Not standard, Nick, the 54 came with a barrel shroud retained by the foresight so I'd imagine it's loctited on.
Good score btw, Looks just like my 54 T01 Air King thingy that I hate.
I've been searching for a .22 springer for the upcoming Springer Bash in June. As per Paul's excellent suggestion, I wanted something not AA or HW. A wanted ad brought forth some truly excellent guns and I was spoilt for choice, but while dropping a couple of guns at a local RFD yesterday I saw a Diana 52 leaning against the counter. It didn't have open sights, but it did have a slim steel mod. "It's just come in in a px" says the fella, "I'll get a price for you and ring you in the morning".
A price was duly given and I went in to collect. On returning to the workshop I noticed something odd. This isn't the Diana 52 I had been expecting, I've been lumbered with a Diana 54 Airking!
can anyone tell me about this mod, is it standard? Can it be removed? (Theres no grub screw)
I want to fit open sights, does anyone have any who wants a mod?

I'll buy the mod if it fits an 80 and it's not damaged on removal mate, atb Daz
TBH it looks more like a muzzle weight than a moddy but I could be wrong. Unless you have a foresight or another mod to put on it I would leave it there - What looks like the barrel is actually a steel tube over a straw barrel.
If you do take it off, measure the barrel and give me a shout - if my modern 54 foresight will fit then you are welcome to it for the cost of postage.
[edit: I may have the rearsight too but I'd have to have a root around the parts bin]

A member of my club has one which I've shot. Very smooth recoilless (or is it semi-recoilless?) action, but by God it's a big gun!

If that moderator is effective, I'd sell the 54 off on here and buy the 48 or 52 or other rifle you've been seeking -
Sportwaffen had some Diana 35 commemorative models in stock cheap
Personally to me, an open sighted springer, is a medium or lightweight break barrel jobbie - so if not HW - Cometa 400, Diana 31/34 compact and variants, maybe a Walther Terrus (though I'm not convinced about the Walthers) .....
