sure i have many giss system pistols
so my advice is don't over pay
many sellers are asking high prices but the pistol would have to be near perfect and have a fresh rebuild
if you can't do the work yourself, the service would be 150.00 plus shipping 2 ways or there abouts
does it have the best trigger, well no not compared to a model 10, it is limited and can not be improved, oh i have tried
adjust it the much and the pistol will not fire and the trigger can be adjusted with the grip off and you placing the, lets call sear hook on the trigger
there are 3 screws on the trigger adjustment
the front one is a locking screw and that is all
the back screw has 2 parts inner and outer, the outer adjusts the trigger and sear hook disengagement
and the center one has all to do with feel, first stage, second stage
it has a grub screw inside the outer screw and that grub screw sit atop a compression spring and a bearing ball
the more presser on the screw makes it firmer as the ball will not retract as easy
if you have it set too much the ball will not retract at all and the sear is tripped
sights are fine with a rotating front post and the rear sight has 4 different cuts in a rotating piece
the rear sights have to be looked at before buying
many are crack at the front screw and also the plastic can be fractured and those front sight parts are hard to impossible to find and pricey
if the target grip with the shelf, that is a bonus and i have always thought they added 80 bucks to the value but they have to be like new
if the plastic grips are there and they show any little areas of scuffing they are more then likely rotten
the plastic gets in a state that you can just scrap the plastic off with your finger nail and they are hard to find but Vernon Austin makes some for the pistol
well that enough my 2 fingers are getting tired typing
message me or ask any questions here
oh they show up on Ebay and Gun Broker often and they will be cheaper on Gun Broker
I have one and it has a very nice trigger. Crisp, predictable, a previous owner had it tuned. I cannot recall who did the tune.
cock, point, click and a hole magically appears in the center ring. No recoil at all.
i also have a giss Diana mod 60 rifle. Best trigger I've ever shot!
i see the tune remark all the time but there is little to nothing that could be tuned on the model 6 pistol
you take them apart and clean and put in new parts and reassemble
on you could use this lube or that, not top hat to be made, no spring other then factory or factory style
the time thing is blown out of proportion because it can only go back together one way and seeing that most people don't have all of the step spacer that could be needed you get as close to the .3mm spacing as you can
if i told you i tuned the 7 model 6's i own and have rebuilt i would be lying because there is no such thing or maybe putting in some sort of magic grease is a tune i don't know
does rebuilding = tune
but that is a nice pistol, aluminum frame, barrel weight and the factory target grips
Never had one apart. Sounds like you know them well. Maybe the seller meant rebuilt instead of tuned.
It shoots nice and the trigger is better than our clubs giss pistols, I recall those are giss 6's or 5's as well but didn't have the rotating barrel. The trigger on those is not so good, down right crappy.
"fresh rebuild" the best advice offered in this thread. I have forget the number of the Diana, Winchester, Hy Score and a couple of other rebranded Diana's that had completely deteriorated blue seals in them. Out of about 28 guns over 10 years, I think only two worked when they got to me.
