Hi all,
This is my Diana 48 that I bought last fall. I’ve shot a few thousand pellets through it at this point. It’s certainly a quality piece, even if I’m not as accurate as others in this forum.
That said, I like to tinker… First thing I did was fit a Williams target peep sight. Had to make a small cut in the stock, but the sight picture was so worth it! Still needs some stain though.
Next, I noticed some pellets had fallen from the breech and damaged the breech seal. The gun was blowing gas and pellets all over the place. So I sat on my hands for a few months while a set of vortex seals and a Tinbum maxi kit came in.
Once I got those put in it, the shot cycled turned from sprrrrrrroiiiiiinnnngggggg to a nice sharp crack. That combined with some JSB Exact Heavies and Monsters, I’m feeling hopeful for the future with this fräuline.
Can’t wait for the Finnish cold to finally depart so I can train in comfort, and earnest once again.
Thanks for reading!
PS if anyone would be interested in purchasing brass barrel trunions and front sight bases, let me know! I am thinking about designing some for a CNC company to make.
