Diana 34 EMS Front Sight Install

[Zsigmund]

 I recently aquired a Diana 34 EMS Classic in .22 from BullseyeSouth.



 I purchased the Premium Front Sight Kit from Hector Medina. Check this Post:

 Here's the original front sight and the base for the new front site:


 The new base replaces the original sight and is secured and adjusted with a set-screw:


 The kit included these two steel alignment bars:


 The alignment bars in action, one across the barrel pivot block one on the front base flat:

 Part 2:

 The supplied alignment bars are very handy, but I'm old and don't see that well.
I cheated with an inexpensive electronic level.

 First set the rifle up level in a padded vice. The alignment bar makes a handy base for placing the level on the block. Use masking tape to protect the rifle's finish:


 A closer look:


 Then level and secure the front base using the same technique:


 The front sight installs with a single phillips screw/clamp arrangement:


 And suddenly, you're finished! The rifle looks great and you'll have to carry around a stick to swat off the babes!


 The Premium Front Sight kit is all metal and I like the improved sight picture. I may convert the rear to a peep sight at some point.
The rifle is still in it's break in period so I'm just going to shoot it as-is for a few hundred more shots.

 Thanks to Hector Medina and BullseyeSouth for feeding my insanity.

 Cheers,
