Thanks for all your help guys - the marvellous chaps at Park Street Guns were able to match Proteks price, so a deposit has been paid and I should be able to pick it up next saturday

Apparently, supplies of all new Diana's are slow in coming through to dealers from Edgar's and/or Germany. There's always something working against Diana in the UK, it seems.

Protek still has one in stock AFAIK - basically i called my local shop and asked what the score was with having guns sent to them, they said it was oka s long as it wasn't something they could source themselves it was fine, give them half an hour, Called back and they could get it for just under what it would have cost to post it to them. Probably saved £60

Edgar Bros thought he had the last one yesterday when i spoke to them. Just seems strange that there so difficult to get hold of yet if you want a k98 your Quid's in.Why didn't I think of calling Ronnies?

I had a Diana 54 AirKing in .22.
I thought it very heavy and not as well balanced as my old Airsporter or the newer Prosport.
The semi-recoiless action worked well.
The gun has a massive chamber and is really designed for FAC level rather than 12ft lbs. I did toy at the time about getting it uprated to FAC but ended up with an Eliminator instead which I found equally unusable.
If confined to 12ft lb then I would recommend .177 rather than .22 but I would say that about any air rifle after being for years a .22 fan.

As someone said there seems to be something working against Diana in this country.

Apart from the Airking, RS had a good few Diana's displayed on the stand yesterday.
If there is some sort of an issue importing the brand into the UK, Ronnie isn't suffering from it !
There was a 52 and the two newish big air rifles, the 470TH and the 56TH side lever as well as several other springers.
Their prices were very good !

Yeah, on examination, I'd go along with that !
Its a big old hefty beast which would take an FAC upgrade pretty well !
I'm "On ticket" with other stuff and I frequently think about getting a variation for an "Air slot" and upgrading my 80 .22.
Obviously, this Airking can stand alongside the HW 80 in the queue if I ever go go down that route !
Ta !

Blackrider, did you get a chance to mention the broken T06 trigger part that is of concern at the DIana stand while you were at the BS Show?
