RWS (Diana) Model 45 Disassembly, Part 3

On I go…If you like being bored by too many pictures of a trigger group, read on.

The trigger assembly.

10131130
Other side.

10131131
The safety pulls out. It is loose once the two dowel pins that retain the trigger assembly are removed.

10131132 A blurry look inside.

10131133
Yawn…

10131134
You’ll thank me if you ever have to put one back together.

10131135
This spring has been wanting to fly away since I took the action out of the stock.

10131136
I removed the circlip for the pin.

10131137
And pushed it out. Note that I store the circlip on the pin…

10131138
This is what you end up with.

10131139
Another pin..

10131140
And the sear comes loose.

10131141
Looks to be in pretty good shape .

10131142
Another view. Could use some polishing?

10131143
One last circlip held pin.

10131144
It’s a headed pin.

10131145
Another piece comes out. Notice the dimple for that spring end.

10131146
Now the trigger pivot pin.

10131147
The trigger is laminated steel and plastic.

10131148
It’s hard to tell but the piece the adjustment screws are in is plastic.


So that’s everything taken apart except the piston. I’ll clean everything up and lube as needed. See if it shoots better. The rifle wasn’t that dirty but seems dry – the only lube was some moly inside the piston sleeve.

What model is this trigger you're working on? And how do you tell the difference between the various trigger models?
Thanks!

Hello,
This is a great post!
I'm just wondering which model trigger this is and how do you tell the difference between the various models?
I also need a stock for the RWS Diana 45 I just bought. Fedex cracked the stock.
Thanks,
David

I don't rightly know. There's a RWS specific forum out there thaat has some people that love the minutiae of trigger designs.

Hi Neck,

In the photo before last, the trigger has plastic safety attachment. That attachment slips away from the trigger in my gun causing safety lock to fail. Is there any solution to this? Can you please provide photos showing how this attachment is connected?

Regards,

The last picture shows that it's laminated and I think molded or pinned in place. I'm guessing yours is broken somehow. You'll likely need to do a forensic deconstruction of the trigger assembly and then make a replacement of the plastic part or figure out how to fasten it again in place.
