Custom Barrel Weight for Diana 52 **New Pics Added**
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2008 11:38 pm
Hi Guys!
Find the original post here.
As part of the Custom Diana project, I had a barrel shroud made.
I spent long hours at the machinist to get this baby done.
Two models were made. Both exactly the same in appearance, but one weighs a whopping 1.3kg and the other 470gms.
I did this so that I can practice with the heavier one thus making hand holding the rifle easy with the lighter shroud attached. The POI shifts considerably, but I'm not zeroing the rifle yet. So its alright.
Here's a pic I had on my phone. Will upload better pics later.
The design is two part. The head unscrews to reveal a ported barrel sleeve. Once I figure out the legalities, a suppressor may be incorporated. The body attaches to the original barrel sleeve with a flush fitted grub screw. Its 250mm long with a diameter of 35mm (same as the action).
As before, I painted it. But this time, primer was used
Do let me know what you think of it.
