I did enjoy.  Thank you for sharing, Hector.  I do agree with your thoughts on the Model 34 - Diana blew it when they replaced it with the EMS.  Had they kept it they would have probably sold even fewer EMS models.

Nice write up again !

And I still can't believe why on earth I've sold mine 

Such a nice shooter !!!

Tom;

The EMS did sell rather well, but the concept is not "gelling" and, unless they put their full force behind the concept, then the whole project is moot.

To put it in simple numbers, the project currently offers only 25% of what the whole program was designed to do.

Let's hope they will hear, listen and understand.

Keep well and shoot straight!

Well, depending on where you live, they do pop up now and then in the used market.

Question of keeping an eye out for them.

Good luck!

I lucked into one in .22 not that long ago.
As Hector suggests, it is a fine rifle and one that I should shoot more often.
Perhaps I'll make it out to the range this weekend!

And, Hector, thank you again for the square-section breech seals you sent me.

You're welcome!


With some of those "vintage" guns, it pays to do a bit of research and find the right "replacements". LOL!

Keep well and shoot straight!
