when I had the gun I had dye grips, and had a new bolt.
Recommended Upgrades:
the new bolt sorta helped
Strengths:
the gun had awsome looks and when I could get it to shoot it shot well
Weaknesses:
I bought this gun and it was used at the time, for some reason I think something was gettting stuck in my gun after I would fire off a couple rounds that would make it leak CO2, it got very anoying draining a whole 12oz in 5 min. One time for some reason all the CO2 started gushing from every crack in the gun freezing it up. Just make sure to keep the gun very clean inside.
Conclusion:
from the xp that I got from it I would have to not really recommend this gun to anyone. My alley cat 2 does so much better than it and the model 98 I traded the diablo in for is SO much better. the looks are awsome, but you have to be able to back up the looks with a reliable product.
