\"Upgrading<\/a><\/p>\n

At the time of writing, there is a variety of upgrade possibilities available for the Diana Outlaw air rifle<\/a> or soon will be…<\/p>\n

Diana has taken a very enthusiast-friendly approach to their new regulated PCP air rifle. And you can benefit from it to make your Outlaw really your own. Some of these accessories are not available yet. However, check with AoA to find out the latest information on availability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One. A Complete Manual For The Diana Outlaw.<\/h3>\n

Hard Air Magazine has produced a complete manual for the Outlaw that contains just about everything you want to know about your new air rifle. It\u2019s available from Airguns of Arizona!<\/p>\n

\"Upgrading<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cChoosing and Shooting the Diana Outlaw\u201d is a 94-page book full of useful information. It includes tips on filling, scope mounting and choosing pellets. In addition, the book covers maintenance and re-building details.<\/p>\n

Now you will know what to do with all those tools and O rings that were included with your Outlaw!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two. The Outlaw Enthusiast\u2019s Kit<\/h3>\n

Precision Airgun Distribution – the US distributor of the Outlaw – has also developed an interesting upgrade kit for this air rifle.<\/p>\n

The Diana Outlaw Enthusiast\u2019s Kit comprises no less than 32 upgraded parts and tools. It allows the enthusiastic Outlaw owner to make a number of improvements to his\/her gun. And all the information you need to use it are included in the \u201cChoosing and Shooting the Diana Outlaw\u201d book.<\/p>\n

\"Upgrading<\/a><\/p>\n

All parts are higher quality replacements for those shipped on the gun. The screws and pins are all stainless steel and the O rings, US-made of VITON material. All parts are matched to original Diana Part Numbers for easy identification.<\/p>\n

Using this kit you can\u2026<\/p>\n

– Upgrade the trigger and cocking lever pins. These precision-ground, oversize pins replace the factory parts and are much less likely to fall out by accident. The trigger pins also provide more consistent operation.<\/p>\n

– Upgrade the stock bolt and other assembly screws throughout the gun with high quality stainless steel replacements for a more pleasing, professional appearance.<\/p>\n

– Install a non-rotating cocking handle upgrade. Simply cut the rubber tube to length. This reduces double-loading problems caused by fingers slipping off of the cocking lever.<\/p>\n

– Replace the barrel seal – two sets for each caliber are included. In addition, superior pointed, barrel adapter setscrews are provides, together with replacement barrel adapter O rings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three. Upgrade The Buttstock.<\/h3>\n

Diana plans to offer an alternative buttstock for the Outlaw. This stock is manufactured in Italy by Minelli and offers a more sophisticated design than the standard factory part. It will also be completely interchangeable, with no modifications required to fit it to the Outlaw\u2019s action.<\/p>\n

Diana\u2019s replacement buttstock has a more rounded, flowing design. It\u2019s stylish and offers possibilities for a more comfortable and consistent hold for the shooter.<\/p>\n

\"Upgrading<\/a><\/p>\n

The rake of the stock\u2019s wrist gives improved positioning the the trigger hand. The swelled, checkered forend will be easier and more comfortable to grasp, while the higher comb will give a better and more consistent cheek weld.<\/p>\n

These are important benefits!<\/p>\n

Anything that gives you a more comfortable shooting experience leads to greater consistency of positioning yourself against the gun every time you take a shot. And greater shot-to-shot consistency on your part increases the practical accuracy of your shooting. This can make a stock upgrade an important benefit for many shooters.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Four. Check Out The Trigger.<\/h3>\n

Many owners will be happy with the feel and operation of their Outlaw\u2019s trigger.<\/p>\n

However, a trigger upgrade is being developed by Diana and this will be regarded as a welcome improvement for owners using their gun for Field Target and other competitive shooting.<\/p>\n

However Diana has designed a Match Trigger for the Outlaw. Again, this is a direct, drop-in replacement for the trigger that shipped with your Outlaw. It\u2019s a significant difference!<\/p>\n

Diana\u2019s Match Trigger includes setscrew adjustments for both first and second stages of the trigger travel. These are the tiny setscrews visible just ahead of the trigger blade.<\/p>\n

\"Upgrading<\/a><\/p>\n

Another adjustment possible with the Match Trigger is that it\u2019s possible to move the trigger blade itself forwards or backwards. This provides flexibility for you to select the most comfortable and convenient trigger position. After all, we don\u2019t all have fingers of the same length!<\/p>\n

Adjusting the trigger blade position is a simple affair. Just use a thin-bladed standard screwdriver to slightly loosen the trigger blade. Adjust the position to your liking and re-tighten.<\/p>\n

In testing, I found the Match Trigger to be a valuable improvement to the Diana Outlaw. The greater number of adjustments helped me tune trigger release exactly to my liking. It also provided a lower and more consistent pull weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Five. Add A Huma Regulator.<\/h3>\n

Understanding the Outlaw\u2019s popularity, the Dutch regulator specialist company Huma has introduced an upgrade for the Outlaw\u2019s regulator.<\/p>\n

The Huma regulator is a high-precision assembly, made largely of stainless steel and brass. It provides you with the ability to adjust the regulator pressure of your Outlaw to match the requirements of you, or your favorite pellets, or both.<\/p>\n

The factory regulator is pre-set at a pressure of between 130 and 150 Bar (1,880 to 2,170 PSI).<\/p>\n

The Huma regulator upgrade comes pre-set at a pressure setting of 135 Bar (1,958 PSI). However, this setting can be changed easily and – unlike the factory part – the Huma regulator gives you a scale showing the different output pressures. Rotating a setscrew allows you to set a specific regulator output pressure.<\/p>\n

Setting a higher regulator pressure will give you higher FPS and less consistent shots per fill. Within reason, of course.<\/p>\n

\"Upgrading<\/a><\/p>\n

To install this forthcoming Huma regulator, you\u2019ll find full details in the \u201cChoosing and Using The Diana Outlaw\u201d book, of course!<\/p>\n
