If you can give it a good home Paul, then please go ahead and add it yo your collection

I'd love to Pete, I just couldn't do it at the Bash. Don't want to stepson any toes though so I'll wait to hear from Melv

You won't be stepping on my toes mate, if you like it then please go ahead and buy it, there's nothing set in stone between Melv and me, I just showed an interest in a lovely rifle, if I had the money yesterday, then I would have had it but I should really be spending the money on getting other projects finished.

Just to let everybody know that was interested in my Diana 34, Hellequin has made a firm offer for it and if and when I sell my Original 50E I will sell the Diana to Paul.

As I told Tony yesterday I am only selling both guns to fund another Bell Target gun that a member at our club is selling. If I am unable to get a buyer for the Original 50E I will not be selling the Diana.

I have informed Paul (Hellequin)of this.

Cheers everybody for your interest.

Hi, yes it probably would be best to put the parts next to each other to see if they match or try seeing if they fit. There is a seal conversion kit available for the 50 but the postage from Germany makes it rather expensive, plus the piston in the 50 looks like it was made a couple of hundred years ago compared to the 34 one.

As a rough idea the 50 piston is 28mm dia, 127mm long piston inc seal & total length inc seal & latch rod is 172mm.


.

Right then, I've roughly measured it with a measuring tape, so give or take a mm, I know they are 28mm girth, piston body length is 136mm and total length is 178mm, so I recon it may well work, it would just short stroke it a few mm's if my way of thinking is right.
