They look fantastic.
Or the proper name of 'Gissche Gegenkolbensystem'. I've been enamored by these Giss airrifles and nearly everyone in the picture has been stripped, relubed, resealed, and resprung.
I don't know what it is, but, I see these Giss' and I can't turn them away. Each one is so interesting to fix-up.
The Diana 6G with new seals and original spring still is underperforming. Shooting 395 fps with Hobby's. A new spring will soon arrive to revive the velocity.
The Diana 75 is a joy to shoot, I just can't put it down. Now I see why the shooting teams use them.

What is not in the picture are two (RH) Diana 66's the stocks need to be refinished. Also a left-hand Diana 60 finger-groove. It's currently apart and ready for the bluing spa. It's waiting on an HW55S and the two will be off to the spa. But, I've got my work cut-out for me on the stock restoration on both of them.
In a couple of months, I'll have some more Giss family pictures
They look fantastic.
They look mint, nice job.

Hiya mate, I do agree with you, Unless one has fired one of these, Rifle or Pistol, They will never know the " Eerie " Feel of shooting one !

Original Mod 10-

What a lovely collection. Thank you for sharing, Chuck.
I've never used a Giss system gun, but whenever I see one for sale I am tempted. Everything I read about them is good.

Gedfin. Your 10 has a barrel weight which the 6M lacks.
Only other difference that I know is that the 6M is very accurate and the 10 is amazingly accurate!
