From: $0.00
I humbly entreat you, nay, beseech you on bended knee to read the whole folkin’ description and watch the video before purchasing!
This listing is for 3 items. All of which are used to convert a Diana Bandit, Chaser, or Airbug into an AR carbine or pistol. I have also confirmed that these work great on the Artemis CP2. I believe they should work on the Artemis PP800, but I have not tested that. You must click the “add” checkbox to add each item to the bundle. If you add the whole bundle you’ll get a 10% discount.
All parts are Made in the USA and covered by a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
The Grip Adapter is made from Laser Fused PA12 Nylon. It is compatible with AR grips without beavertails. It does work with some grips with beavertails and may require some slight cutting or filing to make the beavertail fit.
The Stock Tube and Adapter adds the capability of using Milspec AR 6-position buttstocks. The LOP range is suitable for kids or adults. It allows for a compact form factor and can be easily extended or collapsed to suit the shooter. The stock tube is FDM printed in ASA plastic in the USA. It is reinforced with a long steel bolt that passes through it and threads into a machined steel adapter. Expect a standard fit between buttstock and tube. Just like a Milspec M4 it will have some play between those two components unless you get a buttstock with features that take up that play (I.E. Madpul DT or Strike MOD2 buttstocks).
The handguard serves triple duty. It adds a barrel band for stability, a foregrip, and accessory mounting rails. It comes in either mlok or modified picatinny rails. I prefer the modularity and more comfortable handhold of the mlok option. Make sure you choose the proper length for your application. It is 3d printed from ASA plastic in the USA.

Huge improvement in the grip interface!
Thanks for making quality products.
The pistol is now a meaner Bandit!
So, I contacted Chris by email about the issue. He got back to me the same day and sent me a replacement which fit perfectly!
Thanks Chris!
The lower assembly required a little bit of sanding to remove some of the printing material to allow the part to fit perfectly flush on the tube. I also removed some printing lines on the inside of the trigger guard to get a totally smooth surface. Neither the of the fix's took much time to do, NO big deal !!
The Big deal is the Great quality of customer service you get from Terry and Chris at Buck-Rail .
They produce good products at reasonable pricing with free shipping included. I have purchased from Buck -Rail before and will continue to do so. Recommend them highly!
Keep up the Good work!!!
UPDATE:
I wish to amend or cancel my previous review as I did not mean to be negative about the product. I have been dealing with Terry since his page had only 6 items on it and has been one of the best vendors I have dealt with. Chris has already sent a replacement. I have recommended Buck-Rail to a number of other vendors in the industry. Keep up the god work and excellent customer service.
Thanks for your Business.
Been around weapons for a long time so I really appreciate your work. Thanks!!!!

It does not make sense to me that you would have someone read those extensive instructions, only to discover that the key lower was unavailable. Why not disable the whole ad until when and if you can restock the key part?
I immediately bought a $54 "advanced stock" elsewhere, then changed my mind when I found a cheaper official Diana stock on E-bay.
I bought the tri-rail handle (my bad), the barrel band and the silencer.
I would much rather have bought your whole AR kit which would have been much more trouble-free.

A: „Thank you very much. Shipment and quality of the parts proved to be excellent. What an awesome idea to enhance a „Diana Bandit“ in such way!“
RGDS from Bavaria
they are well made and the grips that come with them are fine
they being AR-15 mounts have the ability to become 1911 grips by adding an adapter and then your option have another rabbit hole to go down
i have been super gluing the nuts in place for easy of grip change out
now if you make a weaver Picatinny mount for the top and make it attractive not blocky, you could add a nice product to your line up
This kit is the best thing to happen since slice bread! Takes the Bandit to a whole new level! Thanks buck-rail!
BTW, their moderators are top notch!
Just a suggestion: had a minor problem attaching the AR grip, and would be good to have the square nut 'captured' somehow.
Will be buying from you again for future projects.
Best regards,
RP
Terry's kit is what Diana should have done !

I’m back with an update, and it’s a good one. I can’t believe how these parts transformed my Bandit into such a handy lightweight carbine. I knew it was pretty accurate with my cast 22 grain wadcutters, but I had no idea how much potential was there until I tried it in rifle form today. Thank you for another awesome product.
To add to the review above, I just finished adding a red-dot optic to the Tactical Bandit, as well as a small laser on the foregrip. Even with the accessories mounted and a full mag, the piece weighs in at 3 lbs, 8 oz. The downside is that it is limited in the number of shots — 2 or 3 mags because of the small reservoir, and stated velocity of 630 fps in .22 That yeilds about 12 foot pounds of energy — not a lot.
However, with a small air bottle or a hand pump, the weight wouldn’t go much over 5 lbs, which suggests that this may be an ideal little gun to strao to the backpack for harassing squirrels around camp, or for doing some plinking on a fine afternoon. I’d like to see Buck Rail do a similar kit for the Stormrider — only a few modifications would be necessary, and the resulting weapon would shed some weight and be capaple of more serious shooting, with double the energy and an increased show count.

The appropriate 11mm to Weaver mount rail is on order.
