Diana 820 Barrel question?

Post by kanoradodave »

Can anyone tell me if the barrels are threaded or glued in at the factory?
I purchased one with several bad spots in the barrel. Sent a email to Diana but since ownership changed they didn't even bother with a reply. Anyone have first hand knowledge of rebarreling one of these?
Any recommendations on a gunsmith who would have knowledge of one of these? I believe they are fairly rare.

Based on my recollection of one that I had, the barrel is more than likely pressed and pinned in. Look carefully for one or 2 pins thru the receiver in the tenon area. The pins may not be clearly visible if they were polished over before bluing.
