Hi everyone, new guy here to the forum.....
I Had a Feinwerkbau 124 many years ago, and than got away from Air rifles and pistols. I purchased a Browning 800 Mag Pistol (.22), for Squirrel control last year (the Squirrels annihilated my Garden last year).
While walking thru the local Farmer's Market, I came across a RWS box sitting on a shelf; and I am now the proud owner of a Diana 54, that was sealed in the box from 1996, for only $ 250, never fired, with the Red seal still around the receiver!
This thing is insanely accurate using Crosman 14.3 grain pointed field hunting pellets. Right now I have a used Tasco Japanese (model AG39X50) scope, that is crystal clear, and works flawlessly. I love the scope, but I want to try using a nice Aperture sight once in a while.
What high quality Aperture sight will work with this gun? I do have a Williams FP-GR-Tk sight that works on a Browning .22 rimfire rifle I have, but I know that it's dovetail clamp is made for 3/8" dovetail, and not the 11mm dovetail for my Diana. Have any of you put aperture sights on a 54, 48, or 52? If so what do you recommend?
I believe my rifle also has the T01 trigger (two screws right?)
any help appreciated.
Don
p.s. I would want to put some type of Globe sight or equivalent on the front sight also.

Williams FP-AG.

I have a Williams WGRS-54 I bought at MidwayUsa. It is a very lightweight, compact peep sight. The only downside is that it does not have click adjustments, It is slides to desired adjustment and locks down with two small screws. I use it on my Crosman 2260, which I believe has an 11mm dovetail. Here it is...

Here is the WGRS-54 on my gun (I also ordered a smaller peep aperture, the one included is larger)

Thanks, that's an option also.

I also use the Williams WGRS-54 on my Disco. The original aperture (.093) works best for me. I tried the .050 aperture and I get a fuzzy spot right in the center with my old eyes. I use the original front FO sight glued to my tko brake. Perfect for short range shooting (<75 ft.) Bought mine at Midway too.

I have the Williams Fp_AG on my 54. I bought the Diana GLobe match sight mod (globe sight and muzzle break replacement). Using a 0.125 apertureI can see very well to make 30 yard shots with the peep. Longer even. I have an FP_AG_TK on my 52. I'm a happy guy. :)

Congrats- it sounds like you really scored!

Where did you get the front sight mod from?

So far, I am loving this rifle....
Heavy, but the recoiless feature is worth carrying the weight. This gun is definitely not hold sensitive. At 10 meters off a rest, I was shooting Crosman field points, thru the original first shot hole! excellent accuracy.

Wow- this one may have to become the next in my collection. That's pretty impressive, and I wasn't aware that it is recoilless.

Yeah the 48 and 52 models have recoil, but the 54 is recoilless.

Yeah, Lizzie, it's a nice one :)
The action does recoil, but it's on rails, so the recoil doesn't get transferred to the stock (or the shooter).
Can still be murder on scopes, though!
I miss mine, should have kept it...
