    Great gun and well worth tuning, but why is it being touted as a .177 Imp? Its far bigger with much more swept volume, larger in both bore and stroke. The 280 is more "99-esque" in size.

    No, just put plenty of grease into the speaker.

    The SFS 34 looks a very nice performer and the accuracy looks phenomenal in this guys hands. It's good to see a Diana getting this treatment.
    I have a .177 34 myself which I'm very happy with. I was in no hurry to have it tuned until i saw this one. I hope the 34 is a success for them and will get more people into the marque. I don't think that is a daft price for what should be a great springer.

    Some say putting half a tube of grease in is the main part. Chop a bit of the barrel on some rifles . Bit of a de burr and put it back together then put a sticker on the compression tube and charge you about £100.


    To be honest .

    De burr the coking slots . Smith off rough parts . Polish trigger parts . Modify triggers if needed . Change the spring guides for better fitting ones . Chop the barrel on some rebuild and put a sticker on it.

    Same as many tuners on here or other forums can do or supply bits so you can do it yourself .
