Restored a 1958 Benjamin Pump Pellet gun

Post by Pepi »

My buddy died last year and his wife gave me his old air pistol. Pretty rough shape but I decided to restore it. I put in a new air chamber and wooden grips and did a polish job on it. Sweet shooter out to 25 years.

That’s nice , reminds me of the old Beeman my dad had when I was growing up. I think he fixed it a few times and might have gotten rid of it.
Those older pellet guns are fun for target shooting in the backyard
