Fella at my club broke his rear sight on his Diana 34 TO6 Classic in .22. Wanted me to get a replacement.
Major vendor has them for sale for $41 shipped (out of stock). That is quite a price for a rifle that runs $280.
Keep your old sight when you scope your gun. You don't want to have to buy them again.

Always willing to help a brother out.
Yeah, replacement sights aren't cheap... Years, ago I bought a FWB-124 (missing the front sight) and an old model Diana 45 (missing both the front and rear sight) from a local pawn shop... both rifles had cheap scopes on them.
I pretty much always use scopes, but I wanted the rifles complete so I wanted the correct sights... I got the FWB-124 from Beeman (this was around 1997), and the Model 45 sights from a local airgun shop (sure miss that old shop).
I forget exactly what I paid, but they weren't inexpensive, especially considering what I paid for the rifles since they were used.
When I remove sights to mount a scope, I always keep them in a little bag and labeled what gun they came from... I wish everybody would do that, but bad stuff often happens when the owner dies or forgets what he did with the sights... or if the gun is stolen... then the owner probably sells the sights somehow, like ebay, or they end up in a junk drawer.
@jim_in_pgh Rear sight for Diana 34 t06. I need one if you still have? Thanks Jim
Sorry, but I only have one left. I'm keeping it if I ever want to de-scope my 34N.
@hector_j_medina_g how much do you want for it? Thanks Jim
Usually these transactions are better dealt with over a PM, as I requested; but since you ask publicly, I will answer:
Nothing as far as $ for me goes.
I will just need you to commit to re-imburse cost of shipping (about $10.80 via Priority Mail tracked and insured). And to write a note to M&G / DIANA because without their help I wouldn't be able to do this.
If you agree to this, then send me a PM with your postal address.
Thanks!

@hector_j_medina_g That would be great. Thanks Jim.

Keep us posted!

@hector_j_medina_g Got It and it looks great. One stupid question? The rear screw is too short. Is there something I’m doing wrong? Thanks Jim

To make sure everything got there without damage I took the elevation screw out and took the fixation screws out.
You need to reverse the process:
Take the elevation screw out, open the cavity of the sight, drop the screws in, close the sight and reattach the elevation screw.
Do note that the elevation screw goes into a barrel nut in the body of the sight, so you need to ensure that the thread aligns well when re-assembling the sight.
Also have care with the spring.
Keep well and shoot straight!

@hector_j_medina_g thanks, thought there was something I was missing. Works. How much do I owe you. And many thanks for your support. Jim
I think postage was printed in the label wasn't it?
The Thank You note needs to be sent to:
Info@diana-airguns.de
Let me know if postage wasn't printed in the label.
