Diana QC seems a bit slack as well.

Recently, I have posted about the QC issues noted in a number of newer HW airguns:

I had been asked if some of the other brands had similar issues, but was unable to comment, because I hadn't had any of the newer guns by other makers brought to me for attention.

I just finished up work on a Diana 34 that did indeed have a few surprises inside. Details can be found here:

I was considering buying a new hw97k, but while looking at another forum I searched " HW97 problems" and then the same for the AA TX200. Boy that opened my eyes up, I won't take for granted what to expect on name alone. Your posts didn't suprise me, now I expect to have to disassemble clean and debur any rifle I choose to purchase.
Too bad, considering the price.
