Posted By: Bob Cash Superposed Diana 28 Gauge - 04/17/24 01:49 PM
Early last year I acquired a 1970 Superposed Diana 28 gauge. New Style Skeet...Ugh(ly). 28" barrels, 7 1/2 pounds
Its' condition was admirable and the price was not to be believed.

Too good to be true, I checked for salt.

This scarce sub gauge only had 4 issues that I could see,

I rinsed the little bit of throw up from my mouth and went to work.

Reconfigured the forearm slide hardware to cross through

Re grayed, re blued, re gold and refinished. Put on a strict diet, now 6 pounds 6 ounces.

You could lighten it up even more if the barrel walls allow which I'm sure they likely would since a 28 b plus you could add more choke if you want by having the barrels back bored and rechoked by a pro. IC/Mod would be perfect imho and backbore would reduce weight a few more ounces (? 2-3-4 ?). Just some food for thought unless you are looking for a skeet gun?

Made of Wow, Mister Cash. Please drop me your address so I can plan my retirement and dotage around burglarizing you and shooting porcelain penguins with that thing until its wood splits.
