Thanks Kev. I really enjoy the gun work and I'm learning stuff all the time. Cheers, Alan.

lovely!

[@RetroSteamTech]

There's something about these old Dianas, great little air guns.

Good job on saving the rifle, and nice to keep some of the patina intact . Interesting that some parts are still available. Your collection certainly is growing Alan. Cheers Nobby

[@RetroSteamTech]

Thanks Nobby. I would normally have re-blued it but this one was borderline so I left it alone. Turned out ok. Yes, the collection is getting quite large now, need more wall space! Cheers, Alan.

Cool old air guns these Alan, mine must have had a gazillion shots out of it. Cheers Jim

[@RetroSteamTech]

I think this one had seen a lot of use Jim, going by how bad the original spring was. Cheers, Alan.

Might have some of those missing parts if you have a diagram.

[@RetroSteamTech]

Thanks very much for the offer but I was able source a trigger and the rear sight and trigger guard were fairly easy to make.

[@cal2299]

@@RetroSteamTech was the trigger guard t-slotted at the leading edge and just a bent tab at the rear?

[@RetroSteamTech]

@@cal2299 Yes it was.
