TOM aka critter99,
It's sorry to hear of your continuing bad luck you have had since you purchased your 34Pro.
You have made many, many posts about your dislike with this particular airgun.  I just can't bring myself to think that all of them, (or a large portion of them), would be bad in a TO5 trigger. That would be a real sales problem, of course.   You got a bad one, and haven't been happy with Umarex, because they didn't give you an 8 land replacement for free.  We get it...and I'm sure that we are all sorry.
I hope you can move beyond, as I see you have a nice collection of airguns to shoot. Lucky U!  Smile

Yeah, I think it's time we all moved on.  One or two bad apples can spoil the barrel.  Kind of drags all the good 34's and 350's down with the bad, so to speak.  Consider that, until the Chinese barrel controversy surfaced a couple of years ago, people seemed to be content with their 34's and 350's. 

Next topic!  How 'bout them Cubs?

  OKAY TOM !
I'll give you $10.00 + shipping (if it's still inbox and as new like U say),to get that dang thing out of your life and your posts!!!
 I'll even mount it, and label it as "Tom's Critter from H3LL"!!!  Or "Tom's Problem Child"...whatever it takes!!!

So every 12 groove barrel is BAD??? I would hardly think that one gun dictates the accuracy and dependability of them all.Yes I agree that the 12 groove barrels are not as nice as the 8 groove,,,but I have come to like my 34P quite a bit once I found the H&N ftt's! My 34 is now grouping at 3/8ths at 30 yards,(And that's bag rested on my palm) and I'm not the most steady,so that's pretty good in my books!

Sooner or later the Rant has to end,,as it's becoming very repetitive,and it's getting a bit annoying as well.I would just take it out and biff it into the lake and forget about it. Please,,it's every other post.

Oh and btw,,I see some rag on the 350,,but with a Vortek kit,,the 350 sings a different tune!

P/S: Had to edit my group as I was having a good shake free morning and because of the fine T05 trigger on my 34P and 350 the 34 did even better,so blaming the T05 or the 12 groove barrel isn't quite right.Just had to correct my earlier results.

Thanks

Like I said, sell it.  Continually ragging on the Chinese 34's is likely to turn off some owners who were, up until this point, well satisfied with their 12-groove guns.  So, Diana had one or two bad years with the 34 (since 1984?) and 350.  Products change over time.  There is NO guarantee that a gun will shoot with the herd or next year's production will be identical to the previous.  Heck, that's true of almost anything.  Sell the gun and retire the red flags, please.  Honestly, if you don't like the 34P, get rid of it.  Frankly, a good many folks don't like that particular gun, LOL!  This has gotten worse than the "plastic trigger" debate of a couple years back.

PS - I had drafted another response but tabled it.  However, something occurred to me others might find a bit interesting.  (Well, a tiny bit.)  My Chinese barreled RWS320, a BAM20 clone of the R9, seems to shoot about as well as any other of my guns.  Certainly not badly.  Perhaps this experience got Diana thinking about outsourcing barrels?  Timing would have been about right.

.... this thread was about triggers and now we are back to 12 vs. 8 barrels.......i think the 12 vs 8 thread has been talked about extensively already. lets talk pro's and con's of the two different triggers instead. i'm not trying to be a jerk but lets keep the thread on point...cheers bart

Sorry I was poked in the eye about a sore spot

If its a choice only between trigger groups the T05 is almost as good as a T06..the T06 is better out of the box but the T05 is respectable in performance out of the box.  Compare the T05 to a Titan/B18 and well it is a dream trigger.

I would give the T06 the slight edge in being able to shoot well once its adjusted...The T05 is for people that do not want to use up alot of time adjusting a trigger.  A poorly adjusted T06 is no better than a T05

Tom;

you are "Right"

"If its a choice only between trigger groups the T05 is almost as good as a T06..the T06 is better out of the box but the T05 is respectable in performance out of the box."

IF!!! you got a BAD 12 land barrel with a TO-1, TO-5 or T0-6, compared to a 8 land barrel with any of these triggers, you would not be complaining about these trigger

I don't TRUST the 12 land BARREL with a TO-7, 8, 9 or 10 and they are not even made

but in regards of the TO-5, 6 trigger, let me say this

I have a Ford Ranger, V-6, 1999 with 120,000 miles

WOULD I TRADE IT for A NEW ONE???

NAHH!! will wait until I get 180,000 out of it and then trade it for a QB78, LOL

HANG IN THERE, but don't hang to much

take care
