The 24D and later models with a safety have a few more parts. The 27 is easy, but I use “slave” pins to do the later T01 guns with the safety. In this way they come apart as a unit with no loose parts. The T05 can use the same method.Originally Posted by TonyL
Thanks Phil.
As mentioned, I don't own one, but it's always interesting to see how the innards of various springers work. The only Diana I own is a 24D with the T01 trigger. You never know, though, one day......And the 27 does look a nice little rifle.
The slave pins can just be roll pins of correct diameter that are just slightly shorter than the ID of the receiver. After the spring compressor takes the pressure off, the slave pins are tapped in to drive out the real pins. Backing off the compressor then has the whole bit coming out in one piece.
Having a great aversion to small trigger parts, I just leave it all assembled. Cleaning is done with aerosol brake parts cleaner, and lube is your favorite grease on a cotton swab.
As an aside, the 27 barrel will swap right on to your 24D.
