This rifle is on my list of break barrel rifles I have yet to shoot but really want to. Enjoy it

The Diana 45 was the first of the Magnum springers it could reach about 14 ft/lbs, remember this was before the hw80.
Although it is a robust airgun it did have a bit of a easy to bend barrel but has a solid lock up using twin springs behind the ball catch.
I'm not sure why it had the stock pin going through the trigger and the trigger did need some new parts if worn to keep it safe so be aware of this
One part that impressed me is the high quality piston sleeve, I have not seen better
I mucked up the 45 I once had by shorting the barrel to 12 ins, although it solved the barrel bending but it lost a lot of power.

right got it in me mits right now its got a kassnar 3x9 scope on it and an air logic silencer and adaptor ! not really as bad as I first thought TBH
the date says 08 85 and made in west germany everything works but the stock has a crack in it where the front stock screw screws indont seem to move though but I will need to sort it out
so overall its quite nice and seems to be shooting full power ( will chrono it sunday ) anyone any idea of the best pellets ?

I agree that Superdomes and FTT's work very well , although I've found Bisley Practice work at least as good as these in my .22 45's. Crosman Premiers worth a try.
As far as bent barrel syndrome is concerned, none of my 45s have been thus afflicted.
Hope you enjoy your time with the 45. Ive always found them hard to beat.
