1986 RWS Diana 36 (large comp tube). I chopped the barrel to 15-1/2” inches and had It re-choked and crowned by John in PA. I also cut a few coils to reduce the power, deburred, polished internals, lubed and installed a Chinese Beeman SS2 clone scope and Apex muzzle brake/weight. It’s now an...

OP be sure to look under the foam (if) it will lift up for any hidden goodies. That’s where I found the extra sight blade in its original wrapper. Also found a homemade aluminum cleaning rod. Alas, no case keys though. :( Congrats again on a great find!

This is the eccentric sleeve the OP and I am referring to. On later models it is cylindrical.

“Can someone explain the purpose of the eccentric sleeve to me please?” Rotating the eccentric would apply more downward force to the top web of the thumb and index finger for tighter fit of the hand to the grip. In later models this eccentric feature was done away with and the sleeve became...

Congrats on your new pistol! That looks like a really fine specimen! I have the twin to it as well. Really good shooter. Not sure how many times you’ve shot it but you should know within a dozen of so shots if the seals are good or going. I’ve seen this several times with these with failing...

Thanks Crowski, that’s humbling considering the talent pool here. Had a 12oz coke bottle on top earlier that I was smacking 8 out of 10 times. My son in law couldn’t hit it at all. Upon walking out to the post we found one of his golf balls. He said there was no way I could shoot that golf ball...

Shooting at this golf ball

This Diana 45T01, standing, free handed, open sighted

Bandito, glad to help and get another GISS gun up and running. They are true marvels and hope the front sight works out for you.

My modded Diana P-Five clone. Groups are definitely getting tighter! Best group so far. 4 shots through the left hole and 1 flyer right. 7 meters offhand

The blue painters tape keeps it from getting on the inside of the grips and gives the silicone a nice smooth finish once cured.

Can be completely removed if/as needed. Just push out the “weight plugs”.

Installed the silicone and lead and mixed

Also added weight to the handle frame with lead shot and black silicone sealant. Taped one side, put in some silicone, added the shot and mixed it up to keep it from rattling and topped it off with a layer of silicone and sealed with tape to smooth it over and allow to cure. Added maybe 2-3 oz...
