Today we examine and shoot the vintage Diana model 25 breakbarrel air rifle, in the form of a Winchester model 425, this one brought back from the graveyard Shooting a vintage air rifle is so much fun. Since they’re no longer made, I don’t have to try to shoot my best, as only a collector will ever buy one of these rifles. Brings back memories of my youth tromping on the farm.,

I paid $15 for it at a garage sale. Put about 10 hours into a total rebuilding including refinishing the stock.

i looked the the Blue Book and i assume it is a 25D but the Diana 25's have a long and windy history over the years

That's why I laugh when I see them asking an arm and a leg for the Winchester marked ones.

Sweet!  

 

Was just talking to a friend about Old Dianas.  Both of us miss the 46.  And the 45s..  

Never should have sold my 35.
