    Diana Series 70 Model 71 in the Box

    SOLD STU, thank you Roll


    Continuing my attempted airgun/shooting gear clearout.

    Another one of them rare Dianas , mind you I've only ever seen one other one as well as mine.

    In the manly .22 cal, date stamped on the stock, 6 76 6, which I imagine is the 6th June 1976.

    The metalwork/bluing is near perfect. There is even some quite nice grain figuring for a beech stock.

    It's obviously only been little used and there are some light scratches in lacquer coating of the stock, nothing deep, but for a 34 year old rifle it's in exceptional condition.

    The box has seen better days, but it's mostly there and has that nice 70's appeal. The Diana medallion is nice touch as well, there is a chunky metal trigger blade, most Dianas of this vintage had plastic ones.

    The open sights are all present and correct.

    A slideshow HERE. Lots of high res close up images.


    £125 plus postage please.

    If I die, please don't let my wife sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them!

    To help, here is some more info on the M-D "Major" Series 70 Mod. 71, courtesy of the sales thread for the .177 version of the same that I sold on here only last week. Rare rifles indeed, and highly collectable.
