Diana 52 Ultra Carbine.

[Blackrider]

Anybody got one of the above in either calibre ?

Just wondered how they perform being slightly shorter than the full length 52 or the semi-recoilless 54 ?

I think they only came in .22" flavour, John.

I'll let you have a play with my home brewed one next month if you like ? :-

Thanks for this Mick, I'll look forward to having a few shots with it !
.22 cal. is OK actually. Every now and again I do a bit of hide/barn shooting on one of the farms using Fenmans but I sort of fancy one of these "stubby" 52's for the job on a whim really !

Blackpool air Rifles have one in s/h. No affiliation!

hi i got a brand new one a few years back in .22 cal and to be honest it wasn't very good it was twangtastic
i think they would need a lot of work to make a good air rifle the one i had was that bad it killed one of my scopes with in 100 pellets and about every 50 pellets i had to tighten the stock screws up i may have got a bad one but i know i wouldn't buy another one which is a same as i think they are a nice looking air rifle and i have a couple off side levers in my collection
regards shaun

With you being a leftie, John, and especially if operating in confined spaces, I somehow feel that you'd be better served by a smaller break barrel.. Like a 99.

Just checked, it's still there, just after a khamsin

I saw that one but it's not actually an ultra carbine. I fancy swapping my tracker for one.

Yep, found it now, it was the addition of the moddy that threw me.
Unsure if it is the UC version and not a cut-down 52 ?

Pretty sure it is the UC version and not a cut-down 52 !

Ah I'm wrong then. If that's an extra moderator giving it the extra length then could be one. Pity it's lost the foresight.

If it's any help, I have a spare 52 foresight you can have John.

Cheers Mick, if I buy it, I'll come a knocking !

Has anyone had one of these bruisers in FAC form? Wonder what they are capable of and happiest at.

48/52's shoot nice at 21-22fpe. There's plenty of weight to kill the recoil.
