    I like the look of the actions, but the stocks are really ugly
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    While not handsome, I think they look pretty damned decent. Someone is at least trying over in Rastatt.

    Have moved factory - they are now in Eissen (or similar), the old factory at Rastatt was too big and too unsuited to modern production methods.

    Regarding the P1000 - I've always quite liked that European Hunting style (seperate fore and aft stocks, low comb) with the mark II's they seem to have made the front part of the action more 'sculpted' and improved (increased) the checkering on the stocks. The minor indexing issue was sorted ages ago but the mechanism is fiendishly complex, anything could be going-on in there

    Do you have a address for the new factory? I would like to see what it looks like

    I kind of thought the old factory looked impressive

    The Rastatt address is still stated on their contacts page for correspondence (offices?). The Ense address is stated for "repairs".

    This has been discussed before.

    If Edgar Bros are the new distributor for Diana, why are SMK still advertising them?

    Is it just a case of selling off old stock?

    I could live with them, but I'm a dyed in the wool springer man, Saying that, I fancy one of those N-tec's.
    Diana only has Edgar Bros as their UK distributor on their website. SMK didn't try very hard with the brand after all. The prices through EB are more realistic too.
