Should all the screws on the underside of the 54 be tight? The whole mechanism slides back and forth in stock. The manual does not say. Crow
54 question
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Absolutely not. Part of tuning the 54 is adjusting the forward screw. MCoulter had a great write up on this earlier.

I sent him a text. Hopefully he will chime in. I tried the search engine and did not get any of his posts. I do know he posted in multiple forums. You might find more information elsewhere.

Hi guys,
Yes, I had a few threads on the GTA German airgun gate where I was learning about the D54's sled action. Here are the links:

Probably the simplest way I can explain what I liked for screw tightness to set them tight enough to keep the sled from moving when you point the gun upwards, but loose enough that when holding the gun vertically that tapping the butt of the gun on the ground would dislodge the sled and allow it to slide.
Set these screws too tight and you lose the benefit of the sled and too loose and you'll lose accuracy as things wobble around.

The real wealth of knowledge on all things Diana is Hector Medina who is often in the GTA German gate and AG Warriors.
