Really, the only thing left asking is the super-slippery painted wood rifle butt. I'm thinking of gluing a thin strip of rubber in there for grip, but don't want to compromise the 80's paint job with a peeling risk etc.
Thinking about the slippery butt issue some more, it dawned on me to try some cloth tape (hockey stick tape) on the butt. So, I cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol, plaster some tape in there and cut away the excess with scissors. It works like a charm, providing just the right amount of grip on my shoulder, while being 100% reversable, and really quick and easy, too!For testing out, I didn't bother to do a precision job, but even so, it doesn't look half bad, and does the job.

I'd really like to get open sights for the little Diana, but the curved breech block top is getting in the way. Both my 1988 D34 and my 2015 350 Mag have flat breech block tops, and their rear sights (or the Xisico clones) cannot be tightened against the curved D24 top. I'm at a loss as to what to get for the rear, despite Hector's earlier post on the subject.
