Having picked up a couple of these over the years, I've come to appreciate the quality of engineering and finish that went into the gun. The gun was Diana or at that stage Originals offering to the bit of a power kick that was going on back in the late 70s and early 80s.
However many who have owned this gun will know it was a great deal.more than just a dustbin driller. Its quality shines through from its trigger mechanism (ok the blade itself is a bit pants), but its feel is as good as anything modern. Its barrel hinge arrangement, its underlever and cocking shoe. Its accuracy put many of its contemporaries to shame and will still give a few modern offerings a run for the money.
My question is, bearing in mind we have had a re- born FWB Sport back on the scene after many years- would/could a reintroduction of the 45 be feasible or indeed successful in today's climate? Diana have one of the most extensive range of guns as it is- but do people think there is a market for it to come back into the range?
