(UPD: The D-34 modification, which is discussed in this top, is no longer produced: instead, Dianaverk offers the consumer almost the same appearance, but with a flat rubber butt plate, a standard plastic front sight (like the “older” models) and light guide inserts in sighting devices.The purchase took place in a Moscow shopping mall. Let me clarify right away - I would not promote this establishment as a whole and its individual pavilions in particular, even if I were paid well for it. Just on principle. There are probably no such boorish prices for goods as there anywhere in Moscow. Initially, the purpose of my trip there was, if possible, to get to know the Weirauch models better - to touch, touch, and see what falls into my hands. Failed. The only worse situation with prices in “Extreme” in Zlatoglava is the situation with “Varya”. I knew this, but this store, despite my familiarity with its website, was my last “what if” - because relatively recently a variety of “Vari” were sold there. Alas, there was only a lonely “HW-97K” hanging on the wall, a priori rejected by me due to the lack of open sights and the wild (22800!!!) price they demand for it. But it was not for nothing that the saleswoman there was praised on the forum. It’s nice to meet a person, especially a woman, who is so competent in our affairs and ready to share comprehensive information. My first question addressed to her was: “Are you planning to buy other models of Wairauhi?” The answer was an extremely laconic “no.” OK it's all over Now. Krenets of last hope. But... My backup plan was one of the Diane models. Which one exactly, I was going to decide on the spot. Of course, not in “Extreme”, but in any other store in Moscow, and all for the same “mercantile” reasons: we don’t pick up money on the panel. Well, okay, I think it’s too late to go further, let me at least look at it and hold it in my hands. My gaze fell on the “34” model almost immediately. And everything else hanging on that wall immediately somehow receded into the background. My first thought was: “Oh my, how similar it is to the Weyraukh fractures!” A similar contour of the “unscrewed” stock, no frills, very “warm”-looking wood, a steel front sight in a round protective frame - and in general the same as the “Var”, noble modesty in its entire appearance... Freezing - somehow it will be in hand? — and trying, God forbid, not to look at the price tag, he asked the saleswoman to let me hold it. The fears were in vain - the beauty fell into her arms like her own. I immediately got the feeling that I was pressing the butt plate of the “good old” Shadow to my shoulder, which, having suddenly become slimmer, acquired some kind of unearthly swiftness. I feel that I am simply physically unable to let go of her. And in my head, one by one, the pages of my native “Hansa”, which I thoroughly went through the day before, turn over. Like an exam in the distant past. "Diana-34"? About “460”, “48”, “52”, “350” I read everything I could - but about “34”... In a word, “Kazan took, Astrakhan took...” (c) And here - at least remember one intelligible mention ... Continuing to freeze, I turn my gaze to the price tag... 13500. A little expensive? I have no idea: I haven’t seen anything recently either in the capital’s stores or in the price lists of the Internet sites of 34 Dianas. There is no point in telling further: I think each of us is familiar with the joy that you experience when you realize the fact of complete solidarity of your desires and possibilities. At the same time, I bought a spare cuff, a cleaning rod with a cleaning kit (my first thought: a brass brush made from it looks like a piece of paper!) and, on the advice of the saleswoman, a “Field Target Trophy” box. Then the Fräuleins were packed into a beautiful yellow box, and she went to live with me. Now I turn from the lyrics to physics...
EXTERNAL IMPRESSIONS
Thinking about buying a new, really good “pneuma”, I identified the “Diana” as a backup option, primarily because, in comparison with the “Weirauchs”, most of its models are quite bulky and heavy. Personally, I needed a rifle that was more or less universal: one that I could take with me, on occasion, both for running hunting and for open-air plinking. But specifically in the 34th model there is nothing that would allow it to be called a “drone” or a “howitzer”. In terms of weight, it is only slightly larger than my Gamo Shadow, which, even with modding and some homemade steel parts, is very light. I also like the balance - the center of gravity is approximately in the middle, the rifle does not spin in the hands, it does not try to rear up or nod at the slightest loosening of the grip. The design of the machine is extremely ascetic. The stock seems to be slightly “slicked”, without sharp edges or protrusions, with the same smoothed neck and cheek. And this is not without reason: Diana is the goddess of the hunt, and this style is typical of classic English hunting lodges. There are no checkerings on the neck or fore-end; the trigger guard is a simple, slightly convex shaped plate made of blued steel. I was somewhat surprised by the absence of the usual rubber butt pad on the butt: instead, rather deep transverse notches were simply made on the end.
The barrel, the chamfer, the approach to the rifling... The outer surface of the cylinder... The breech... Is there any point in repeating other people's delights? Germans, one word. The descendants of those whom the ancestors of today's Izhmekhovites defeated... What was slightly upsetting was the trigger and safety lever. Honestly, I personally would be happy to overpay a famous company 500-700 rubles for their execution in metal. The plastic, however, is of excellent quality, the parts, of course, without the slightest trace of flash or burrs. As for the rear sight... Yes, the dianovods are right: it’s not terrible, of course - it’s still not “Izhmekh”... However, here the German gentlemen definitely have something “still to work on”. For example, on the informativeness of the clicks of both micrometer screws in general and the ease of use of the horizontal correction screw in particular. Even on the Gama, I must admit, the rear sight is nicer - although, unlike the all-metal Dianovsky, it is made of 80% plastic. In order to break the barrel of the Diana-34, it turns out that a very significant force must be applied; it was noticeably easier to do this on Shadow. On the contrary, closing the breech is quite easy. But, I think, everything here will return to normal over time: after the final running-in of the fixation mechanism. During the first cockings, the rifle resisted quite actively; at some point during cocking, overcoming the resistance of the spring and the friction of the cuff, it was necessary to mobilize quite serious muscle potential (and uncle, although I’m not outrageously pumped up, I’m by no means weak); I felt a slight, sort of... well, “sticking” of the cuff (although this word, of course, even despite the quotation marks, sounds too strong). But after 3-4 shots it became noticeably easier: apparently, the lubricant was evenly distributed along the walls of the compressor. I drove the bullet down the barrel with a ramrod from the breech side, and at the final stage of this process I discovered a very noticeable choke. The marks from the cuts on the skirt and head are clear, identical, uniform: well, there is no need to be surprised. Once again - Krauts, they are Krauts (there is no point in posting a photo of this bullet: it’s amazing what the “digital point-and-shoot” macro photography mode does to the object in such cases). The shot itself cannot be called quiet, but nothing similar to Gam’s “bzzzde-uh...” is observed in the finale. Clear and short cotton. The recoil is quite noticeable: perhaps this is further emphasized by the absence of the usual rubber butt pad - but it doesn’t look at all like the characteristic howitzer jump of a weighted-up “Murka”...
The only words of the saleswoman from “Extreme”, which caused “vague doubts”, were the words that there is no need to sort out the rifle - diesel, they say, is better to shoot with heavy bullets. Of course, I missed this advice on the port side. And having taken it apart, I realized that I was not mistaken... But more on that below.
So: after drinking a cup of coffee for courage, we begin DISASSEMBLY.
Actually about the disassembly. The disassembly of the Diana-34, as I suspected, is no different from the disassembly of the Diana-31, and a member of our Mixamarket forum made a topic about this a long time ago: https://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/96/169015. html
Therefore, I will not go into excessive detail. I’ll just note that it’s better to disassemble any rifle with a powerful mainspring in a machine: well, screw these hands inevitably stained with auto synthetics and the fidgety SM block, which, when you try to drive it into place, begins to live an independent life. Although, in principle, assembling the “Diana-34” without it is not particularly difficult, in any case, it is incomparably easier than the same Gamo, in which the SM is made separately from the backdrop, and the sear has to be tied up with electrical tape or wire. But it is somewhat more difficult than “Murku”: here, unlike the latter, there is no pin for preliminary fixation of the KSM. In my opinion, it’s in vain: the gadget is simple, but very useful... Here are 2 photographs for comparison: one shows the tools necessary for assembling Gamo, the other shows Diana-34. Comments, as they say, are unnecessary.
(Reading is not required - but, by the way, I would like to note this: having disassembled my beauty, I, like all newly minted Dianovods, experienced great pleasure from the picture of the notorious German quality that presented itself to my eyes. However, as the owner of Gamo Shadow, I cannot say that the quality of surface treatment of the main mechanisms of this latter differs so monstrously from Dian's. It differs. But is by no means monstrous. But the native “Izhmekh” is a different matter: he, fascinated by the slightly more complex, but much more effective design of the barrel hinge mechanism, cocking, piston grip, softness and informativeness of the descent - frantically smoking bamboo on the sidelines.) And also - on the main topic and in general. These words are addressed primarily to beginners. Don't listen to salespeople when they try to convince you that there is no need to re-open a new rifle, and that diesel can be shot with heavy bullets. You can - but why? In any case, each owner must know how his weapon works, and to do this, it must be disassembled at least once. And later, sometimes you will also have to disassemble it: well, at least for relubrication. Fears of “dismembering” a brand new rifle are quite justified and understandable - however, they must be overcome. This is especially true for German women: they preserve them, to put it mildly, thoroughly. Here is a photo of traces of whitish “vaseline” on the piston, which looks a lot like ordinary grease. And the dark thing on the cuff is... Well, you know what... A facsimile of Mr. Diesel with a s-bsn person... It’s disgusting to even think about how I would “shoot THIS with heavy bullets” and what the cuff with a spring would turn into as a result of this process.
This interesting substance or its remains, as we understand, absolutely must be removed with a dry cloth. Also wipe the inside of the compressor; It is most convenient to do this, for example, using a stick with a longitudinal cut on which it is wound:
Well, then as usual. A drop of auto synthetics or the like on the lip of the cuff, a very thin one, rubbing in, lubricating the piston supporting surface, lubricating (without fanaticism!) the guide and springs with lithol or grease:
Another argument against such calming advice: this “vaseline”, when detonated, leaves simply a monstrous soot in the barrel. The first 5-6 ear sticks, which I ran along the trunk with a cleaning rod, came out not just black, but black as night in a residential area without lights. But only one shot was fired using Vaseline. It’s a pity that there are no photos, I threw them away a long time ago - it’s better to see them once...
Finally, a drawing of a plastic “Diana-34” guide with dimensions (measured using the opportunity during disassembly): this element, as usual, would obviously be nice to replace with a turned steel one.
This topic will apparently be replenished: in the future - measuring speed and sighting, as well as shooting for accuracy. But the results of the latter, I think, should be published after purchasing suitable optics... Dear colleagues - owners of Diana-34! It seems that you and I have had the rare honor of creating the first large separate top on our forum dedicated to THIS particular model of the famous German rifle. Therefore, if you have the desire and opportunity, share your impressions, supplement it with your feedback and questions - I think this will be useful to all of us.
UPD: so, what we managed to find out and clarify additionally through various kinds of searches and climbing the forum, in attempts to fish something out of the rather small lake of available information: YES - Diana-34 and Diana-31 are actually the same rifle: the difference is stock material (D-34 - wood, D-31 - good, beautiful, weighty plastic). All “mechanics” and all sizes are the same. That is, both with the “T 05” trigger mechanism (more about them here: https://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/96/247418.html), original springs, guides, cuffs are interchangeable. The only external difference, besides the stock, is the front sight (on the D-31 it is made of plastic with light guide inserts, on the D-34 it is steel in a ring) and the rear sight (on the D-31 with the same inserts, on the D-34 without them) . By the way, about these options. Which is preferable? I think there is no definite answer. Most likely, everyone decides for themselves. IMHO almost ideal open ones are all-metal parts with light guides. But this apparently only happens in Vary. Here everything is not so simple. The principle at work is well known, strange as it may sound, to float fishermen. Every “stubborn” floater spends his whole life searching for or constructing his own ideal, universal float, the antenna of which is equally visible on the water in any weather and in any lighting, which is almost impossible to implement. It's the same here. I used Gama, which has such inserts on the front and rear sights - this is very convenient not only in early twilight, but also in the case when the shooter during shooting is positioned so that the entire rifle is in the shadow. But sometimes it happens the other way around - light guides greatly interfere: for example, when shooting against the sun, especially at small biological targets, the front and rear sight threads, which worked perfectly in the twilight, simply “dissolve in air” and become almost invisible. Against the sun, simple black slats and pegs would definitely be preferable.
The SIDE MOUNTING SCREWS of the stock on Dianas tend to come loose during use. Do not eat gud - in Gama they do it smarter: there are “torxes” on the loktite, which stand at an angle. I placed a thin leather washer under the screw heads (between them and the toothed washers). Nothing helped. I had to put it on nail polish.
I am very pleased with the kinematics of the COCKING TRACTION. When you break the Dian barrel, you begin to understand where, in fact, the designers get all these compressor-gnawing rollers (MP-512), easily lost plastic inserts and rollers dangling in the air above the supporting surfaces (Gamo), and so on. Their presence in the platoon diagram suggests a forced measure, but not any competent calculations: the unit was designed, but at the very last moment they realized that its kinematics were poorly calculated, the thrust would rub against the compressor - and quickly introduced a palliative element into the design. Diana does not have such elements, she simply does not need them: the kinematics of the unit is such that when the barrel is broken, the thrust does not press against the compressor - on the contrary, it moves away from it at a considerable distance. At the same time, which is quite strange, the thrust is continuous, and this requires a rather long longitudinal recess in the “body” of the forend:
