Replace main seals in Diana/Original Model 6G

Rub in a small amount of molybdenum disulphide paste onto the piston body and inside the pistol main spring chamber. This will form a dry-ish permanent lube.

ALternatively use Abbey SM50 lube oil which is silicone plus moly.


Carefully feed the piston back into the main chamber. The rack is on the grip side of the pistol so that the sear slots actuate against the sear. Putting it in 180 degrees out will not allow it to be cocked or fired!

There are several catch points in the cocking slot and trigger sear openings which will need careful probing with a blunt screwdriver or hoof stick to prevent shaving off a piece of the nice new washer. The front end of the cocking slot needs the washer lip to be probed out of the way at two places simultaneously. You will also have to keep the sear out of the way at times.


TAKE CARE!


If dry, apply a little high moly gun grease to the spring. Only apply enough to 'wet' the spring.


Replace the cocking lever now so that the piston can be easily rotated to locate the cocking slide in the piston slots.


Refit the cocking lever pin.
