Hello again last year a friend of mine asked me if I could have ago at sorting his Diana 79
he said it was the last rifle that his granddad brought not long before he sadly past away and for the last 25yrs it had been left and forgotten in a shed anyway this is what he brought to me the following week

yep bit of a mess to say the least with heavy rust and deep pitts but I do love a challenge so stripped her down and started the prep

and after a few hours the cylinder was starting to take shape now I do all prep work by hand so no machines what so ever and must say I love it (er-indoors says I'm strange) anyway heres the end result

Nice work there. I must admit I was expecting to see a Scottish Diana G79 rather than an Original. Is it a 35?

Tuning Walther LP53s with stainless steel parts for guys on here....the challenge of going from 1.2 inch groups at 10mtrs to 22mm and from 350 fps to 470 fps

I got a Yunkers AK74 last week, one of those Russian ones that are basically the real thing, made in the same factory but converted to co2. Its a beast of a gun weighing nearly 8lb, and I have had the happy job for the last few nights finding a genuine paratrooper folded AK case, cleaning kit, cleaning rod, strap and side mounted scope rail.

That was a job I really enjoyed!

Hi Ozgood,

Looks like a good rescue to me. What did you use to black the rifle?

Cheers

Magic. You have converted a Milbro 79 into a German Diana/Original 35.

Sure you got the right "after" pic?
