[sidelever]

I am attempting to repair a Diana 52 .22,manufactured in 1989.
Unfortunately it has come with a cracked stock running horizontally
from the trigger into the butt,probably been droppedA new stock is nearly 300 quid
Any ideas how to repair or possibilities of a seconhand one?
I would also like to find a slip on silencer.
Thanks in advance for any info/advice.

What about a custom stock from.well, Custom Stocks?

Yeah they aint cheap but they will add value and handling characteristics to the rifle?

As above a nice cs700 would fit a 52 nicely.

i once turned down a broken one at a bootsale for £15, i must have been mad but it was miles to the car and i would have had to carry the heavy sod all round the carboot sale

Here's my present one (it's a beaut but my photographic skills are duff )

Unfortunately the stock had been 'professionally' repaired,but I wouldn't want to trust it with a sling,which I would like as it gets pretty heavy when on HFT or hunting.
I'll keep looking.
I might even find one in the USA,as I am there in January
Thanks for your help.
