Since 1986 (Diana 48) and 1988 (Diana 52), Mayer & Grammelspacher in Rastatt, Germany forged these side-lever springers into icons of German precision. The searches for Diana 48/52 custom stock never fade — because owners know: fixed-barrel accuracy, T06 match trigger, and lifetime metalwork don’t age. Only the stock does.

Factory beech? A decent start — but rather like wearing brogues in the rain.

• Swells in damp weather (warps inlet, loosens action)
• Cheekpiece too low for modern high-mount scopes
• Grip slips under 105mm cocking stroke
• Balance rear-heavy — fatigue in HFT prone
• Recoil slap after 30 shots

The upgrade: A drop-in Craftsman Vit stock — hand-shaped walnut (1.6 kg) or laminated (1.45 kg), precision-machined to your Diana’s action. No rifle shipping. No gunsmith. 15-minute install. Walnut +600g, laminate +450g over factory beech — for forward-weighted balance, recoil absorption, and rock-solid stability.

FT Design only — clean, classic profile. In laminate stocks, we inlay a redwood or premium walnut butt insert — a mark of respect to the legend. As the Germans say: „Handwerk hat goldenen Boden“ — *craftsmanship has a golden foundation*.

Owner Verdict

“1991 Diana 52 + CV stock walnut = 0.38” groups at 50yd. Feels brand new. Worth every penny.”

Why the Extra Weight & Redwood Insert?

Yes — walnut 1.6 kg (+600g), laminate 1.45 kg (+450g) over factory beech.
And that’s the point.

• Forward mass = muzzle stays planted during cocking
• Density absorbs recoil = smoother cycle, less flinch
• Stability in prone = HFT winners swear by it
• No more “whippy” feel — rifle plants like a rock

FT Design keeps the clean, classic profile of the original Diana 52 Monte Carlo.
The redwood or walnut butt insert? Not just aesthetics.
It’s respect — a tribute to the legend that began in 1986.
A visual nod to the walnut Monte Carlo of the Diana 52.
A tactile reminder every time you shoulder it.

Final Word

Your Diana was born in 1986–1988.

It’s a resurrection.

„Präzision ist kein Zufall“ — *precision is no accident*.
