Looking for diana 27 spring kit

[Grin_Reaver]

I was looking for a maccari or vortek spring/complete tuning kit for my late model diana 27 which has lost its oomph but could not find anything. I am open to other high quality parts as well.

Can someone point me to the right direction. Preferably a website that ships worldwide at affordable rates.

ME TOO !!! My .177 diana md 27 is 30 + years old. Has spent lot of time in the closet 'cause it lacked the power to put down the vermin on my old 3 acre homestead. I loved that gun, still have it and wish for more power. Anyone know of a spring or gas piston power plant replacement?

Since I didnt get a response here I made an account on GTA forum and got following replies. (the last link is for chambers and they have almost all the parts for Diana 27 but it is a UK website.)

Try calling either Vortek or Jim Maccari directly either one will be able to help you I'm sure They may ask you the wire diameter and number of coils so be prepare to answer those questions

While checking things, confirm the diameter of your compression tube. Current Dianas use a 28 mm tube. Older ones used a 26 mm compression tube. If yours is old enough it may even have a leather piston seal.

For the spring, wire diameter and number of turns are good to know, as well as the inside diameter as it will have to fit over your spring guide.

Good luck with your classic Diana!

HEY GRIN_REAVER Never thought it would seem so easy to get info my Md 27. I'll have to look up some of the youtube info on removing a spring that is still working. I remember seeing a few made compressors. Still hard to believe I have that air rifle. I bought it used but it appears to be a later 28 mm model THANKS!! GBGUNNER
