Is there a current manuel for the Benjamin Air Gun?

not at all. the Benjamin has a pump handle like the rack of a shot gun below the barrel. the Crossman 3100 the barrel is what you **** the round in with. the Benjamin shoots pellets and bb's the Crosman only shoots bb's

Air guns have recoil both ways - front and rear - and this presents a challenge to mounting scopes on them. You need an airgun rated scope, and if it looks like the mount was cemented on, it probably was. There are a number of companies here in the US that work on them. I would check with Pyramid Air - they sell a lot of airguns, and they would be the first place to check. They will know who to contact for mounting the rail back on the gun, and then you will be on the way as long as you have an airgun rated scope. Country of Manufacture is a dicey proposition at best.- Benjamin was always a premium US airgun manufacturer, but today is anyone's guess.

Hello. Pellet guns are fun. It sounds like the air tanks seals are warn out and causing the air to leak out. The best thing to do is buy a new one. Good Luck.

pyramidair.com has a seal kit. it also comes with a diagram. Benjamin and Sheridan air rifles do not have springs to propel the pellet. also never use vasalin. specifically for a Benjamin or Sheridan you need to use pelgun oil (also found at pyramideair.com). use pelgun oil because it is a non detergent fossil compound) the main intention is to condition the seals every 250 rounds. never use silicon based lube for this gun specifically. silicone lube is for spring air rifles such as break barrels.

Spitting is usually caused by not filtering the paint through a strainer (made for the purpose by the paint manufacturer). The paint debris blocks the paint for just a moment, then spits it out. Easy fix!

The cylinder needs to be oiled. Its the same concept as a car jack.

Go to a gun store or a Dicks/Bass Pro/Wall mart for the oil.


Good luck!

I recently purchased a rebuild kit for my 342. I bought the kit from airgundepot. It was the kit for the
392 and I modified it a little. On the new plunger, you have to drill a hole in the center of it the same
size as the pin's smallest diameter. You can use all of the parts in this kit except for the small o-ring. I think it sold for about 39 dollars or so. My rifle was manufactured in 1972 and it fires like new.
