I'm agreeing with Motorhead 100% on the Bar Oil. You want a lubricant that well, lubricates without dispersion or adverse effects to the materials of the 0-ring. A good synthetic, I just happen to have Mobile One laying around. I use it in my shops machines, high speed embroidery machines. My lubrication times have gone from every few hours to monthly. The Belleville stacks have a range, a minimum and a maximum, need more, use thicker, want less, use thinner. By having them uniform you spread the compression force equally between them all. It matters not one bit if you have one reversed at the top or the bottom of the stack if you have an odd number stack, it just needs to be fully seated. My thought on synthetic oil is, if it's good enough to keep a F1 car engine running, it's more than good enough for my air gun. Plus I have a very bad experience with silicon, may have been a one off but not taking any chances. I want things slippery, if it moves or slides, it get M1.

Makes sense. I did not go into classifieds yet, as I don't know what I'm selling. Was hoping to get a ball park or some additional guidance before I put it up for sale. My father-in-law gave me a spring Remington a couple years ago and I still have my 40 year old Crossman. I'm not interested in having all 3 and I rarely use any of them.

Just so you know.. those guns that are spelled out are Chinese guns rebranded by Diana. I have the Two Fifty. I like the gun but it has a heavy trigger and a harsh shot cycle. I had to put a Hammers scope on it. They are NOT German made Diana guns.
Might want to question Midway on that.

I haven’t shot them yet. I just got the mold last week and finally tried it out yesterday. I’m hoping they shoot well out of my standard Challenger 24”. After I did my preliminary sort, I ended up with 240 of them for an hours work. I’ll get them washed and lubed today. I’m thinking of using the same 10w silicone oil as I use on slugs. Anything else I should try instead?

sounds like you got a good plan....let us know how they perform

At the very beginning of my post I wrote , Chiana that's what another member called them , so yes I knew they were from China which is fine they are German design that can't be taken away , and I whish they were real German made. Once long ago the USA sent some small drill bit's to China , so they could see how well made , and nice they were.
The company in China drilled holes in those drill bit's put there bit's inside , and sent them back.

Excellent condition. It was originally purchased from Airguns of Arizona in 2023. Looks and shoots fantastic. This is the Huma regulated model.

Asking $850. Does not include the scope or moderator. The 0dB moderator is $100 if interested.

Paypal friends and family or add 4% to cover fees. I'll take a check(or cash in person), but will need to wait for it to clear prior to shipping. I'm in NE Ohio, so you are also welcome to come see it and shoot it at my place.

For quickest response, please text Eric @ 330-922-5779.

I kinda think the 100 degree temps with high humidity is what was causing the high power kit to shoot at 12 ft lbs. It was 80 degrees when I tried the AEA 8.72. I’ll try to chrono when it gets close to 100 again.

Apparently my SL 25 came with no grub screws. I'm looking for "2" The barrel is loose!

Kenjeepman · Aug 16, 2025

Interesting, something i should of done way back. Swap the calipers over.
Ran the 25 cal barrel/mag on the 22 block.

22 cal as is 30 fpe
1 mag 25-30 FPS spread
2 mags 80+ FPS spread and climbing.

25 cal on 22 block 40 fpe
1 mag 21 FPS spread
2 mags 51 Fps Spread (peaked at shot 28 and then decreased)

25 cal as is 40 fpe
1 mag 10-15 FPS spread
2 mags 35-40 FPS spread

22 cal on 25 block 30 fpe
TBD

All the F’ing around with the 22 block and it looks like its the barrel/mag or caliber itself not playing well with the valving.
Still need to test the 22 cal barrel on 25 block. If the velocity spikes .. that will totally rule out the block as the issue. The 25 as is gets the best numbers.going to be interesting to see what it does with the 22 barrel.

I'm friends w/ a person w/ a business that cleans out estates. These folks had already moved and only wanted a clean out and cleaning. This was going to the dumpster, believe it or not. Guy asked about it after and said we should have also taken its compressor. At the time I had no idea what I was looking at or that one was required. I bought a floor hand pump so I could try it out. Seems totally functional and it is legit. Attached picture of other related mounting hardware,etc, All included. I can thro in the floor pump if needed.

Like the title states, I really wasn’t looking for another rifle but this strange one came up and I jumped on it. This time another UK made rifle only a Webley. A very good condition Webley Osprey supertarget. This is my first Webley and my first tap loader. Strange setup indeed .The previous owner ( member here ) had it posted on the CAF with a few minor issues like the trigger wasn’t working but the price was right.
I received the rifle and was able to get the trigger back together and working. I shot a few pellets with a red dot mounted at 10 yards ( indoor range) single hole. Didn’t put it over the chrony as I knew I was going to get into the internal workings to freshen it up anyway. It was shipped with an Anschutz blade sight and a globe front sight. I promptly scoured the internet and found an Anshutz 6705 rear and new glove front sight set that are correct for the rifle. I am however missing the Webley adapter that sold with this rifle when new from 3/8 dovetail to 11mm. I’m still looking for a solution for that one.
Anyone who’s ever held one of these rifle can attest to how muzzle heavy it is with the 3/4” OD barrel in 19 3/4” long. What else could I do but chop the barrel. I removed 6 1/2” , took the OD down at the muzzle end to refit the globe sight block. But I ran out of my supply of blueing solution. I’m pretty fond of the Brownell’s Oxphoblue . If you take your time with it I find the final blueing turns out nice and black compared to other off the shelf products I’ve used. The seller also sent me an HW seal which I’m still on the fence if I’ll install it or not. We’ll see once I tear into the internals. That’s three springers over the last two months. I swear this is the last one . Hahahhahhaha

Big thanks to Rich Briscoe of BARS Slugs

Not all slug makers are the same—and Rich proves it. While many big-name brands chase one-size-fits-all designs, Rich takes a different path: building slugs that actually fit the shooter’s needs. No generic molds, no mass-market shortcuts—just precision, consistency, and a real understanding of what works in the field.

I’ve moved away from buying what others want to sell. Now I run what’s built for my setup, my goals, and my standards. That’s what Rich delivers—and it makes all the difference.

Thanks again, Rich. You’re raising the bar for what airgun ammo should be.

My understanding is if you shoot h&n pellets this is 10 shots each one hole

Glad your diana is working out enjoy

I suppose you knew this was coming , but how far away was this target , and what were you slinging those H&N with , and what caliber.
Man that's great looking 10 shot groups can you post a pic of the rifle OldVet wants to see .

I'm also having to address increased rock squirrel activity and population around my home.

#1: Killing one with something like your Sheridan is doable. That is what I used to kill one.

However, since running off other rock squirrels, they have become more wary than that first one, which sat eating on the ground, totally unconcerned that there I was aiming a big brown stick at it from no more than 25 ft away.

The big problem is not which gun, but how to get kill a squirrel that is not high up in a tree (rock squirrels both burrow in the ground AND climb trees), or running.

#2: Therefore, I think setting a baited Havahart trap is probably easiest, and that is what I just bought. It cost about $41 at the hardware store. Another $60+ for a multipump gun will allow part 2 of the plan: killing the trapped squirrel. This way, power for killing from more than very short distance is not a concern. All your friend needs to learn is how to set the trap and operate the gun in the most basic aspects.

#3: The suggestion to trap it and drown is an option if she doesn't want to use a gun, period.

The need for an aired-up gun ready to use on short notice becomes irrelevant once you use a trap. The total expenditure could be as low as $41 plus a few bucks for a large, deep bucket. Unless she WANTS to learn to shoot, there is no reason to make this more complicated than that.

Justin welcome to the club. I see no one suggested a Scope so let me suggest your looking at Leapers Scopes (UTG) products. All the usual 30mm or 1" tubes with all types of reticules plus Red-Green battery powered feature. Well I would like to suggest a Sight Mark Wraith Model SM18021; Wraith HD 2-16 x 28mm Day or night. Electric Infared Red (IR) for at night. I have had mine for 3 years now and it is amazing. The software is unbelieable and you can put your hunt on an SD card. I think they are still $500.00 with the base attached. The nice thing it is always ready when needed. No waiting for daylight just push a button (3 levels of power ) and it is daylight. Good luck.

Local group puts on a youth pheasant hunt. My son and some of his friends are shooting, so volunteered to bring some airguns. They have a 22 lr portion for some plinking fun, and now we have some airguns.

Hello, I am in search of a Diana 4x32 scope, or similar, for my Diana 24.

I would also consider any other Diana brand scopes for my various Diana projects.

Thanks!

When these come through Amazon they are folded and fit into tiny, many times vacuum sealed bags and take a while to 'reinflate'.

That’s a tough one rifle do all task. It’s just my opinion but I will never be convinced 30 cal in an airgun is a great choice for deer. 357 min and then you move out of a backyard plinker unless ammo prices aren’t a factor. I think if the focus is medium to larger size game something like the 357 mora or western sidewinder would be sweet.

I have been eyeballing the western for sure.
