I gather books and interesting stuff about most of my hobbies, including this one.
Recently, I found a website called gunmanualsonline.com that is based out the UK. it sells manuals, books, drawings, etc. about virtually all the air rifles I am aware of and many that I am not!!! There is a whole list of other vendors in their database. While I didn't dig into that part, I think you can find and download manuals for individual rifles.
For about $20 including shipping, I got a DVD of dozens of books about both powder and air rifles, gunsmithing, old-time books (P.O.Ackley was one author) among many. There was a bunch of pdf's about the Giradoni (sp?) air rifle reputed to have been taken by Lewis and Clark on their expedition. Dr. Beeman was heavily involved in the research. Lots of other interesting stuff too.
BUT for the DIANA user, it includes information about Diana air rifles dating back to Model 1 up to the present. Copies of user manuals, exploded part drawings, etc and supposedly some information on repairs - I haven't found that yet!!
Thought you might like to know about it.
