I need all info you can give!

In good condition and well maintained , we are talking about 450fps or so .

Thanks for your answers Frank.
I think it is 720fps, but in fact, i have seen the specs list of the 20t01 when i aquired it (new) in 2003. i don't remember quite well, maybe i am wrong.

Can you help me to find the specs list!
Do you know any sites???

An other question!
(this question is difficult to explain for me, my first language is french.)

The whole barell is turned a few degrees (to the outside when you take aim) in the 'wood part'.
Under the barell the long rectangle hole (lever exit hole) is also not in the center. It's a bit to the inside.
When i take aim, my eyesight and the barell are turned or rotate at 1 o'clock ( 15 degrees)
Is it because it's a righ hander or just badly made?

p.s. Thanks for the lever pin answer!

I killed a rat at around 30 or 40 meters maybe more (across the backstreet).
Is it possible with only 450 fps!!!(.177 cal /homemade hollow-point pellet)

p.s. Did it without scope!!!???

when it comes to performance numbers .The higher model Diana 24
TO5 (current model ) does 550fps , to get to 720fps you will need to go to a 34 .450fps is more than enough to take a rat to 20 yds or a rabbit to the same with a headshot.

I tested a friends model 20 T01 several years ago. Each of these velocities is the average of a 15-shot string:

RWS Hobby, 541 fps, 4.50 fpe
Lapua Pistol Marksman, 524 fps, 4.48 fpe
BSA Excalibur, 528 fps, 4.52 fpe
Crosman Supermatch, 486 fps, 4.14 fpe

It is possible to kill small critters with this power level, as you have already discovered. But you are wasting your time trying to get more power, or make a real hunting weapon, out of this tiny action. Get a bigger gun if that is what you need.
