    Ahh, sorry, I've not had the pleasure of owning one
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Tinbum has and I don't think it was a pleasure .

    Tinbum =Yep, I did have a brief dalliance with Diana rifles, but you are right. They're shit.
    Barryg =Can you be more specific and helpful ?
    Tinbum=Yes, I used to think HW were the best run of the mill manufacturer, then I thought Diana offered something that the HW mark was missing.
    Then I found out Diana's are shonkily made and according to this ( the video of the latch rod pulling out was in there ), potentially dangerous.

    On the theme of the person behind the trigger #5. Here's the reason the pellets got stuck in the barrel. Hilti nail/pellet?

    A friend of mine used to do stuff like that . Home made darts out of nails with tufts of wool to act as tail to make it fly straight . Or the ends of shoe laces with a needle through it .

    He would wonder why it did not work right after that . An old BSA Meteor ,It was almost spotless when he got it . His dad took it off him and put it in the metal skip at his work when he caught him shooting it in the garden and just dartboard as a backstop with a main road behind it


    He does paintball now
