Diana 30 Military Trainer in as good of condition as you could hope for

This Diana 30 is such a hoot in the backyard. The tap is my favorite type of airgun. Gives me the feel of a more manageable Hakim but still a military feel. Crazy accurate but you have to hold it with care cause it’s lighter and can jump.

Must admit I enjoy mine. It propels Hobbys at over 500 FPS and is quite smooth to use.

I used it in a vintage competition at Bisley some years ago and she scored quite well against the BSAs and Webley Services that others were using. Tiny sight though!

Kind regards,

John

I’ve been taking mine out quite a bit now and I do think it would be a hoot in a vintage competition. It has a much thinner cylinder than my other trainers and it really lends itself to being a target rifle with much less snap than in my more powerful training rifles. It would be a real sleeper against a BSA Light? Lol But unfortunately here nowhere to shoot vintage.

Hi, Cannot get over the amazing condition of your rifle. Your climate is kind to gun blue, seen some pics of fantastic etched Bsa underlevers on your side of the Atlantic. Was the Diana 30 exported to the USA before WW2 ? Or has your example made its way there independantly.

I don’t think these were ever imported. Bought at auction have no idea of its origin but GI’s brought back a lot of German guns.
