I've not much of a clue to be honest. I think they are both about an inch bore. I'd guess the Cadet is a shorter stroke and maybe the Major is closer to the Meteor. I've never checked a Diana 25 or 27 piston against a Cadet or Major--------or whether you could put a piston rod and use a Cougar piston!Originally Posted by Hsing-ee
Someone did me a .22 (B2 I think) barrel on a Cadet and it was pretty crappy to shoot. They also have a barrel of a scrap Webley Mk3 to fit in a Cadet block, when they are up to it, health wise.
I know you are not going to get a lot of power out of a Cadet, but I was just curious.
Cadets are "nearly" guns. It they had better front stock screws, and the one piece stock, then they are "nearly" right . ----------No spreading breech jaws. No leaky cylinders like some guns ("cough cough") , very low, solid sights, not prone to breaking, and heavy enough to club someone to death with! The AK47 of air rifles
