Restoring an Old Air Rifle

Post by Moin. » Wed May 29, 2013 6:14 pm

Hi Gents,

A dear friend has an old RWS Diana 25 Air Rifle to be restored. The rifling is in pretty good nick but the bluing has totally work out. The Front sight has gone missing and the rear is damaged too. The stock is cracked. This gun has some sentimental value and therefore he wants it restored. What would be the approximate cost to bring this what appears to be a piece of junk to its former glory and where can this be done preferably in Mumbai. Any advise would be much appreciated. I will post a few pics by this week end.

Many thanks in advance.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.
