CORRECTION-THIS GUN DOES NOT FIRE AT 800 FPS. I AM GUESSING IT IS CLOSER TO 600 FPS

[@browngreen933]

When I got mine as a kid in 1966, the Benjamin 317 was advertised as 750 fps. It could shoot thru a 3/4 inch pine board.

[@Jared_Smith_99]

@browngreen933 this particular one leaks, and I don't think the check valve seals quite right, because it has low power

[@jbplays7302]

Have you tried resealing the rifle? I've got a 342, a 347, and a 392PA, which all need some repairs. Two of them have worn out rivets that hold the pump arm on. And I did an alcohol flush with all three. And now two of them will hold air, but still blow some air out of the bolt chamber. And the pump arm wont stay closed without holding it closed on the two that do hold air. Any suggestions??

That is similar to a Sheridan C. You can put a Red Dot on it if you want to replace the rear sight

classic

[@nutthrower4415]

Spent many a day with mine , still have it and just rebuilt it, it’s a classic

[@Jared_Smith_99]

Right? I sold mine since it doesn't perform as well as the others I've seen, but it was really fun to have.

Quality video and review

[@Jared_Smith_99]

Thanks

[@Jared_Smith_99]

Now watch them all

Banjo jam session.

You can get a peep sight that slides into that dovetail slot behind your cam plate. I found one on the ebays. Or you can snag a rear sight from one of the newer ones that attaches via set screws. Don't bother with the wedge boys.

[@Jared_Smith_99]

I'll check that out, thanks!

Hello

Hello

[@Jared_Smith_99]

What up

[@edwardmiles3921]

They are not 250 grams! They are 7.4 grains and there are 250 in the tin. Can’t you read? 250 grams is over half a pound

[@Jared_Smith_99]

It was a missread, I try to only do 1 or 2 takes if possible.

[@hoppeanhelicoptertours]

What did you use to clean the rifle?

[@Jared_Smith_99]

I used a standard 17 caliber cleaning kit, and gun oil.

[@Jared_Smith_99]

Just uploaded a short on cleaning with this gun
