Cleaning Up the Diana 5 Sight

Almost done...

The rear sight was a bit of a mess.

Removed the elevation screw.

The windage screw is retained by a cir-clip.

Best not to lose the ball and spring.

Mostly disassembled.

Rear sight blade is retained by a tiny cir-clip.

Blade off.

It's important not to lose that small bushing that fits over the spring.

I cleaned it and hit the worst areas with blue, etc.

The washer has a dimple that fits into the plastic piece.

Some grease helps hold the windage detent bearing and spring in place.

All back together.

Looks as good as the rest of the pistol. Returned it to the neighbor in better condtion than I received it.
