Looks like a fine, compact rifle. I prefer the side or underlever rifles to the brake barrels. You can get the springs and other parts for them online. A bit of time to take it apart, clean it up and reassemble with the proper lubes (non-petroleum based) would smooth it out and slick it up and turn it into an even more pleasant shooter. There are all kinds of tips and tricks to getting them shooting well, the Dianas are great rifles.

Another tip - they can be as fussy as a 22 LR about what they will and won't shoot well. A bit of investment in the pellet department and some time spent with targets can yield very spectacular results.
