I'm resealing my Diana mod. 10 and I've slipped in some at the bottom of the spring guide tubes where the springs rest. I finally got around to mastering the reseal for the Mod's 6 and 10 which have the Giss system. Of all the different types of recoil containment I think the Giss does the best job. They are nice to shoot,a little strange even at first. I always like a nice spring piston recoiler though. Have you noticed the smoothness in the cocking and firing ? It's worth the light power reduction when the spring is shortened I think.You gain some back when the nylon washers/bushings are installed. I've never had much dieseling from my 45's. Right now I've got all three calibers. I'll be selling one soon,the 20 cal. I'm putting a bunch of items up for sale in the next day or two.10 or 12 pistols and some assorted hand grips and barrels. One barrel is a .22 cal. for the HW 45. .....Well I'm rambling....Gonna go run up to my pistol nook and shoot before the
Mrs. gets home. Chow
