Congratulations Fantumfan! :) Diana model 35 is a popular make/ model so I'm sure you would have no problems in procuring parts from overseas for a full restoration... Safe shooting!

Cheers!

Hi Mansih,

What you have there is the older model of the Diana 35.As Zafar has mentioned u should check out the barrel-maybe it needs to be replaced.But IMO these were better built than the newer versions.
Please go thru the links below-should help u somewhat!

Hi FF,

Congrats! The 35 is evergreen. Take cood care of it and I'll keep you happy for a long time.

Incidentally, a customer turned in one for bluing....which also brings up another little question- can anyone lead me to where in India I can get an "O" ring for the 35? ..."O" ring annulus at the breech...This 35 seems to have lost it.

Thought it'd be too much trouble ordering a measly o-ring from overseas.

Thanks,
cc

CC,

I recently replaced my IHP's breech seal (O ring). Bought it from an automobile shop for 1/-. You need to look for O rings used for oil seals. Get impression on a paper or use a vernier calliper to size it and get the closest size.
