Also, that magazine is only compatible with his custom breech. Not compatible with stock plastic or steel breech. I will definitely take a look though. Shouldn't be hard... when I get the time.

[@murfspop]

@@BuckRailAirguns Sorry Terry, I didn't understand the moral/ legal issues. There is another mag for the 2240 and XL .If u plan on making these maybe make a 20 round snail .That will really be a winner ! AND it will have no legal issues.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

@user-zn4tq6ib6r Thank you very much. It will fit on a gen 2 Stormrider. The only difference as far as the kit goes is that you need to make sure you get a handguard/forearm with the gauge hole. Also I’ll be coming out with an upgraded grip adapter and stock system soon if you can wait. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

[@ForgeFireCustoms]

I could be mistaken, but I think those are both Gen 2 rifles. My gen 2 with a wood stock has the pressure gauge on the bottom of the forearm. The Gen 1 had a slightly different moderator with the sight on the front instead of the rear of it, and also has a different trigger. The synthetic stock ones all have the pressure gauge on the front of the tube.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Wow, you are correct. Looks like I should have done some more homework on this one. I've edited out most references to Gen1 and Gen2. I left a few that still made sense. Thank you for bringing that up!

[@capitanocorelli1781]

Excellent conversion. As soon as my Stormrider arrives I will order the kit. Could you please give me an idea of the weight reduction for the carbine conversion operation?

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Thank you very much! It depends on what stock you have and what options you choose. I cut 1lb 5oz off of my Gen 2 with the wood stock.

[@capitanocorelli1781]

@@BuckRailAirguns Wow. Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks. That's a lot on an already lean gun.

Sorry about that. I’m making another batch now.

[@carrollentinc]

@@BuckRailAirguns Thanks for the reply, let us know when its cooked! :)

[@mehlcarelse4319]

Maybe fitting a dummy magazine together with the full kit could make a huge difference to this rifle or even better the Artemis/Diana M30 rifle. Or even a sniper kit to the M30. Please look at the Altaros M2010 for reference.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

I paid for an M30B a few months ago and never got it. I just cancelled it today. That was my thought as well though. A poor man’s Panthera. The mag thing is a good idea. Some countries that we ship to are not allowed to have such features believe it or not.

Bellissimi progetti... Avete risolto la spedizione per l'Italia?

[@thejoe9065]

Hi, do you have any distributors or resellers in germany or europe? And: Im pretty sure i have a gen2 cause mine got a regulator built in already but my stormrider has a gauge in the front at the quick fill thingy and a gaige at the bottom? In this video the two different gens have one gauge only each? Anyways, awesome products, looking forward to maybe get some.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Hello. I don’t have any EU distributors yet. We have some that are interested but it will be a while before they’re stocking the Stormrider kits. We do ship internationally, but I know it can be pricey with shipping, import tax, etc. If it has a bottom gauge then you’ll need the handguard with the gauge hole. We don’t have a regulated Stormrider here yet.

[@thejoe9065]

​@@BuckRailAirgunsThank you! I was just putting everything in the cart, the Magpul MOE-K grip FDE, Poor Man's Side Folder with minimalist buttstock, but the M-Lok Handguard w/ gauge hole seems currently not in stock. :/ Ive aubscribed to the in stock notification, but maybe you can tell me if and about when its gonna come back in stock? Obviously i wanna order all parts i need in one go cos of the shipping costs etc. Thank you from germany :)

[@TheytellToomanylies]

Could you make this style front grip to fit a Diana Bandit? One that slides down the shorter pressure tube and clamps tight instead of fastners on the underside?

[@TheytellToomanylies]

I am looking for a front grip like this, that fits nice alongside the wood grip of the bandit pistol, with one of your stocks. Not the one in this video, the other option.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

What some folks have done is use one of our shorter chaser rails to add to their bandit. There are two options for the Chaser that should fit on the bandit here: buck-rail.com/product/diana-ar-conversion/

[@TheytellToomanylies]

@@BuckRailAirguns I would realy like this foregrip and this stock to add to the system I described in my other comemt. That way I could have a cp2/chaser carbine co2 and this but eith a shorter pcp chamber and wood grip with this foregrip, that would be awsome, with the components I will have and this request it would be mad combo / system in England lol. Is their no way you could make it? Picture the bandit, with the standard wood grip, the chaser long barrel and this foregrip, your barel clamp, and this stock 😎

[@BuckRailAirguns]

@@TheytellToomanylies I hear you. I think. Did you follow the link? The forend that I make for the Chaser is compatible with the OEM wood grip for the Bandit. I make one that looks just like this one but short enough to fit the chaser and the bandit with wood grip. The stock can be mounted with the wood grip as well with a little modification.

[@TheytellToomanylies]

@@BuckRailAirguns I didn't follow the link when I wrote the reply but I am looking now. Thnakyou again

[@That1E_K1129]

Can we get a tac set up for the crosman 2240? The AR stock conversion seems to get extremely wobbly and loose after a little time. I've had to remove mine because it is so shaky. And it's not due to the bolt being loose that runs through the buffer tube the holes that are threaded into the buffer tube that slide into the gun wallow out and make it very wobbly from shouldering it.

[@BuckRailAirguns]

I definitely need to do that. It’s on my list. I’d like to make a nice grip adapter for that platform and we definitely need a more “tactical” forend. We just hired some help, so I’ve been busy with getting them settled in. Next will be the Avenger kit when I have time. Regarding your wobbly stock. I’d love to send you a replacement. We’ve used the heck out of ours for some time without issue, so you probably just got one with too much of a gap between air tube and stock tube. Reach out to Chris and he’ll get you hooked up.

Spedite anche in Italia?

[@ZachRussell.W]

On your website on this products description the first picture has 2 conversion kits that don’t go the whole length of the barrel and then the second picture does go the whole length , I want to order this but want the kit that covers the whole barrel ,how can I ensure that I do when I order ?

[@BuckRailAirguns]

Good catch. I don’t currently offer that as an option in the product listing. I plan on updating that. For now, the only way to do this is to add the Diana Chaser MLok handguard to your cart as well. If you look closely at the picture you can see that it is the long Stormrider MLok handguard plus the short Chaser MLok handguard. The length of the Stormrider handguard is the max printing height of my 3D printers. I apologize for the confusion. I just added this info to the listing to make things slightly clearer. Will eventually make the Chaser handguard an add-on item. -Terry

[@pr8067]

Terry - if I ordered the chaser m-lock guard as well as the m-lock guard for the stormrider, (to achieve the full length look) would I need to remove the chaser m-lock guard to recharge the gun with air? Also, I’m guessing the two m-lock guards attach together somehow? Thanks!

@@pr8067 Hello! The fill port is still accessible with the Chaser rail installed. The rails mount independently of one another.

Waw, thats quick. Going to order it. I bought my Stormrider 2 years ago. Shot it only like 4o times. But with this kit, yeah, im going to love this. I was wondering why is you were saying the Gen 1 is the Gen 2. Bus reading the msg I realised you got it right and so I did got the Gen 2. I thought the shop had tricked me in delivering me an Gen 1 instead of an Gen 2. I got Black Polymer version. So now im going to have an great looking gun. Cheers, Vince. PS please make the 2240 rotary mags because im building an 2240 PCP tactical.

Didnt found a traditional forearm for Gen 1 in the website, can you send a link for that.

If you navigate to the Stormrider kit and scroll down to the forearm you will click the checkbox to “add “Stormrider forearm”” etc. After you click the checkbox you’ll have an option to select which forearm you want.

[@rupertdonavan60]

Poor design on the stock, I suggest that you make the grip and the stock all one piece. Instead of a hollowed out tube

[@BuckRailAirguns]

First of all, it’s the best design there is! Mostly because it’s the only one (that I know of). Secondly, the tube is solid apart from the bolt hole. The tube has a 6 inch long steel bolt passing through it like a skeleton. Kind of like your legs. Third, I think your legs are very well designed… if they’re anything like mine, anyway.

[@delgiaccoclaudio1221]

È più bella in originale
