The Lesser Spotted Original/Diana 35

But, and it's a big but, the gun now cocks as smooth as silk and is near enough recoilless --- yes I know everyone says that but this is a really fast firing cycle with very little movement.

Been thinking about this...
It sounds a bit like my experience with the Webley Vulcan: relatively large diameter heavy piston, not too long stroke, small port giving high compression, and VERY nice recoil while still maintaining power when you use a softer spring.

Yes, Evert.

I have a nice MK3 Vulcan that has a very nice firing cycle, with a bore and stroke of 27mm X @80mm (?) and a 270gram piston it performs very nicely --- it's just a shame the breech and trigger let the gun down a bit.



All the best Mick
