I succumbed to the temptation...Does anyone know if the 52 has a T05 or a T06 trigger?-Whirly
I have break barrels and under levers but no side lever so I did the AOA deal on the 52 and am loving it,great shooter not at all hold sensitive mine is 22 and likes H&N Barracudas

Congrats. A little hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it's got a real nice stock on it. Enjoy Jeff
Looks very nice! Do they send a test target with all sales or did you request that?

Standard deviation of 4fps is not bad on a brand new gun that's not broken in. FPS is a little low but that should go up some. My 48 was shooting 792-799 with 14.3's CP (brown box) and CPHP out of the box. 150-200 shots later it went up to 798-805fps and it pretty much stayed there. It shoots 755-760fps with 15.9gr JSB's. Good luck with it! Harry

Sounds like its settling into its new home nicely. What scope are you putting on it?
I just want you to know that you are not at all helping my efforts to resist ordering one of these I thought I had "won the battle" but now I'm getting itchy to order one again....... must resist, must resist.....Jeff

HarryThank you!Despite the velocity measurements by AOA using 14.66-grain H&N FTT only in the upper 700's, I just ran a few 14.5-grain RWS Superdomes through my chronograph, and am seeing average FPS in the 860-870 range with the Superdomes, which is right where the 52 should be shooting.I own two Diana 54 Air Kings to use for reference.

They are 20fpe guns. The 54 has about 2fpe more power. 860-870fps with SD's is 24fpe. That's 350 power. My 350 .22 used to shoot the SD's in the mid-840's. My 48 at 800fps. The 48/52 was always less powerful than the 350. So if your 52 is shooting 860-870 then they have changed the internals recently, or you need to test using a different Chrono. It could be you chrono is not functioning properly, and my vote is on the latter. Harry
