calling all cars !!! Fellow airgunner needs help!?!?!

[desertplinkr]

I am in the Western Suburbs of Chicago and will be here all summer on a family medical emergency. All my airgun stuff is in Arizona. I just purchased a used Diana 34 with To6 trigger to have something to shoot for the summer and have not shot it yet. But when you cock it there is lots of friction and noise. I ordered a JM tune kit and I am looking for someone to install it without having to ship rifle. Any help would be much appreciated.

I’m not familiar with that gun, but most Springers are fairly easy to work on. Biggest worry is something to press the spring preload. Do a search on YouTube and see what you see.

You can quiet it down just by putting some JM Heavy Tar on the spring through the cocking slot with a suitable pointy stick. Probably doesn't need a full tune.

I decided to go where this man has never gone before. I bought a JM tune kit and spring compressor and I am going to attempt to tune it myself. Watch this space.

Be very very careful when compressing the spring. All that energy can really hurt a guy if it accidentally comes loose during the spring installation process.

I'd suggest a football helmet, safety glasses. hockey mitts, and a "cup" for your jock strap!!!



Be safe,
