Thinking about reducing the power of a Diana 54

If i reduce the power (say 11 FPE ) can the sled be adjuster accordingly ?

There should be a tension screw

wonder if the UK version can be had in USA ? probably special order ?
Probably but there’s no difference other than the spring and sled adjustment. Any good tuner can do it. I don’t think the TP hole size is smaller on the UK version either.

Now that is another odd way of detuning I have heard of. A spring clip & a possible roll pin placed in the transfer port. Restriction of TP but for smoothness and harmonic detune. A sub 12 spring, sleeved/buttoned.
Motorhead Scott, John in Pa will work on RWS 54’s. Probably others. Not everyone likes working on the sidelevers.
