N/A Diana Chaser rifle

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Picked up another 22 caliber to keep as a pistol. Went through it today. Trigger tune (under a pound), cleaning and lube. Mounted a (cheap) reflex dot. Removed the suppressor and mounted it to the pistol barrel. Totally silent. Trigger click only. At shot number 20, about halfway through the first CO2 cartridge, it chronographs at 440fps using 14.3 grain CPHP’s. This is the following 5 shot group after the chronograph at 35 yards and it measures 1 3/8” with five and 7/8” with four off a tripod. Really good shooter. May try it tomorrow with the shoulder stock.

This platform can be very addicting! I have a Chaser rifle/pistol combo, an Airbug, and an Artemis CP2. Why? I'm really not sure... Just enjoy tinkering with and shooting the things. All are .22 cal. Latest acquisition is a "Bandit" barrel only (about an inch longer), that I got from our friend Wes (Canada). Gonna put that on the Airbug and see if I get any more velocity out of it due to the slightly longer length. That longer barrel length created a problem--- the case I had for the Airbug is now too short. Had to get another (longer) case for transport to the range. It's always SOMETHING! Not sure what to expect, but will be fun to chrono and find out. I wouldn't be too upset if the Bandit barrel swap shot more accurately as well. We shall see. So much to test, so little time...

with two pieces of carbon tubing and the band, you could get rid of the front sight, they just tap off with and block off wood and a hammer

Thanks for the idea. Barrel bands finally got here. Shipped from Germany. Made the front sight replacement shroud from a .89 plumbing fixture. Did the pistol and rifle both. Looks cleaner without the sights to me.

Of no importance but I just counted my Diana black bags that the pistol/rifle kit comes in and I counted 6. Wish I could store all of my air guns in one place and this not happen😁 Charles

well you are as bad as i am old Doskocil rifle cases work great for at least for they are on Ebay used i have many rifle case stuffed with pistols
the case are the DXL cases they were than call Gun Guard and then Plano and they stopped making them now the big case can have a problem but it is not there fault, if they get hit hard, they can bend out of shape in shipping but as a case goes none better i have at least 30 DXL cases

I’ve just found out how great the trigger adjustment is on the Diana! Usually I just use the factory setting if it’s not bad, however just for fun I adjusted the trigger on one of the guns and ended up with the best trigger ever bar non! So I’m doing the same on the other ones. Guess I’m a slow easy to please guy. I f you haven’t tried it do so! Charles

I polished the sear and hammer to a mirror finish, lightened the spring with a replacement and adjusted the engagement to a minimum. It’s now a few ounces.

Do you if anyone sells just the suppressor? I'd like to put on on my pistol. Charles
