re-assmebly Diamond Arms

[bobc5269]

Well, I have an OOOLLLDDD Diamond Arms 12 Ga single shot that I know ain't worth much money wise, but it was the first gun I ever shot and I'm 63. I decided to take it apart and clean it and maybe shoot it again for old times sake. Well, I got it apart but when I removed one of the Pin/screws I heard a loud release sound inside. I got it all apart but need someone to re-assemble it for me. I know...... I'm a dumbass................. Any ideas??? Thanks.................... Bob

I feel your pain..took a French officers WWII .32 sidearm apart once...pretty quickly, but....


only 3 hours and prayer got it back together again....

at least you didn't hear a "ping", and caught a quick glance of a tiny essential spring go flying, at the speed of sound, out of sight in the shag carpet, steel grey colored of course....:smilet-digitalpoint

Happened to me and a Stevens pump, spring loaded screw in a garage.

A broom and a magnet produced, and I shit not, 13 similarly sized 3 thread screws that may have worked. I googled the parts disarm and checked against the other screws finish to guess which one was right. Thankfully, my neck stopped the spring, because I found 4 springs that could* have been it as well.

I'd google search and see of there's a youtube video, or parts diagram. Good luck
