Hi. Anyone know where to get seals and a parts diagram for this ? I understand they are a little tricky to take apart. Mine is still shooting ok, but it was my fathers and sat for many years, and due to it's age probly needs attention. Cool pistol, thanx, tk

I believe it is a re-badged Diana 6. If so here are some links: http://www.airrifleheadquarters.com/catalog/item/251485/5087340.htm

It is a rebadged Diana 6, indeed.
AWESOME pistols, one of my all time favorites.
I had the springs and piston seal changed 15 years ago and it still shoots just as hard and accurate today as the day I bought it back in 1986.
Please post some pictures of it, we don't see too many of these around and we'd love to see it.

I'll try and post pics; never done that. This one is stamped 09 81. It was in Florida, but thankfully climate controlled so it is in nice shape. As previously stated, it is shooting right now, slightly hotter than my p3, so probly 425-450. I don't want to shoot it much before replacing the seals as I understand damage my occur if the seals completely fail. Great trigger, easy to cock. I've read alot of posts disuading others from attempting to work on this model. The nice vintage guys sent me a couple tutorials, and I will look through those to see if I feel comfortable taking this apart. JM has the seals and springs; I have no idea how much this was shot; it was purchased new by my father and I am guessing it was not used much. It did go back to Beeman under warranty at one time according to reciepts, I believe for low velocity.

Tink I see how to do it; gotta take pics and I'll do that this eve, tk

JM sells the seal kits for the 75's, so he might have them for the model 6.  When you are ready to reseal it, ask over on the Dianawerk forum who's the man for this.  I can't think of his name right off, or if he is still doing these Giss guns.  They are tricky to work on.

Tried to post pics; said error file was too large, sorry, tk

[Nikoman]

You can email them to me and I'll size 'em down for you.

[tomykay12]

Pics, resized and all... gotta learn something new every day, lol, tk

Sweet!
Love the Beeman stamping and logo, that looks fantastic.
I still have those same grips for mine, I switched them out immediately for the wood match grips when I bought the pistol.
I still have all the different sight inserts for it too.

What year is that Beeman marked one you got there?

[tomykay12]

Stamp on left reciever says 09 81. Not going to shoot it any more until I decide what to do with it. I only fired it maybe 5-8 times, and the velocity seemed consistent. Might shoot it once more through the chrony though. I think I have wood grips for this as well; they were mixed in with some colt firearm stuff and I couldn't figure out what they fit. Bet they fit this Beeman. Thanx for the interest, tk

[Nikoman]

Do the grips look like this?

[tomykay12]

Nope, kinda sculpted, but no palm shelf. Thinking my dad made them; he did stuff like that., tk
ps, some sight inserts as well
