- This little airgun was bought by my father but I've taken it off his hands to try and fix up. It's an old Hector junior rifle but is the same as the Diana model 1

That's cool! You did an excellent job of explaining the break down. Looking forward to seeing this one finished out. I love seeing different projects like this and good for you taking it on so that it doesn't just go to some idiot.
Thanks, I like a bit of variety in the shed. Going to give the stock a rub down and new coat of oil but not going over the top, if I can get it to shoot a pellet more than a yard it'll be a win.
Man that gun was used for sure! nice video!
Cheers, it had definitely seen better days! It was a fun project and is taking a well earned retirement now.
@@Bloodshed.restorations lol! I love old guns
Hello Alex, That air rifle looks like a 12 gauge shot gun single barrel, my family had one from years ago. . If you can't find any packing, maybe you could make some from leather. Thats going to be a fun restoration. Looking forward to the finish. I noticed there were 4 or 5 notches on the stock. Do you think that could have been from previous kills made with the air gun. Good luck with it.
Hi Dale, i agree, it does look like a mini shot gun. Great minds think alike, I managed to order some assorted leather discs off Ebay for next to nothing, think I might give it a smarten up while I'm at it. I did wonder about the notches myself, though they might have been for extra grip but I highly doubt kick back will be too much of a problem 😁
