I cant believe I did this to one of my Diana Ladys!! I was a nervous wreck. I slept on it last night, this morning I chickened out, then I remembered I said I was going to do it to my forum friends. I had to follow thru! The results are overwealmingly positive!!! The gun cocks easyer than before with the muzzle break from Gene, it handles well, & most important its grouping like a champ! Look at the pic.,,its almost as compact as my little 24! I am just overwealmed at how good this "Shade Tree" mod. came out! Must admit,, Im tuning & replacing a broken spring in my friends Quest, I "chopped" his first!LOL! This was truly sucsessfull & fun day for me. I wont drag this out with all the steps I took to be VERY carefull during this procedure, I was very carefull in all respects. Cant believe I did it! Tim.

Great work Tim and it's alway's scary when you head into a new airgun project. I remember my first tune, ok when I pull the action apart what's dropping out and running away lol. Ed

Hey Bhawanna, Tim here! Not really shure Im the man for the job, first one I have done! (It came out great though!) I love tinkering on airguns so much I would be more inclined to pay you for the privilege of working on your gun! Order a muzzle break from Gene NOW! You are going to need it! I see you live in S.C.,, how far are you from Charleston?? Maybe you could come here on a weekend? We could get your gun done in an hour or two. Maybe a few cold beers & ribeyes on the grill?? You are welcome to my home anytime. "Shoot" me a mail. timmyj1959@yahoo.com Tim.
