An aquaintance has asked me to refurb a Diana Model 1 rifle and I have no experience of them . This one is in very good (almost new) condition apart from a missing rear sight and a very minor rust spot near the muzzle. Apart from that, It won't kick a dart out, never mind a pellet. It's a family heirloom that belonged to a lad who didn't return from war service in 1945
I've found an exploded drawing and it looks simple enough but has anyone got any tips (or bits) before I start taking it apart. Also, when it's done, should I expect around the 2fpe mark via a chrono when it's done?
Can anyone help please. A sight height to the bottom of the notch would be usefull if I have to make one
