With the recent post about the child size Diana 72, I thought I would share this pair. Vintage 1990 model 70 and 72. 70 needed nothing when I got it and the 72 was rebuilt by David Slade late last year. Don’t see either of these often so pretty stoked to have the pair in my collection. For perspective on size, I’m included them pictured with an early Beeman R-7.

Those are pretty cool! Are they GISS break barrels? I'm going to need to find me one of those

The 72 is a giss rifle while the 70 is a typical springer. They are quite uncommon and not seen often.

You are going to love the giss when you find one (or two) IT is like your thinking of pulling the trigger ......but you already did and heard the pellet hit Diana model 60 is also under a few names . mine is under Ceco name , i thought it was just a springer and unfamiliar name .
another name is Hy-Score model 810

The 72 is based off the model 6 air pistol and the 70 is based off the model 5 spring pistol. They just made youth rifles out of both air pistol actions.

What a pair!
Thank you for sharing. These are on a lot of wanted lists by collectors. Fine examples you have there.
