Diana .22 Bolt Assembly, Fits Stormrider, Bandit, Chaser, & Airbug

Instructions would have helped but I figured it out, was pretty easy, the only problem is the O rings included in package for barrel are too large an I have been unable to locate any that are skinny enough too fit! Due to this I cant use the rifle, any help would be terrific!

I think DIANA should have made the cocking lever a little bigger, I have two of these rifles and takes a little effort to cock both of them.

When you take the rifle apart do not remove the o rings on the barrel unless you have the correct o rings to go back, one of mine was broken anyway so had to remove it, o rings in replacement package were too large to reassemble.

Perfect fit

The o ring seal

The o ring seal is much bigger than the original

This replacement bolt is an exact fit for the OEM bolt on my stormrider. It is cosmetically slightly different but a perfect fit. It is actually easy to change. Shipping was also fast.

As careful as I was with the original bolt handle it snapped off. This is a common complaint with the stormrider and I hope this one is stronger and will last longer. The stormrider is a great value and is very accurate. It is my GO TO hunting riffle.

Be careful when working on any air rifle or pistol. Unload and de-gas the air by dry firing the gun before working on it. Once the action is removed from the stock the receiver can easily be removed and the bolt replaced. If you are inexperienced or do not feel comfortable working on an air gun, contact a gunsmith or Pyramydair for help.

Well according to my magnet, there is some steel in the bolt handle. The handle isn't all steel which it should be, my magnet just barely sticks to it.

Make the whole assembly all steel.

I will up date on how the assembly holds. Not very confident since there is no warranty. Wonder why that is?
