Two of these were on my repair bench last nite, both 90’s. 
HW80 .177, HW90 .20 and HW90 .25. Three power houses. Man these 90’s are amazing. Solid guns.

What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
I shot some paper today. Checking the scope and a little pellet testing with the 50. You know I had to break out the 30 too.

Well now that you have been shooting those 90 s what’s your take on the trigger ? I personally like it as well as the Record trigger

When I first got my 90 .25, four years ago. You could just pass wind and it would go off. Hated it, dangerous. Then when I turned the gun down to 18 bars. The trigger is exceptional. I did nothing to the trigger. It’s even hard to imagine it’s the same rifle. Crow

A Diana 46 E
Rifle has a Vortek PG2 Diana 34 kit in it and does 790ish with H&N FTTs.
I pulled the mount and scope off of it and mounted an old Mendoza adjustable peep sight. I also reinstalled the Diana rear stop screw on the rail, as this is what it was originally placed there for.
My skills with a post front sight are not helped much by the fat Diana front sight blade, but I am confident in rolling squirrels and rabbits at 10 to 40 yards with it.

That is not a stop screw, the hole was there for a peep sight and the screw is strictly there to plug the hole. Many have sheared those off thinking it is a stop screw. FWIW

Chuck nice gun and stock. This must be the underlever for the 460. I put a Vortek spring in mine, sweet. I like the sights. Crow

Beeman P3 at 10 yards with JSB 7.33. The 6th spinner took 4 shots and the last one took 2. All the others were first shot hits. 1rst time with the KYL.

Took 2 TX’s out this morning both .22. First up up the TX and as usual deadly. The only thing I didn’t like was the covers for the scope. I find they catch on my clothing. 
Then I jumped on a Hunter. I find the knurled grip hard on the fingers, in winter I don’t shoot much for this reason.
I have to grab it with the meat of my thumb.
I find the button easier to release the cocking arm, as on the 77 and 97’s. Nit picking. Crow

Didn’t know what a P3 thinking move the target back. But a pistol, wow, nice shooting. I couldn’t do that in my dreams. Crow

Got a bag of sear springs for the Shanghai B3 that I was repairing for my neighbor, so now it's all in one piece. Shot it a bit. Not very exciting. It has pretty dismal velocity, so I'll be making a "stilt" for my homemade spring guide to see if I can get it up to a reasonable speed. Tarted it up with a paint job and a usable sight.
Made him a safety block, because I found that in an almost impossible to achieve circumstance (requiring parts falling out), the gun can bite when it shouldn't be able to.
I don't think the design of the gun is particularly unsafe, it's the very sloppy fit and finishing.
Some folks have stated in various places that the trigger/sear/piston-tube engagement surfaces should be polished with sandpaper... What a great way to cause accidents! They need to be filed/stoned flat and true.

I am not using it as a SCOPE stop gentlemen.
It is a lightweight peep sight that I wanted to arrest any possible rearward movement.
I am evaluating whether I like the opens better than scoped on this rifle.
I will grant that my statement about it being there for that reason, may have been seen as contrary to what you have read.
What peep sight utilizes this hole?
Who makes it?
Does a picture exist?
If I am wrong, and it snaps the top off of the screw, I will humbly eat crow.

Thanks for the concern though, really, at least you all are keeping an eye out for me!

The name of that screw is the 'rear sight recoil arresting screw' apparently, and it appears that I used it correctly.
About halfway down the post is Hectors view on it.

Setting up a DIANA 460 for Iron Sights
After more than 10 years after its introduction, the DIANA 460 has already become a "Classic". No other gun displays the power, the accuracy and the elegance of this svelte lady. 22-24 ft-lbs yields...

Wednesday was at a buddy's shooting. Sorry no pictures. And yesterday my range forgot my phone. Today it was raining all day but managed to shoot this 1932 Daisy 25 while feeding the horse.
It counts. Has a spring-piston
