RECALL: Air rifles can unexpectedly fire, posing risk of serious injury or death

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Some air rifles that can unexpectedly fire, even if the safety is engaged, are being recalled.

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Sept. 10 that about 1,400 DIANA Stormrider Gen 2 Air Rifles are being recalled. The unexpected firing of the rifles could result in serious injury or death, the commission says.

This is the cheapest rifle on Pyramyd Air. I think that there is a better deal to be had with the Gamo Urban that is frequently available for as little as $185 on Walmart.com. It has an adjustable hammer spring that will allow 1200 fps with Lead pellets. It is quieter, has a much better quality, although more expensive magazine, a hammer forged barrel, a valve that is tuned so well that many reviewers have mistakenly referred to it as a regulated gun. The gun is actually made in the UK by BSA and exudes quality in fit and finish. It will shoot sub 1" groups with a number of pellets, something that neither of my stormriders will do even after testing nearly 50 pellet types and brands in them. The trigger can be adjusted( after replacing the factory adjustment screw with a 4mm longer one ) to a sub 1 # pull. It is a steal at $300 and is a "you'll never buy better" proposition at the $185 price.

IF YOU HAVE TO SHOOT IN THE DARK USE A MACHINE GUN
