Diana Stormrider Magazine

I read some negative reviews but they operate better than expected

Pros
Works great

Cons
None

This item is nothing extra but is something most shooters would like to have with their purchase but did not come with it.

Pros
Works as intended with no problems

Cons
I would like to this item a little cheaper as most extra magazines for other rifles are cheaper and most air rifles come with more than one magazine.

The problem I had originally was the direction of rotation of the clear plastic cover. You need to wind the magazine up and the pellet in the back holds the wound spring in place. When you rotate the clear plastic shield you should feel the resistance from the spring, if not, youre rotating the wrong direction. Remember, to load the first pellet backwards. Once its loaded, the clear plastic shield stays in place. Now, turn the magazine over, the first pellet is held in place by the spring tension. Load the remaining pellets nose first in each position. Youll rotate the clear plastic cover hole to each position.
After about 10 magazines, youll love it.

Pros
The magnetic attachment works great

Cons
The manual is not clear

These mags are tiny, especially 177 and therefore fragile, Some are going to fail and some will be DOA. Buy extras and return defectives, AGD is great about providing replacements. Regarding jams. I have had jams with my first Stormrider, but it wasn't the mag it was due to the total lack of a lead in the breech. If there is not a PROPER lead, you will have many jams. You can fix it yourself or return the gun. I fixed mine. Regarding double feeds that jam the mag so that you cannot remove it. There are two ways to resolve the problem. One is to tap the rear of the bolt lightly with a small hammer which is exposed in the rear of the breech, that should drive the second pellet into the breech so that the mag can be removed. (you still have two pellets in the barrel and you will need a cleaning rod, or something, to push the pellets out. Second way is to just remove the barrel and everything will be exposed and fixable. The barrel alignment is critical - careful

Pros
Very convenient when they work. The mags have a bolt stop so that you cannot chamber an empty mag.

Cons
Very tricky to load. In .177, pellet loading is tedious for someone with large hands. When you have the pellet poised for inserting into the mag, your fingers block your view of the hole-- only a problem with the first pellet

If you're having difficulties, be patient and stick with it. You'll get used to it like I did. I've gone through several mags now and haven't had any problems. If you're doing it right, it works great. I'll probably buy a couple more. One note of caution - as I was shooting my way through a mag, I fat-fingered the slide bolt and accidentally chambered two pellets, so I had to clear the barrel before I could continue. This wouldn't happen if you were going one shot at a time. So be careful and happy shooting!

Pros
Makes the gun a repeater. Spending less time loading and more time shooting = more fun for me.

Cons
Just as other reviewers have said, I had trouble with it at first. At one point I thought I had a defective unit, or maybe I had broke it. But then I read the instructions again and followed them step by step, and I got it. Maybe having more detailed instructions to begin with would help with the learning curve.

NA

Pros
It is a good magazine the problem is most people are using the wrong pellets , (USE DOMED PELLETS ONLY in correct caliber ) you will have no problems with them feeding if loaded correctly into magazine follow instructions in PDF instructions . WADCUTTERS GET STUCK

Cons
WADCUTTERS WILL NOT FEED DO NOT USE THEM

Pros
Received a magazine free with order, and it's broke! It's taken 2 1/2 months to get a replacement and thers no gaurentee it will worm.dont spend the 20$!!

Cons
Don't order thus part

It's a must do yourself a favor order two of them .

Pros
It's awesome it makes my Diana Chaser now I repeater and Works flawless and it lets you know when you shot the last shot cuz it holds the bolt open.

Cons
It's a little awkward to load at first loading one pellet backwards than flipping the magazine around to load from the other direction but you get used to it.

Hard to load

Works well once you get use to using it. Won’t let bolt go home when mag. Is empty.

Pros
Very nice for follow shots on critter.

Cons
Make shur each pellet chambers.if your not paying attention and get a jam between clip and chamber you must pull the barrel off to clear jam, also dismont scope rings to get at barrel grub screws.
