Diana Stormrider Magazine

If you treat these magazines with respect and don't drop them in the dirt or use pellets that are too long for the magazine, they work great. I have 5 of these magazines and use them in my Diana Airbug and have put numerous rounds of the Crossman HP and the RWS Superdome through them and they have worked flawlessly. One thing that I did was to take a Q-tip and put 2 drops of air cylinder oil on it and swabbed each pellet hole one time and put a drop of gun oil on the front and back pivot points. My advice is not to use silicon spray on them because silicon spray can harm springs from my experience. I store them in a ziplock bag to keep them from getting dirty.

Pros
These magazines work the way they are supposed to

Cons
None

Im happy I bought it-may even buy another one or two, but the design still needs a little work

Pros
This makes things a whole lot nicer than loading the pellets one at a time

Cons
Even though this is the new fresh stock, its still not a perfect magazine. I’ve had a lot of jams since I started using this-about half of the pellets load perfectly but the other half need a little bit of help going in.

Pros
The magazine is small and light. It's precision made and does the job. Make sure to check out the loading instructions on u-tube, you'll be glad you did. This is my third and still have the original 2. I like to load all 3 and shoot without having to load as often.

Pros
Not many bright spots on this magazine.

Cons
Difficult to load until you figure it out. There are better after market magazines that are easier to load and work flawlessly.

Don't even attempt to use this magazine until you Watch the SMK PR900W magazine loading video on YouTube, several times if necessary.

Pros
Reliable semi-semi-automatic mag. for Diana stormrider and certain other diana products.

Cons
Requires patience: some people don't have that

It worked good for me, but the spring tension dies. I got about 20 loads before the spring wouldn’t wind with enough tension to load pellets.

Bought 2 of these for my Diana Chaser CO2 rifle/pistol kit (22 cal). Once you find the YouTube video that explains how to load the magazine (no instructions, and certainly not intuitive!), you've over the first hurdle. Unfortunately, the gun becomes a VERY finicky eater when fed from the magazine. So far I've tried 8 different pellets, and only 2 will feed trouble-free without at least one jam during the 7 shots you get. I'll continue to try different pellets to see what's usable, but it's not a good ratio so far. If you own one (mag), my advice is "Do NOT go gentle into that breech!" No hesitation - kinda like loading a howitzer: swift and sure! I think the unit could stand some refining by the manufacturer.

Pros
Great concept, work okay, IF you feed it the right ammo.

Cons
No instructions whatsoever; totally un-intuitive loading. Luckily, there's a YouTube video for that. At best a hard feed, at worst, jams that may require barrel disassembly.

It works ok, it is rather a pain to load. I've used better mags costing less!

Pros
feeds ok

Cons
mag loading mag mounting,,,,there are better ways than a slot and magnet

I've got some good news for you! (.22 Only) I ordered that four packages. It was okay! Diana, got your crap together now. First of all I want to get my directions The package doesn't have anything, Direction wise.

Turn over the magazine. Grab the bottom of the magazine, Counter-clock-wise. (The bottom) The spring tension goes higher and higher. When you get to the end, dropped a .22 pellets, Skirt first. (If you follow the directions, and only has one hole).

Now grab the magazine, turn it over. Clockwise - you put the remaining pellet(6) in there. The bottom of the pellet, goes in first.

Pros
Better product. The spring tension goes higher and higher, (6:00 to 8:00 Counter-clock-wise)

Cons
Not so, the original product. When you go Counterclockwise, 6:00 to 1:00 You have nothing!

... unless you count the first shot then it immediately jammed. The mag has a hole on each side so you will lose tons of pellets just trying to load this thing and probably Jam it before even puting it in the gun. It's also has a 360 rotation then stops so you have to time it when loading the gun or you will get one shot. not a continuous 540 like the Crosman rotary clip design. I so want to tell a Polish joke about it's design, but that would be offencive.

Pros
None use the single shot tray in your stormrider kit and don't waste your money on this POS

Cons
Diana corporation are the cons for tricking me into buying the stormrider thinking it was a repeater but isn't if you only get one shot from this piece of crepe.
