Or the proper name of 'Gissche Gegenkolbensystem'. I've been enamored by these Giss airrifles and nearly everyone in the picture has been stripped, relubed, resealed, and resprung.

I don't know what it is, but, I see these Giss' and I can't turn them away. Each one is so interesting to fix-up.

The Diana 6G with new seals and original spring still is underperforming. Shooting 395 fps with Hobby's. A new spring will soon arrive to revive the velocity.

The Diana 75 is a joy to shoot, I just can't put it down. Now I see why the shooting teams use them.

What is not in the picture are two (RH) Diana 66's the stocks need to be refinished. Also a left-hand Diana 60 finger-groove. It's currently apart and ready for the bluing spa. It's waiting on an HW55S and the two will be off to the spa. But, I've got my work cut-out for me on the stock restoration on both of them.

In a couple of months, I'll have some more Giss family pictures
