    any ideas what this is

    posting this for someone else as there membership hasnt been approved by the mods yet so here goes ........he says ...the stamp to the right of the 2nd pic says "made in ModerN England"
    and the edge on the stamp on the top of the 2nd pic says "ModerN"

    he also wants to know what calibre it is and how to load it as it seems smaller than 177

    i thought diana model 1 ....... cheers all

    It looks like a Diana model 1 to me (less trigger guard) too.
    It should say to the right on the second photo

    Hello all, thanks for the replys and thats to snipper uk for posting this for me. My acount want's activated because it was 'in the moderation que' but now it has been.

    Yes i'm also now convinced that it is the Diana mod 1 but there are no stamps sugesting so. Also I have never been able to fire this rifle (pased down to me but my dad has to hold it fore me as i'm only 15) because i dont know what it takes, .177 pelets are too big? some one mentiond 'slugs' any info on them?

    Cheers and thanks again to snipper uk.

    It might take those small 4.40 BBs that are used in some of the repeating Haenals.

    What I would do with it is get some pellets and 'size' them by pushing them through another airgun's barrel. I'd use RWS Hobby because they are cheap and soft. These will probably fit OK.

    Good idea about puting the pelets through another .177 but the whole on the diana is far to small for a .177 and i dont think it will help. but I will give it a go!

    Any other ideas?
