Thank you very much for the tutorial. To describe it briefly and accurately: Your videos are the main reason that I also bought the inexpensive air rifle and have more fun with it every week...
@eepvideofan wow thank you so much for sharing and I am super glad you are enjoying your air rifle. This is the reason I put effort into my channel is so people can enjoy the sport and shooting without happing to spend a fortune. Thanks so much for your kind message you really made my day
Everything back together! No parts left over. Will install the trigger and add the stock tomorrow. I should have noted the proper sequence - had to backtrack a couple times. Filler probe should be here Friday and then I can actually shoot it. Will keep you posted.
Kind of a lost day yesterday traveling to a funeral but put in my new screws after rounding off the tip and polishing a bit. About 4mm short but kept turning the screws beyond flush with the trigger. Tested this morning with my water bottle trigger pull gauge and go 1 1/2 lbs - 680g. Short first stage and good clean break at second stage (at least to my untrained finger). Ordered some 16mm screws but had to pay shipping this time but worth it. Will try to sell some on eBay to recover my cost. Will do a pressure test as I understand it to check for leaks. Very pleaded with the results.
Seems now there is enough play with the safety engaged to trip the trigger. Guess that’s what call unintended consequences. I think I read a post critical of the design and would agree. Didn’t trip when I dropped it a foot on the butt so pleased with that. Will fine tune when I get the new screws next week. Air pressure still holding - compressor here tomorrow! Have a good weekend.
Making progress - the scope I planned to use wouldn’t zero so got another one which does but don’t think it’s right for my plinking needs. Will be put to better use on my powder .22. Forced to reinstall the iron sights and was pleased with how well those worked for me. Shooting at about 10 yards to get zeroed and will venture further back tomorrow. Bought a chronograph from aliexpress for $25. Clever little device and I do mean little. Measures force in joules but only up to 10g pellet weight. If heavier than 10g, divide by 10 to enter wt and multiply result by 10. More interested in velocity - will return if it doesn’t perform. Glad to have the compressor except fan runs whenever it is plugged in. Will add inline switch when I have a chance. Moving onto fall weather here, warm at 80F tomorrow with highs in 60’s later in the week. We get about 3 months of cold, snowy weather each year but it always seems longer.
THANK YOU!, Exellent videos in the CP-2 series.Just ordered one my self, very much thanks to your videos. Looking forward to get it and tinker with it and do your mods on that thing 😀 Greetings from sweden
Enjoyed your informative video. New owner of Diana Stormrider 2 and not as happy with 2-stage trigger as I had hoped. My concern is what you stress - keep the sear flat against the abrasive. I figure I’ve got one chance to do it right unless I can find a source for sears. My thought was to fit the sear into a wooden block that matches the angle needed to keep it flat. Not sure that info is available but should be able to come close with an angle finder and trial and error with my miter saw. An approach worth trying? Long retired so lots of free time with cold weather on the way. Haven’t found another video that deals specifically with the Stormrider but will keep looking. Just subscribed and look fwd to your other videos. Thanks again.
I’d actually found the PR900 video but stopped watching because it wasn’t for the two -stage trigger. Looked at mine hoping to find a grub screw but only have the two screws which I had experimented with. I am severely limited mechanically but when the manual directed you to move screw ccw to lighten the trigger pull it didn’t compute. Seems to be the only way to move the sear against the bolt is to tighten the screw not loosen it. Maybe liability concern? Still some first stage to take up but will have headless screws this week which will allow that plus improve the appearance (for me anyway). Thanks for your response!
Had a terrible time with my new patchworm! Got a patch started, moist with ballistol, eventually got it into the barrel but wouldn’t move. My hand got slippery so knotted the line and put a 1” dowel thru it - took all my strength. Tried another with more ballistol on new patch with same result -added ballistol directly to the barrel this time for lube. Decided enough with the patchworm and tried to use .22 mop to clean it up (had removed the barrel by then) which got part way into the breach and that got stuck. Didn’t want to force it so pulled it back. A small washer -1/4” diameter was about 1/2” from the end of the mop. What have I done???
On a brighter note, I polished the sear and am pleased with my work. I guess I can take out the bolt and finish the job now. Saw an old Airgun nation post about short trigger screws. He is much happier with his trigger now. I’ll let you know when everything is back together. Didn’t receive the quick fill probe from Diana so dead in the water for now. Thanks.
Looks like the washer fits back into the breech - should stay in place because the pellets are going the other way. I think the only “damage” is a missing o-ring on the barrel. My removal technique. Found one on my br carpet - no sign of the other. Looks like just under 10mm in diameter and .8mm for thickness. Looks like they are available on line but don’t need 50. Will try locally. Watching your reassembly video - polished the bolt - sear is so shiny I can see myself. Hadn’t planned to go this deep but so far so good. Patchworm guy asked if the barrel dirty - never fired so that was most likely the problem. Will try again now that the barrel looks cleaner. Having a great time, your videos are priceless to noobs like me.
Do you have a video available on how to adjust the trigger ? I'd like to lighten my trigger a little. I'd like to try a little adjustment before I tear mine down.
@pointnozzleaway in my new cp2 series coming up there is a little more detail on adjusting the trigger. This trigger however can't really be adjusted for lighter the adjustment only changes the length of the first stage
Hi, excuse my out-of-the-art question and if I'm using a translator so my English will not be perfect. Do I feel like I understand that if I join the two centimetre drop is increasing the power? What if, how much are you doing in m/s? Thank you so much
@Salvatore Belli not sure if I understand your question completely, are you referring to the trigger tune or fps increase project? If you are referring to the fps increase video, with a 4mm spacer inside the hammer and increasing the hammer spring by 10mm I got an fps between 680 and 740 which is 210m/s - 225m/s.
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner Thank you for your answer, and I ask you, but if I put my thickness, is it not better to stretch the spring that tends to short again? Thank you
@Salvatore Belli to stretch the spring will increase the tension in the spring when it is the compressed state. If you put in a spacer you also increase the tension because you are putting the spring under more tension in it's working position. You can also combine the two to basically increase the tension in 2 ways, it will increase tension but it has a limit based on the material(elastic) properties of the spring steel hence you will get an increase but it will not be double. Hope that makes sense
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner I'm gonna ask you the last question is don't bother you anymore. Do stutting of the spring have an effect on the consumption of co2?
@Salvatore Belli absolutely no problem ask as many questions as you need. Yes by adding tension to the hammer spring you will consume or use more co2. From my testing so far. For every 10% increase in fps or m/s I have lost 25% of my shot count or used an extra 25% of my co2 capsule. So for an extra 50fps I got 10 shots less per co2 capsule
@supedude you can go wirh the 1000 and polishing wheel. The leather strap and buffing compound will also polish it up nicely. Just be careful on the polishing wheel not to change any angles though it shouldn't remove much if any material
You have a lovely way about you friend this is how people are remembered
@john man Thanks so much. We are how we will be remembered I guess

Awesome, I was going to suggest a pressure test so long before you put the trigger back but I guess you'll need the fill probe.

Glad you enjoyed it, I did do a video on setting the stormrider trigger, check out for PR900 trigger, they are the same

Can the trigger and sear be removed without stripping it all down? Very good video, I hope to see more of them.
Thanks @clive marsh glad you enjoyed it. I am sure if you browse around you'll find a few more
Do you put any grease or oil on the surfaces after polishing?
No usually leave dry, if you put some kind of lub it could create a little inconsistency
these videos are a great resource! Thank you! are you in the states?
Thanks for your kind words, no I am in South Africa where are you from
@@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner haha yeah they are great, I’ve been binging all of them in anticipation for my gun to arrive. I’m in California
The beach city, that is awesome. Enjoy the binging, you should have a few videos to keep you busy😉

damn using 600 grit and 800, balsy man right there,, i use 1000 grit and then polish on wheel,, its not hard metal in these guns
