Hey all...
Didnt really know there was an airgun section, or would have asked about this before now. Have a .177 benjamin model 347, I got circa +/- 1979. I'd like to do a complete gasket overhaul on it. The o rings, the felt gaskets, the roll pins holding the pump lever. Also, something broke on the cocking mechanism, that now allows the 'bolt' to move while it is cocked and loaded. Allowing the pellet to fall out. The springs that provides resistance when cocking is still there and functioning properly. But something else has broken over the years, that needs attention. Any recommendations to a trusted vendor of repair kits, would be appreciated. Insight to what needs replaced on the cocking assembly that allows the bolt to flop in the wind, would also be great. 
ETA: Also would like to replace any/all springs that are used. ~-~-~-~- ghetto sig line....Looking for a Sears and Roebuck, 20ga pump shotgun, Ted Williams model w/ external adjustable choke. Send me IM to discuss -~-~-~-~

This isn't a close call, and I don't just say that because I already do business with him and consider him a friend.
I can go anywhere I need to, but if I needed what you do, I would go to Mac-1 and have that baby dolled up! Tim took those things to a level I never imagined till I stumbled into his shop. Give his web site a look, but then give him a call to talk about what you want done on yours. He can go from stock to hot rod is the best metaphor I can come up with. http://www.mac1airgun.com/steroidbenjaminsstreaks.html I used these when I was a kid shooting river rats and musk rats, wait till you see what he can do to one. |

I'll second this recommendation. Timmy Mac is the man to go to for old Benjys and Dans. Great old rifle, btw. I have a weakness for 70's era 340 family pumpers. Not that long ago I saw a 347 in great shape still in the original box with the original unopened green can pellets for sale on the AA, but I was too slow and missed it. |
