Got this Diana for a cheap price…thought it was pretty cool seeing as the stock was one I’ve never seen before. Thoughts? What version is this?

Diana Springer experts…what Diana 34 is this?
- Thread starter Maizen
- Start date
Interesting stock with racing stripes. Looks like the barrel has been bent upward, probably by accidentally pulling the trigger while it was broken open or having it slip out of hand while cocking and the barrel slamming shut. It can be fixed with a couple of pieces of wood and blocks and a c-clamp with leather pads. Search for spring air gun barrel bending to bring up some pictures. I've done it myself on my old Beeman/Weihrauch R1.

Was that one Century was selling? Just looks like a painted stock version called "sport". I have picked up a few rifles from them recently, an hw 30, Diana 27 and 35 and most are pretty beat and missing small parts like a sight or trigger guard. That does look like a bent barrel if the photo is accurate. That can be straightened.

Yeah that’s the one I picked up. It’s not too much of a problem to fix their rifles. Most of them don’t have too many parts missing. Ends up being worth the fix. Yes the barrel does look bent, and yes I intend to straighten it. I hope
though…that it’s just a photo issue. Would make life easier.Upvote 0
Hmmm I just went to their site.
I actually like to buy project guns.
Their descriptions are a bit generic.
I’d like to know a little of what is missing or not working properly. Before buying a broken gun.
Good luck with yours. Hope you get it shooting.
Keep us posted

Yeah century doesn't tell you much about the gun. I have an FFL acct there so I get a bit cheaper than what they post the price. I just got a Diana 35 for $60 from them. They don't usually have airguns like this batch, must have come from a single purchase they picked up.

there was a time that Diana did these in different models the year or years done is unknown to me but these are model 75's and i would think any paint stock Diana is rare
the 75's are TO1's

Looking at safety end cap, plastic trigger ... TO1 trigger group placing it early mid 80's is my semi educated guess

I redid another Diana 34 before. Internally and externally. But a wooden stock…so really easy to finish again. This blue stock may be a bit more difficult.

Blue? Looks black on my screen. There’s a guy on GTA that got similar recently. Will look for the thread.

Was just looking at my Diana 35 I recently got from Century and when I looked through the bore I can see there is the telltale barrel bend of a gun that has the barrel slam shut. Looks like I am going to have to try to straighten this thing. I am wondering if these were the basket cases from some airgun shop. Mine also is missing the front sight, not an easy part to find anymore.
