    Original mod 5 & 6G's

    I've got two and a half of these in a box back home, basically I have a working mod 5 and mod six, both in need of a reseal, plus most of another mod 5.
    A 6g was the first airgun I ever took apart, about 34 years ago.... I've had these about two years and when I got them I was all enthusiastic and set too on the mod 5 to get my eye in. Then I couldn't figure the trigger out!
    It all went back in the box and I forgot about them, until now...
    I want a 10m pistol for fun club use and the 6 would be ideal. Can anyone walk me through what to do with the trigger.
    It's all theoretical until Friday when we get home, but if I have some idea beforehand it would be very useful.

    The guy at anotherairgunblog.blogspot.com has done a bunch of Diana pistol work, well described and meticulously illustrated.

    Ok, things at work are getting busier, not quieter as expected for August. I have only three weeks til I go back to France and I just don't have time to strip these.
    Is there anywhere I can send them to have them resealed? If so, is there anywhere that can have at least the Mod 6 done and back to me by Sept 6th?

    Trying to encourage you to have a go at least with the 5. Did one this morning, seal rotted as usual. Took pics of trigger group which fits together very easily.

    And I would've done, but I simply don't have the time. We're away for a month from mid September and I have two shooting weekends to get to first. Mid summer is usually slow for work, but this year it's gone crazy and the machinist has taken two weeks off!

    The good news is at least they will get done. The even better news is I may end up with a twin barrel set mod 6!!
