The Schematics for the Stormrider are available in our (GTA) Library and on the Pyramyd Air site. But in neither place are the various parts name nor are the parts numbers available. On the Pyramyd Air site it even says: "Click a part number to check availability and price[/size]." Good luck with that (except for the barrel band.)[/color]

Will, at the top of the GTA homepage, you will see your avatar. Just below that are the different areas of the web site you can explore:
Home Forum Help GTA Library Old GTA and more
There is much good information there - Go exploring my friend!

Thanks, Bill. That is what I was looking for.
You the MAN!

Google is your friend... ;)

This afternoon, about 1:00 p.m., I re-installed the pressure gauge [this is where the leak is]. I then pressured it until the gauge needle was in the low green zone and let it soak.
A few minutes ago, I checked the gauge and noted that it was still reading in the green zone. This is good enough for hunting purposes.
Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds an acorn. ;)

Update - 6:15 a.m. the next morning
The pressure seems to be holding just at the green level border. Maybe, just maybe, I have stumbled onto the fix for the problem leak.
I think I will open an air gun repair business.
NOT!

Note to Stormrider owner/tinkerer:
If you remove the pressure gauge, you will find NO o-ring or washer.** There is some sort of nylon connector in the bottom of the hole between the air tube and the gauge. I believe it is something that is replaced once all the insides are removed from the air tube. <--- I could be wrong, but . . . . I can't find the part on any schematic blowup.
When re-installing the pressure gauge, put a dab of silicone grease on all the threads of the gauge, run it down with your fingers only until snug, and then about a 90º (1/4) turn with a wrench. Put about 1,000 psi of air in your rifle and do a leak test [soapy water]. If it leaks, use the wrench to snug it ever so little until it shows no leak. Here, less is more!
Let the rifle rest for a couple days and check for leaks again.
Good luck with your rifle.
**If you remove the gauge head from the brass fitting, there is an o-ring there that can be changed. Mine was not damaged and not leaking.
