I lost mine. Does anyone
Have one to sell, if so please contact me
Would someone be kind enough to give me the dimensions off of one
Most important how deep does it go into the gun, I assume just 3-4 thread length.

Mark:
Just saw your post last night. Don't judge me, but I have three POST WAR Diana Model 5's. One has no manufacture date, but according to the Blue Book of Airguns, it was manufactured from 1958 to 1960. It has a wooden grip and tapered barrel. It has a different front sight than the other two. Let me know if this is the model that you have.
The second Model 5 has a plastic one-piece grip and a manufacture date of 10/68. It has the same sight as the third Model 5(G?) with a manufacture date of 08/89. These two have a front-most screw on the rear sight that is 5.2 mm overall with a tread length of 2.8 mm. The head diameter is 7.8 mm. The threaded portion has a diameter of 2.7 mm. The threads appear to be 42 / mm. That's mighty small stuff to see for my 70 year old eyes. I even had the 12 year-old kid from next door come over to look at the screw and the thread guage under a lighted magnifying lamp. He figured it was 42 / mm, too.
The Model P5 (manufacture date is 02/07) has an altogether different sight than any of the foregoing.
Hope this helps!

Try Chambers Gunmakers in Scotland. A little pricey, but when I can't find it anywhere else, they have it!
Look on their website under "Diana / Original" and then "Model 5 & 6 Rear Sight". See part number B1543.
You might be able to get it from Umerex, too? You'll have to check their website or call them. I think they're in Arkansas.
Best of luck!
