Anyone have a Diana model 48 .20 ?

[kzz1kaw]

👋🏾sup
Recently bought used  48 in .20 caliber. Didnt know Diana made a 48 in .20 ! I own the 177 & 22 48 but not the .20 till now. Contacted Diana to get information and specifically mention the .20 caliber in the 48 and got a response the my 48 with the to5 trigger was made in 2003 and then Diana said they don’t make a .20 caliber. I m waiting for a reply back about the .20 caliber because the gun wasn’t modified. Question does anyone here own a 48 in .20? I’m curious as to when was the production run in .20 caliber. Gun with Vortek kit is stacking pellets @ 30 yards

I believer that our very own Hector Medina had a special batch custom made a few years back.
Maybe only 20-30 were made.

Yogi is correct on that.  Check with Hector Medina, he can probably give you more information on that particular gun.  I believe he ordered them with Lothar Walther barrels as a special buy.

 I got in contact with the seller that stated he bought the gun from original owner that bought the gun new🤷🏽 gun was made in November of 2003 and Diana said the model 48 went into production in 1991 until now. Conflicting information here🤔🧐

Confusing. Did giving them the serial number help?

Whoever gave that answer didn't know their Diana history. The D48 was introduced in January 1987, or years before 1991 - that's when the D54 came available.

👋🏾sup brah! Hey Cliff! Ken here! I mentioned you in the above messages about the Diana I bought from you. If you have been reading, Diana claims they never made a .20 caliber 48😳. Just trying to get more information above the production run since .20 caliber isn’t that common in the D48 braddah👊🏾😎

While extremely rare, I have heard about .20 cal D48's, mostly in a c. 2010 - 2014 context.

I do have a .20 cal D54, one out of 30 ever made, from 2012, and I know that a little earlier, similarly small batches of D430's and D34's were made in .20 cal.

I’m going to take a picture where it says 5.0mm and the serial # and send it to the same email

I remember Dr. Beeman was promoting 5mm but I got a .22 48 and a .22 52 . They were accurate and the mainsprings broke on them . Almost the power of a m350 .
