Ancient Diana Needs Help

[yoopper]

A friend recently gave me an old Diana pre WW II (mod 27?). The main spring has lost its temper and needs fixing. Does anyone have a source for parts for this old lady? Has anyone ever rehardened a main spring? Any insights will be appreciated .
Thanks

You have to join to post, worth the effort IMO.

Sounds like a fun project.

Chambers carries some parts for the D27 if you don't mind ordering form the U.K.

Air Rifle Headquarters can make a custom spring if they have nothing compatible in stock. Just give them the specs of the old spring.

Vortek can hook you up with a custom spring also.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
