I bought this here Diana 34 tuning kit at Eagle Vision:
https://eaglevisioncam.com/shop/springs-and-guides/tuning-kit-spring-guide-fit-to-diana-rws-31-34-14-20mm/ (https://eaglevisioncam.com/shop/springs-and-guides/tuning-kit-spring-guide-fit-to-diana-rws-31-34-14-20mm/)
It's pretty expensive to ship to the USA, but I was curious...
I installed it today with one (1) of the additional spacers on the top hat. The rifle would not cock unless I pulled the trigger at the end of the stroke.
Pulled her back apart, removed that spacer which was only 1/16" maybe (guessing) and it worked.
End result is the cocking stroke is a a little smoother, the shot cycle a little calmer. Picked up a few fps avg, very few.
Would I do it again? Probably not, the kit is reasonable but the shipping pretty much doubles the cost.
Warmest Regards,
G

Huh. Hadn't heard of that kit before. Thanks for sharing.

Even if shipping doubled the price your satisfaction is the important part. Tune kits from US vendors generally include a spring and cost $80 or so. You could buy a new spring and still be okay. If you're happy with the kit that's icing on the cake.

A surprising new joint for me, too. I guess Eagle Vision Cam doesn't ring 'airgun'. Always happy to find a new place to buy springer bits from.
20GBP for a custom rear guide + tophat + spacers + lube is a good deal.
"Lifetime guarantee" for plastic guides is really quite something!

That's a good point. It was a worthwhile experiment to check out Eagle Vision's product for sure.
Next time I'll try to order when I need a couple of kits, maybe they'll combine shipping.
I've got a pile of XS25s that I've never completely sorted out, hmmmmm....
