  1. Thanks Mel , all collected and even dropped off the items I know a friend will use. Nothing to waste here. All the best ,thank you for your generosity Merry Christmas
  2. Hi great offer and I could use a few of these items and I know of a fella to utilise the others. Will private message re collection if not gone. Thank you
  3. Best tune I've done on bsa supersport is as follows. Rear steel standard guide polished in and out. Cocking slot de bured polished. In piston and cylinder. Piston weight added chambers sell these or you could use a pound coin faces smoothed and polished.titan no 1 spring or o m spring polished ends. Supersport should already have spring sleeve fitted. Use hw 35/80 transfer seal for better seal. Redbeck shooting supplies were cheapest for seals springs last I looked. Best pellets I found were rws hobbies in .22accurate as he'll up to 100ft. Rws superdomes great too.hobbies really sing. As for trigger spray it out with brake cleaner and either use a oil or 're grease with Molly grease on cotton ear budds. Both my supersport are stunningly accurate and have silky action I actually love the supersport very underrated. Best spring is a v mach spring as are v Mach main seal however o m black seals are very robust If you do nothing else try rws hobbies
  4. Personally IDE eBay it in seperate lots,,barrel loved by custom tuners 30.00. Stock 20 pluss ,action cylinder with trigger and internals 20 -30 .if it has it's open original sights they sell for 20 alone.make a few quid on postage .easy money.
  5. . agreed rws lead,super domes I love in most my BSA ,Diana's fwb Annie's pretty much most my rifles. In my supersport which is tuned mind I can take drawing pins out of paper with rws hobbies in.22 at aprox 70 ft if I am resting against a bench with my arm never a top rifle but under estimated all the same. For a flat headed pellet I find them stunning.rws hobbies . I never change from one pellet to another as that too can upset accuracy.try a few samples and stick with it. As said some pellets suit other rifles better than other.no one will be best in all but generally with all mine I use rws .except wealter match barrels then I use crosman prem in the box from one die.
  6. This would make some lad a cracking field rifle ,the older supersports are great .the leaver should once stocks removed slot easily back in to place once stocks removed. Wish I were closer . Birmingham made BSA are better than latest Spanish supersports triggers especialy.

    FAC silencer

    Hogan decimeater but I'm told no longer made .solid stripable quiet.
  8. Yes I should have added compared too the sideleavers .but I'm sure people know what I meant . Thank you for pointing it out in any case.
  9. 460mag is a very accurate rifle I believe it sits in 2 nd place in Diana's power class only the 350 mag producing slightly more. Both produce more than the side leavers .obviously differences to the 48/52/54 are their break barrel and under leader . The 54 as you know is very capable very capable in both accuracy and power ,and as the 48/52 share the same internals cylinder so on are equally capable and fantastic field rifles. With basic simple fettling can be much improved too. Better in .22 I feel . The ultra carbine dispute it's barrel length has no accuracy issues ,I intend to buy another however some report issues due to the restrictor in transfer making for not such a smooth 're shot action as earlier models .easily sorted. If you use a moderator they will silence to a dull thud . Myself I prefer the earlier t01 models as I just love the smooth trigger others prefer latter type .early have slightly longer stroke too. Whilst I love my airkings on a bench ,the 52 is favoured in field . For a short period diana produced a thumbhole walnut original model 52 classic which come up occasionally for sale which are a fantastic improvement to hold over the standard stock for me in any case.. If just a field rifle ide go 48 /52 which should be cheaper with plain stock,great in 177 for faster fps ,but .22 on fac or if it's your preference cal. If you want better stock go for 52 .or walnut laminated stock which look peach..which ever you choose it won't disappoint . I don't get on with under leavers myself . Good luck . Ultra carbine yummy .22
  10. Awesome glad your enjoying the side leaver. As above I too love all things German and Diana.your moderator looks to be a rws type that unscrews in to several pieces. I have tried a lot of internals in this unit if indeed it is the rws type . These really do quieten down a hell of a lot with a larger dia mod simular in size to hogan,hw,so on.personaly found hogan the quitest . What lead you finding works well rws superdome so on work for me. I was lucky enough to buy several 52 t hole classics over time and not that I'm a lover of t h stocks but found it beneficial on the 52s .beautiful rifle .single biggest improvement I made was adding a 1mm ptfe spring sleve as their very very loose inside causing bent springs over time. What year manufacture is yours ?.date stamp rear cylinder just above stock ?.
  11. The box says great Britain. These are old my guess pree 80 as post we were known as UK mostly.never gonna be worth too mutch but collectors will pay out for such things to go with a boxed pistol ,rifle which may have contained freebies.
  12. No expert on lead ,but caledonians havnt been in cardboard for years.best guess keep them together stick then on ebay.people collect lead even tins alone.cardboard cartons are lesser seen.

    Remove stock retaining bolts .remove side leaver via pins.remove action from stock.use spring compressor unit and a specialty shaped piece of wood against plastic unit at back of trigger unit if its not good fit you could damage it.add pressure enough so as the 2 pins through rear if cylinder will tap out gently or push out once 2 puns out slowly release pressure the trigger init will come out in one guide and spring with it.draw back piston compression sleve so as you can see into breech area.you will see a access hole in face of cylinder tube .use Allen key to remove bolt completely.then pull out connecting block for rod.no tricks .simple to do these.check out dianawerkcollective networt 54 rws 54 trigger tune.theirs a usefully guide on further improvements on t01.and other to improve recoil systerm.

    rws54

    The v mach kit works very well as do vortek kits.you should already have a synthetic rear guide fitted.if its not too under powered I would just strip clean ,make a ptfe spring sleve from .50mm relube and refit.if it is underpowered sleve will raise it some.these are sweet shooting .enjoy ya ratting with your howitzer .over kills on the menu.oh just to add if you do kit it out please make sure you debure and polish any edges that potentialy can damage your seal on refit.rws are well finished but I have seen some not so.enjoy.
  20. Looking for a Diana side leaver rifle,prefer.22 consider other cals.condition not too important.please private message me.thank you.

    Fed up!

    Think yourselves lucky guys,I've been out of the field 3 years following back operation for injury.slow recovery.but looking forward to a time I may get out their ..enjoy it for me..
  22. I have rifles that do not suit me.for instance a 97k .20 venom custom.this is a fantastic rifle.my old man in his late 70s standing will out shoot me by inches.I cannot shoot it for toffee as good as it is.then I have lesser rifles fwb 124,bsa supersport ,rws 45 I can shoot very well.I think someone else already said get a buddy to try it..nice to see your still working in the issue.if at first.good luck.
  23. Pretty good ideas above ,bsa supersport would be my choice.full power ,accurate,changed little in over 20 years.I find .22 less recoiling.but 177 faster fps,love rws leads.and very light and easy to handle for younger shooters.prefer brum made pree gamo Spanish .but then nothing wrong with gamo magnum 3000.as good as.
  24. As said Google,from experiance the cougar is low power ,tried springs ,new leather seals ,synthetic seal too..pustobs are not too well made on these and if memory serves has a joint in length not secured or welded.if your leather seal is not damaged soak it in silicon oil to expand it some.pitty they look good and the shoulder stock was a great add on just on the wrong pistol "scorpion ?".I think meteor spring we tried Titan xs .breech wise from memory we used bsa type and tried hw 80 seal but I cant remember but still no improvement.still love the look.chambers gunmakers.john knibbs international too may have spares.
