Thanks again guys!Hector, I did not know that there were 2 versions of the 46 (or much else!).Is there a visual cue or telltale to help spot the different versions?I did notice that the loading gate on triggerfest's thread has a modest "jog" in its shape, and a stamped logo, which is different from what I've seen in other pics....
My 46 arrived today, and as soon as I get my hands on some breech seals, it should be good to go.This one is a .22, is in really nice shape, and although I haven't cocked it (don't want to fire it with a missing breech seal) I did work the lever, and the cocking stroke is silent. Feels nice and "springy" too, but easy to cock.Seals should be here in a week but may need OD fitting (I ordered 8mm ID, 4mm thick O rings) so expect a range report in a couple of weeks.
Thanks Hector!I did not measure, I bought 8mm ID Orings 4mm instead of 3mm assuming the ID would be common to Diana, and that I would fit the OD for a snug fit. I will also order the ones you suggested, to save on down time, assuming that my 1st assumption was off the mark.
