2014 6 yard MPL Postal Competition. Autumn/Winter

[zooma]

I am selling my Diana Model 6 and only mention it here as it would make a very good pistol for use in this MPL series .

The pistol is stamped 05 69 so it was made in May 1969 and has the serial number 030469.

The pistol is a true classic as it is one of the very first types of Giss system recoilless air pistols and in use at RMTC this week it shot well with good power and was able to produce a good tight group at 10 metres, so it would be ideal for use in this 6 yard postal competition.

The one piece brown moulded grip is in good condition with very few marks and provides an excellent hand-hold that in previous years ( 1970's !) enabled me to hit several "possibles" at 10 meters with a similar example that I owned at the time. During this time period the Model 6 was the most popular air pistol in club use and was often able to embarrass its newer Model 10 cousin and more expensive Feinwerkbau Model 65 rival.

Condition wise the pistol is very good (better than most that we have seen of this type) and at £130.00 it is not too expensive for a recoilless match pistol. It is also not "pellet fussy" and shoots well with GECO, Hobby, RWS CO2 and R10.

The pistol can be seen, inspected and shot by anyone that may like to buy it or I can post it to (almost) any UK mainland address for £10.00 if the buyer is unable to travel to collect it.
