So i got myself a neutered (156m/s~510fps with 7.8grain pellets) Diana Bandit in .177 from Germany (they have a 7½joule~5.5fpe rule for unregistered airguns).
Took a 2mm~47AWG drillbit to the brass transfer port and got 178m/s~584fps (original fitted a 1.2mm~56AWG drillbit).
Same drillbit down the valve body (standard fitted a 1.4mm~54AWG drillbit) and now it's a frisk 223m/s~731fps. Now were cooking with gas.
Mine came fitted with a silencer from the factory and for some strange reason they turned the baffles 180degrees the wrong way!
Nice silencer and it does a fairly decent job regarding sound muffling, but it was installed with lots of Locktite so tools was used to tear it off the first time.
And the stock, man oh man! That thing fits a ham fisted gorilla not my small greasy mittens. So some preliminary sanding and in the near future some range time.
Fitted a 40mm red dot sight and now the magpies better beware ;-)
