    Mounts/Rings Four 1" one-piece scope mounts

    Over time, I have accumulated these four one-piece 1” scope mounts. They have been mounted but are like new and still contain the black adhesive tape the way they are shipped. I see no scratches. I am an old guy and like walnut and steel and two-piece mounts, although the one-piece are probably...

    Sportsmatch arrestor pin - how do you install?

    After the fact, I had to modify it a little. The fit was so tight that I could not get it in the hole and the far rail at the same time. It drove me crazy. I finally tapped it almost all the way in, just enough sticking out to find the pin hole. Once I got both, I tapped it home with a drill...

    Sportsmatch arrestor pin - how do you install?

    Gotta have it. My Diana 34 ems kicks like a mule and does not have a tune kit available yet. It is only 13 foot pounds, or so.

    Sportsmatch arrestor pin - how do you install?

    I found no instructions. Tap with a hammer?

    Diana Sportsmatch mounts

    I have the Diana EMS. The dovetail is machined into the receiver, and barrel droop has not been a problem so far. It does kick like a mule, and I found my scope moving in my mounts. I thought the Sportsmatch might help with that.

    Diana Sportsmatch mounts

    Hello, I need a set of 1" medium 11 mm Sportsmatch scope mounts for my Diana 34. I found one or two on Ebay and was getting ready to order. Then, I looked on Airguns of Arizona, and I found three pages worth. Where do you buy your mounts, and what model would you buy for a two-piece mount for...

    Question for the backyard plinkers

    Every morning, Lowes and Home Depot have a free scrap lumber barrel. They usually have some 3" x 3" x 5' straight boards (not pallet boards). Get some waterpoof carpenter glue and glue as many together as you want. It is hard to miss a 5' x 5' backstop. I got this idea during Covid when...

    Optics Weihrauch 4X A/O scope

    I purchased a Weihrauch air rifle from Airguns of Arizona, and the Elite package deal included this Weihrauch 4X A/O scope. I shoot targets, and I need the better magnification of a 3 x 9 scope. Airguns of Arizona is the only place I have seen them for sale, and they go for $216 plus shipping...

    Diana Diana 34 ems woes

    Thanks for the reply. The rifle is shooting great now. The stock screws are metric, not USA, and I had to get the right tools. I got the trigger weight adjusted to 1 pound and will stay with that. Next, I want to adjust screw #1 and #2 for stage one and two creep. I did not understand your...

    Diana Diana 34 ems woes

    Update: Somehow, I got it working again. The action was extremely stiff when I started. I tweaked it here and there, and it suddenly started cocking again. Thanks for your help.

    Diana Diana 34 ems woes

    I received my new .177 Diana 34 ems wood stock in the mail today. My scope is still in the mail, so I put on a red dot so that I could start the break in. I got zeroed after a few shots. Then, after about 30 shots, I was no longer able to cock the rifle. There was the usual spring resistance...
