Diana Airbug 177 cal CO2

[rsfrid]

Don't see many posts about this little cheapy wonder, but I have fun with it nearly daily. I shoot indoors at 7-8 yards in my basement from a rest and shoot into a pellet trap. I'm posting this target to show it's accuracy with careful well-placed hand control. It's all in the hand hold. When I get careless with my hold, the pellets hit high, low, left or right. You can see some of that in this 10 shot group.

I had the MRodAir version (CP1-M), and still have the Plinkster rifle version. To my eyes, both are great-looking airguns. And in my mind, both perform considerably beyond their modest prices.

I have been impressed by this moderator from buck-rail.com on my .22 diana chaser. It should be the same M10 threads on the airbug, it also fits my bandit.

He has a different model for airbug. Airbug has a setscrew locked muzzle device. The mod for air bug press-fits on.

I have two of the pcp variants and am always thoroughly pleased by their accuracy. Far over their price point for sure. Granted one has a LW barrel, the original was just as good possibly less pellet picky. I'm just a knucklehead that had a broken scope, thought the barrel was trashed lol

I'm looking at the Diana Chaser or Artemis CP-2, but in pistol form that grip/stock just doesn't look nearly as suitable as the AirBug or CP1-M,

Is MRODAIR still in buisness?

Hello @rsfrid

Love the Chaser and Bandit family of great shooting, tons of fun and inexpensive guns. If the truth be told, they most likely produce more fun for the buck than most others

I built up several of Crosman 2240 types, including the target and silhouette models, good triggers, power adjusters, ect, some premium barrels, and finally got a Diana Airbug. For the price it blows everything from Crosman out of the water. I had on two of the Crosman's, a CO2 cartridge stick and I had to completely disassemble the gun to get them out. The little Diana has a hole where you can use a little rod that is screwed into the CO2 cap and pry a stuck cart out. I have seen were some Crosman guns have been so modified, and should I get another stuck, it will visit my drill press. The factory Diana magazine is not so good, but I did pick up several excellent magazines fro CARM, as well as a nifty single shot adapter that pivots out to the side, slip a pellet in and pivot it back in, very quick. Fractory single shot is by use of a magnetically held tray where you lay a pellet in and then push bolt forward. If you should tip the gun to either side the pellet will fall off, with the CARM single shot adapter that is not possible. Accuracy is up there with the better Crosman guns, at least comparing CO2 guns.
