A Diana 75 and an LGV both walnut. Pretty pricey I thought but nice rifles. Also an LG 55 that would be a good project. Someone please buy the LGV before I give in to temptation!

The issue with the Diana 75’s is the original piston seal were gum rubber. They just don’t last. If ever oiled they quickly deteriorate. It’s expensive and difficult to find someone who replaces the seals. I had two lefties for decades and before the internet, I just couldn’t find anyone who would tackle it. It’s anyone’s guess if that AOA one has been updated.A Diana 75 and an LGV both walnut. Pretty pricey I thought but nice rifles. Also an LG 55 that would be a good project.

David Slade just resealed mine. Such a joy to shoot.The issue with the Diana 75’s is the original piston seal were gum rubber. They just don’t last. If ever oiled they quickly deteriorate.

My mistake, thank you. I think it said it has been overhauled by David Slade as wellThanks for the head's-up!
But, it's not a Walther LGV (barrel-cocking recoiling springer match rifle), but their LGR (sidelever single-stroke pneumatic match rifle).
It was rebuilt by Mr. Slade, it's a nice gun.The issue with the Diana 75’s is the original piston seal were gum rubber. They just don’t last. If ever oiled they quickly deteriorate.

David Slade resealed both of my 75s. Good man.It was rebuilt by Mr. Slade, it's a nice gun.
Yup. David Slade rebuilt my 300 S shortly after I got it. I expect it to outlive me!One thing you can say about the FWB 300 is they had it all over the 75 when it comes to repairs, simple and robust.
The 55 is pretty rough, they even said that more or less in the description. I wonder how bad it really is. Tough to tell from the pictures. Be great to see it restored.was just on AOA looks like the 75 is gone 55 is still there , not bad for a store price .
Great score and excellent shooting my friend!I picked up this Daisy 753W on the AOA used sight. Just got it last night. NOS. Never used. Daisy discontinued this model a few years back. It fires 7 grain Basic lead pellets over 500 fps. Here are two 40 yard targets. (1-5 shot & 1-6 shot) RWS-R10. Trigger is atrocious. That will be next.View attachment 550362View attachment 550363
