Diana Shooting that New springer.

I'm going to be receiving my new springer soon a Diana Two Fifty 250 that I scooped up new for $99.99 , and got free shipping. And here is my plan to get it ready , but first an acknowledgement of my appreciation , and my gratitude over the past 9 months for all the help I have received , things I've learned , and insight I been given by the people here on this great AGN. My plan : Clean the barrel with my weed eater line pull through to get that pasty factory preservative out of the barrel. Next tighten all the loose screws . I will add a small drop of silicone oil to the breach seal ( the little O ring where you load pellets into the barrel ). I'm going to shoot some 120 pellets to begin the initial break in. If anyone wants to jump in with other advice feel free this will be my very first new springer (gas ram) that I have ever owned. OV.
 
Not a drop. Wipe the silicone oil on. The breech seal if you must. Make sure you dry patch the barrel several times after the solvent. You don't want any solvent residue in there because it can detonate which is that loud crack like a 22lr that happens when you dry fire it.

Smoking is normal for the first few hundred shots.

Enjoy the new gun. It always exciting getting one.

if you use your left hand to cock the barrel , keep hold of the barrel and i then put the stock into my left armpit . Now you holding the gun safely and the barrel cannot accidently fly shut . load your pellet .
