There has been a lot of talk about droop on Diana's but I can only see it on my 34, so I thought it was only brake barrels that had it, but I am hearing that fixed barrels also have it. Can anyone see any droop on my 460 in this picture?

How can you post a picture of something you can't see???

Barry,
While some guns are bad enough, you can post a picture; most are just slight; it even varies by model (that's why Leaper's has two droop mount models). And while we are on the topic of 460's, back when you put the T01 trigger in a 460 and the anti-beartrap didn't work, I forgot to mention that was really odd as the T01 must have moved the piston lock point so far that the trigger locked first. Normally the anti-beartrap locks first - which is another problem that people note with the 460 with trigger burrs.
Even looking through a photo, your gun shows no sign of barrel droop.
But the best way to check if there's any, is shooting the rifle with a scope attached on normal mounts. If the gun will shoot low, there must be some droop.
Alberto I have tried that and it still dont seem to be shooting low? but my 34 I can see the droop and have to adjust the scope a lot.
JC The stroke on the 460 is about 15mm shorter with the TO1 because the rod is longer and engages on the balls before it would on the plates,On the TO5 the anti-bear trap engages at a guess 5 or so mm before the trigger so if using the TO1 the trigger would engage before the anti-bear trap. these are not precise measurements but I could see what was going on through the loading chamber.
