RARE(ER) Diana Model 6 “Original Beeman” 10m/Sporter Pellet Pistol .177 in very good overall cosmetic condition and perfect operating condition, with complete operating manual, scope mount, two extra original front sight inserts (for a total of 3 included inserts), original showcase box, and a few extra parts.  This is the rarest version of the Diana Model 6 as it has the “Original” Made for Beeman engraving which increases the original value by 25%.  This one is a definite collector’s item – especially in this condition.  Moreover, this pistol had the innards redone in 2014 by Umarex which included replacement of all the springs, piston seals, and breach seal including the internal lubrication and making sure the Giss double contra-piston action was all working well – so this pistol has about $150 (2014 pricing!) put into it assuring it’s going to function like new.  I have not shot it much since then so it needs more use that it gets.  The rear sight can be removed and the dovetail scope mount inserted in its place for the use of a red dot or pistol scope.  This pistol does not have a safety just so that you are aware.

 

This Model 6 consistently currently chronies around 380fps with 8.18gr wadcutters which is close to the advertised 400fps spec.   Produced from 1960 to 1978, this one appears to have a “10/78” stamp on it so it’s almost 47 years old.  It has a 7.1” tapered barrel, adjustable trigger, 16.5” OAL, and weighs 2.9lb.  I am only selling this pistol to thin the herd as it’s a shame to let any of these iconic pistols fall into disuse – it’s time to allow someone else to enjoy it.  A nice addition to your pistol collection and fun to shoot indoors or outdoors.  The pistol is in very good cosmetic condition but does have some minor wear on the plastic as shown in pics-- all my pistols listed (unless specified otherwise) are clean and in perfect working condition. 

 

This pistol has plenty of other info and reviews on the web so I don’t plan to provide any further dissertation extolling the virtues of this airgun, so please feel free to do your research to decide if this is an airgun you would like to own. 

 

If this airgun is not to your liking or interest, you may find one of my other current E-bay airgun listings more suitable.  I will be listing quite a few quality airguns through 2025 so please be sure to check these current listings.  My listing prices are determined by many factors including relative availability of this particular item, whether it's a current production vs. out of production, its overall condition, any additional features or add-ons, as well as consideration of free shipping from PA and other E-bay seller's fees.

 

FREE ECONOMY SHIPPING!  SORRY…CONUS SALES ONLY!

 

Shipped only where legal and your purchase acknowledges that legality.  I am also on the former Yellow Forum BOI and the current Airgun Warriors BOI as both an airgun seller and buyer with all positive feedback.  If you're looking for a beat-up, abused airgun at a giveaway price - my airgun listings are not for you - I am not desperate for cash so please do not send messages with silly lowball prices. 

 

DISCLAIMER - PLEASE READ BEFORE CONSIDERING ANY AIRGUN PURCHASES !!

As a personal policy, I don't accept any returns or give refunds on the airguns I sell as the listed airgun is working as described (unless clearly stated otherwise) when sold and I cannot account for any misuse or damage once a buyer begins to use the airgun.  Again no returns or refunds!  Unfortunately, there are too many scammers getting airguns (especially vintage ones) and removing parts from them then trying to return the airgun... so, in no way, shape or form do I accept returns as stated...if you can't abide by these simple terms, this listed item is not for you!!!  IF YOU BUY IT, YOU NOW OWN IT AND YOU MAY FEEL FREE TO RESELL IT ACCORDINGLY.  My feedback is a 100 percent positive on E-Bay, Airgun Warriors BOI, American Airgun Classifieds, and the former Yellow Forum BOI.  I have a good reputation in the airgunner world so feel confident with a safe and easy transaction, as well as fast, secure, and tracked shipping.  I have shipped airguns to many parts of the world and they are extremely well packed.  I truly regret that these terms may appear harsh to some but unfortunately my experience with dealings in today's world has necessitated these terms for my own protection.

As you can see, I do as much research as I can on each listing and attempt to describe it as accurately as possible - - the buyer will need to assume all risk so DO NOT purchase unless you agree to these terms!

 

Further, the buyer assumes all responsibilities for laws pertaining to or regarding the ownership, use, or carrying of this item.  The buyer must be 18 years of age to bid or purchase this item.

Please review all of the pictures listed and judge for yourself on the overall condition.  I will be happy to provide as many other pictures that you request if necessary but also remember that others are also considering purchasing this item so time is often of the essence.  You will receive the exact item(s) listed and what you see is what you will receive.  If you have any questions please ask them as I have no problems with total self-disclosure.  Please be sure to research the airgun yourself to make sure this is a good fit for you and keep in mind that many vintage airguns or "higher-end" airgun listings may not be the best choice for novice or inexperienced airgunners.

 

As with all airguns I sell, it sold as-is and there are no guarantees on seals.  With older airguns the seals can fail anytime especially not knowing when seals were changed last, if ever.  If I have records that an airgun was resealed at a particular time I will disclose that, though I may not have actual records remaining.  For privacy reasons I CANNOT disclose the names or contact information of my personal airgun tuners or airgunsmiths and I only do basic maintenance on my own airguns.  I attempt to provide full disclosure, maintain a good reputation in the airgun world, and do not/will not sell junk or malfunctioning airguns unless stated otherwise in detail.

Thanks for looking and feel free to ask any questions or request further pics prior to purchasing!

This listing complies with eBay's air gun guidelines found here and I will only sell and ship air guns to buyers in jurisdictions where permitted by applicable laws:
