Good step by step mate.

When I used to do it that way I used a washer over the head of the pop rivet gum to stop any marking of the nose.

As for putting the new point in I used to start the barrel on the back end of the point and tap a block of wood against the back to get the point started and then gentle tap rader with a tack hammer but stopping every tap to measure the point (as I knew the depth of the bore in the barrel)

With the way the darts are made now I suggest to anyone to purchase a Re-pointing tool the same as this http://www.a180.co.uk/shop/product.php?xProd=1404&xSec=191 its worth it for peace of mind & you can get spare blocks and allen keys when needed

Sorry to have high jacked your thread

Excellent post Danny, have a plus rep from me! :cheers:

The Storm points are quite a tight fit, I used the A180 tool which is great but was very hard on my hands when I fitted the Storm points into my Wagner darts, still did the job though.

But if you dont have a re-pointer the Riviet gun method looks like a very good alternative.

great post Danny ya get a + from me too.

Thanks Darren! And thanks Larry!

Great guide Danny, funnily enough I just fitted Storm points to my Target Lewis' this morning and was amazed how tight they were - considering they are Target points going into Target darts!
I have the Unicorn Unitool so same removal as rivet gun - old points straight out (wont remove Storm points tho) but the way the Unitool 'screws' the new points in, well my hand is still aching 3 hours later!
I think next time I will use the tapping with a hammer method you have desrcibed, looks a lot easier and same result.


On this note, is there a way to remove Storm points without having the Trulon repointer?

Cheers,
Greg

Good question really, I have not tried to remove any storm points so would be interested in hearing from anyone who has, they are tight fitting though.

First tried them with Diamond point's, but they wear smooth really quickly so thought I would try the Storm points, so far so good.

Greg
