I had so much enjoyment out of restoring and improving the old 392PA pumper, that I have been looking for another older airgun to restore. Not knowing for sure the vintage or particulars about this specific air rifle I figured $220.00 dont buy much these days, so I made the offer, and the seller accepted it.
I know a lot of folks love the Model 34 Diana for its low cost reliable performance. But I don't know how far that goes back? I liked this stock even without the pad the newer guns have, mainly for the cheekpiece, and the Monte Carlo. I figured on installing the Vortek PG4-HO tune kit and new seals in it. As well as taking the wood finish down to bare wood and refinishing it with a final Satin finish.
My concerns are will the tune kit work? I am not sure if this is the T-01 or T-05 trigger, I know its not the T-06, which I am fine with any of the three, they are all plenty good for a field gun to me.
I need some guidance here, will this Tune kit work? Is their better tune kits for Performance and accuracy with 7.8 to 11 grain pellets? but most of all, are these older Made In Germany models as good as the new? I know this is a Made In Germany rifle, so,,, how did I do, and what do I do know? Thanks ahead for any light on this new venture I'm partaking in!!
