Howdy , looking for info on this RWS model 6 (G) , just purchased from a barn sale. Cocks fine, no power to push pellet . Should I rebuild or send out for repair? What is this scope ? Is this an add on Beeman device on muzzle? Any idea of value as is? Appreciate any info. Shoot Straight and God Bless America. Thank You.

If it was mine I would call D. Slade for a rebuild. As far as the other items to dark for me to tell, quite possibly Beeman.

the pistol is a Diana model 6GS for the most part
the S stands for scope
so, the condition is just okay, there is enough rust to tell me it will take some work to make right
if the pistol was rebuilt and in 90+% you are looking at a 350.00 pistol and the scope after looking at it would add not value for me
i am a realist, the condition minus the need for a rebuild i might have paid 150.00 to 175.00 and seeing that there are no sights i might have just looked at it as a parts gun

Thank you for the reply, picked it up for $25. Think I'll get it repaired and shoot it. The scope is stamped Oxford ,looking for some info on it, must be some kind of early red dot apparatus. I'm assuming the Beeman addition to the muzzle is for stabilization. Thank you aging for your expertise.

DO NOT TRY TO SHOOT IT AGAIN , Until repaired . you can cause a lot of damage and $$ to repair . Call David Slade for repair , but expect $$ . Google Diana model 6 pistol , it is a recoilless pistol when working properly .
I have the pistol and two rifles ,

well you aren't going to lose any money at that price 100% of us would have done the same thing
so the GS models be it a Model 5 or 6 had a barrel weight and the dovetail mounted to the tube
i know that RWS offered them i would have to look and see if Beemen did but at one time both those pieces barrel weight and dovetail were easy to find and add
well the sight info took about 3 seconds to find
