    Stormrider

    The muzzle brake and the set screw are loaded with a red thread lock. I had to use a propane torch on mine to get it loose. After I got the set screw hot enough to loosen, I still had to drive-off the brake because it was also full of the red locking agent.....they absolutely didn't want the...

    Shooting Springers?

    I would not mount the Mueller 8-32 on the D48.....the Mueller is a very good scope but I don't think it would survive on the 48. Stay with the Leupold scopes on the 48's and 54 Diana rifles. ART

    Sightron SIII Turret Knobs

    Last year I called Sightron to see about getting several spare elevation knobs so I could "tape" them for different power levels.....the Girl said it would be about 4 months to get them, I didn't order any. What I did do, was put tape on the Windage knob and then I could swap it to the...

    Any Airgunners from South West PA?

    I can't post the link to the CSLC(Consolidated Sportsmen of Lycoming County) web site. There is a map and directions to the Club on the site. Very large club with a lot of members and activities. We shoot airguns on the indoor range during the Winter and outside FT style during the Summer. Drop...

    Optics setup for Diana 34. Can anyone suggest a few items?

    I have a couple of my 34's set-up with Pyramyd's Mantis 4-12 scope and a Hawke adjustable elevation mount.....works great! The Mantis 4-12 is an AO, 1" scope with Mil-Dots and it is about $89.00. I've got BKL rings on it. Very clear glass and the clicks give true vertical and horizontal...

    One man's guide to polishing a barrel

    Dale, I used the same general method as used in firearms. I used Clover brand Silicon Carbide Compound Grade #2A. I have a small (4"x4"x 1/4") cold finished steel plate that I put a dab of compound on and smear it thin over the whole plate and then roll the pellets around under my finger for 30...

    One man's guide to polishing a barrel

    I have recently "fire lapped" a new L/W barrel for my USFT, it worked very well and the barrel is very brilliant inside. It also brought out the last little bit of accuracy! This was a lot quicker than the traditional way that I have been polishing barrels. ART

    Canadian Diana 75 Kit is here !!

    Very important....The inner springs must have the closed coils facing outward toward the bottom of the pistons. The open coil ends of the springs go inward on the center guide with the open end locking onto the swaged index in the middle of the guide....one end on each side of the index. If the...

    1701P Silhouette PCP Pistol

    Really a great little pistol and a superb platform to build on. The triggers can be worked into something pretty decent when compared to the older Crosman triggers. You can install a Marauder rifle trigger assembly and make a neat stock for it and it will become a nice carbine. You can even fit...

    A Diana 75 story.. AVOID CANADIANS

    I've done all kinds of measuring on the D75HV stock.....the normal D75's have the butt stock hollowed-out to much to be able to cut one to the exact dimensions for the adjustable cheek piece. The stippling is a little different at the pistol grip on the 75HV than on the regular 75, but it...

    FWB 602 short gate install

    The 603 has a recoil reducer on it that gives you a dead calm shot cycle. When I got my 603 I discovered that the recoil reducer wasn't working because it was corroded and the pin that pushes the compensating weight backward wasn't moving so it was shooting like the normal SSP rifle which is...

    FWB 602 short gate install

    I've got a 603 that came with a scope and no sights. The loading gate had been cut back for scope clearance and the scope was mounted with a BKL high cantilevered mount on top of a pair of BKL risers, this made the scope way above the travel of the cheek piece adjustment. I had a hunk of Birch...

    Single stroke pneumatic question

    It will not harm anything dry firing the 600's. The FWB 603 has a dry firing feature that allows you to cock the trigger mechanism to practice your trigger pull without making a pump stroke. ART
