Diana 34 .22, T05 Trigger, 2004 spring piston rifle that I won at an auction from Gun Broker. BTW, I had this out for a shoot and it is a tack driver! #airgun #hunting
Hello again. Regarding the copper penny, I got that tip from Cumberland Outdoors. I removed my rust by just rubbing metal to metal, If the pitting is pretty bad, you can dip the penny in a solvent like kerosene to loosen the deposits. This is my second channel with a little more interesting content. It is not a money maker and I am not soliciting business.
I love that era of Diana’s. I have T05 D24 in .22 I bought in 2003, amazing trigger, same wood finish, and just wood butt no pad. I love the exposed breech block look, everyone recesses the block back into the stock nowadays. That’s a heck of a deal, and the refinishing will be fun and rewarding.
Nice purchase, one can't go wrong with a German Diana. And you have the advantage of being able to tinker it yourself. I have been thinking of getting an inexpensive B3 to start myself.
Great win Chuck!! Super project to work on, Im sure after some hard work you will get it back to brilliant condition. Seems really smooth when cocking from the video. Have a great Sunday
Thank you Anton.😃👍 I did some serious work on the outside and especially the internals. Scoped it and went out with Christopher for a short shoot and it was stacking pellets at about 23 yards.
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 that's amazing Chuck!!! Not only are the Diana's top quality but I think their barrels are really good too. My 48 is just as accurate as my weihrauchs.
Thank you Nibs.🙂👍 I went through the rifle, cleaning rust and the internals. Went for a short shoot with my boy and it was tack driving the Crosman Premiere Hollow Point!
@@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 0000 steel wool - Many years ago I spoke with a gentleman that restored firearms at a museum, that was his suggestion and I've used it hundreds of times in the past 50 odd years. It does not damage the finish and removes rust. . Just remove the stock, let the gun soak overnight, then gently use the steel wool. I hope you find the results as amazing as I have over the years.
I think that for the trigger screw, all the way in is the heaviest break weight and backed out lightens the trigger break weight. My trigger breaks at under a pound and the screw was backed out about a 1/16 or more of an inch when it came to me. My 1993 T01 came with the screw all the way in and I backed it out 3/4 of a turn and that dropped the break weight to below 1 lbs. I hope that helps.
@springpistonriflefeverlone9611 Sorry I missed your response. Yes, your information is very useful, turns out the rifle is a 1968 model with a T01 trigger. I have put a vortek spring kit in. It's a great shooter. The trigger is awesome as is, but I may fool around with it this weekend.
Thanks for a good interesting video chuck look forward to seeing this girls new journey. Alan
Thank you Alan!😃👍

Now I want a Diana 24 lol.
It's cocking really smooth i can feel that
Yes, it is well broke in.
Now, I have been through the rifle, inside is clean, but the outside needs some serious cleaning.
Always enjoy seeing air rifles of all kinds. Springers, pumpers, and PCP’s
Pellet pushers , how can you go wrong, thanks for sharing
Thank you so much 😃👍

Ps good luck with your B3 project. 😃👍
Looks Good -- Sounds Smart💯👍😎
Thank you so much Bob😃👍

If you decide to refinish the stock you can buy a rubber butt pads and spacers that are made to be sanded down to fit the stock if I remember right.
Thank you Charles 🙂👍
Nice one Chuck! Too bad it was neglected. But I bet it will still be great
Thank you Nibs.🙂👍

Find a pre-1960 something pure copper penny. It will remove the rust without disturbing the bluing. I talk about it on my Remington Summit video,
Thank you for the tip.🙂👍
I will check out your video.
I keep looking for an older Diana and still none available yet, one will pop up before too long I'm sure
Every one that I have is a shooter. That says a lot about Diana. 😃👍
Good luck with your search. 🔎
Diana 34 for $180 w tax and shipping is a great deal 👍 also when you cock it sound pretty smooth
Thank you 🙂👍 Yes, extremely smooth.
Rust
Soak in Break Free CLP - then lightly go over with 0000 steel wool.

I am picking up a second hand 34 the first of the week, interested in any info on getting the best out of the T05 trigger

How much drop at 50 yds?holdover?
Not really sure. Today was the first time I had it out, but it was a tack driving machine at 23 yards!
Did you have Diana mod 50 original??
No, just 2 34's and a 350 N-Tec Classic.
