Hardest gun to strip?

[Luftgewehr100]

Diana 60, 65 and 66

gave my 65 to a specialist who once worked at Diana and he managed to change the 2 springs

I've got my 66 down to an art now. The Diana 75 I've not tackled yet though. Like a 66 but with even more parts

Its definitely true, once when you keep repeating the same repair it becomes old hat. I struggled with my first Original Model 6M years ago, but now it is a simple job when you know the correct procedure and what to look out for. I think Lawrie could assemble a Crosman 600 in the dark. We had to assemble our L1A1 SLR in the Royal Marines blindfolded. A lot easier than most air rifles.

As long as the gas plug or spring didn't go flying!!

Owned and done both, had the springs and ratchet / twin opposing piston mechanisms out on both, bit of a pig to reassemble but easier the second time.

If you take the action out of the stock on an Original 75, take one look at the complexity of the cocking mechanism and put it back in the stock !

I posted on here a couple of years back about my one ( which I’ve still got ), it had been given to me to sort out and keep as it would cock but not fire , after much help from members on here including one from Sweden who sent me images of the cocking mechanism on his, I deduced that one of the adjustable ‘slides’ was about 10mm out, I adjusted that to match the image he sent me and it cocked and fired straight away.

Incidentally they’re an incredibly accurate 10m gun, from bench resting mine on a bean bag, several times I’ve split a playing card edge on at 30yrds, admittedly with a 4 x 32 scope fitted !

Hello to All,

For similarity to an evil jig-saw puzzle, a full strip of the FWB65 pistol.

One of the 'why the F did I do this' moments

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards
