Title: Carbine ideas: HW45, Dianas
Post by: RonC808 on August 13, 2022, 02:01:20 PM
While perusing AirGhandi's website I saw these cool looking stocks on some German spring pistols.
IMWNO (If Money Were No Object) I would enjoy this setup for some serious close range plinking.
Or even a fun backyard mini-Field Target range.

Here's a fun father & son video of them in action on the Diana M10.
I don't sprechen sie deutsch but it sounds like they are having a blast.

or just shoot them as pistols.
More fun that way, IMHO. ;) ;D

Do you already own an HW45? If so, you are blessed. that is one pistol that I still do not own.

However, if not, and you want a superior shooting pistol/stock combo, I highly recommend the Zoraki HP-01 with optional stock.

Maxarmory (https://maxarmory.com/search?q=Zoraki+HP-01) carries them on and off. they are currently OOS on them, but they are very friendly people to deal with, and this pistol/stock combo is WELL worth waiting for.

You can get them in either .177 or .22 cal.. I would suggest the ULTRA version as it can take four pumps as opposed to the three pumps for the "Light" version.

I gave my light version (with stock) to my older brother as I bought an Ultra from Max, just because I love them so much. Perhaps not as elegant as an HW45 with a wood stock, but these are extremely accurate (although multi pump), but that's ok with me.

The trigger is unbelievable!! Three way adjustable to a feather light match pistol level!

This is mine, and I LOVE it.!!! (Silencer courtesy of TKO22.com)

Yeah, too much money.

For $350 shipped, I’d grab one for one of my custom Crosmans.

True that ;D I do personally like the look and craftsmanship.

Wow. Nice! I haven't heard of those before. They look like a Beeman's SSP P1, except in multi-stroke. Looks like there is an extended barrel version. Thanks for the recommendation!

Crosmans are a great value for the price.

Great guns of Navarone man! You are one serious modifier and tinkerer of things :o Those are awesome! The crosman and P17 platforms are great ways to fend off cabin fever ;D

No kidding - what a great fun bunch of shootin' machines!

For the record, Beeman actually offered a nice shoulder stock for the P1 back in the day. Nice simple design, long enough for proper eye relief, attaches with the grip screws (longer-than-OEM screws recommended for the most secure attachment though). It changes the gun's recoil movement so much - basically there ain't any - that it came with a taller slip-on front sight.

Made in both beech and walnut; kinda hard to find nowadays unfortunately.

Vey cool Mike. I wonder if that was a Beeman sourced option or if it cam from Weihrauch. Better hang on to that rare piece.
