Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Benjamin 317 Air Rifle, 1st des. 1934-40 manufacture

Here i have another item that i collected years ago. Tis is a 1st design Benjamin Air Rifle model 317 that was manufactured from 1934-1940. The first design is a push plunger under the barrel. This has on the left side of the receiver " Benjamin Franklin" That was how they scammed people 8 decades ago ! It is a Bejamin 317 as per the Brass behind the bolt states. . It can be pumped up to 10 times. The coloring on the barrel is mostly worn off. The barrel exterior and some other parts are made of brass. This pumps up. Shoots a 177 pellet as it fit perfectly and i tried it out. I am not 100 percent sure how to use it, When pushing down the 2' slide plunger to build up the pressure it does just that. It will push down to about 8" of seating. I did get a couple of pumps ito it to shoot it, it has some power with just 2 pumps. It seems like i am not doing something correctly . The plunger does build up sme wicked pressure but seems tough to seat to the bottom. This shoots perfectly. Reblack or blue it, polish it up to shine and ruin the patina in the works or just use it. Built better than todays crap! This is somewhere in the 78-84 years of age. I have it currently on Gunbroker for a starting bid of $149.00. If anyone is interested here on this site i will sell at $150 plus shipping. Within 2 hours of joing you all i sold 2 Ramline folding stocks ! Thanks! Buyer will pay Priority Mail shipping. Buyer will pay actual shipping. It wont fit in the large Priority flat rate box. If interested drop me a message with your zip code for shipping. I have 4 pictures on Gunbroker.

I tried putting pics on here but this site wont take my ipad pictures.

Awkward wording, new member with all posts in classifieds, no pictures.....

Gonna have to try harder pardner.

If you are legit, get your stuff together and welcome to the 'fire.

Otherwise......

I take it you think yourself this forums bully. I owe u nothing, i will tell you nothing, and you my friend remind me of our countries congress. All B.S. and nothing important to say. Have a nice day!

I'll have to agree with maplemkr1 on this: Brazos went a bit over the top for an unlikely scam - a $150 esoteric air rifle with a rather detailed description. You can't blame the OP for the cumbersome photo posting process of this site, heck most of the posts these days go without photos. Now if Brazos has some bad experience with OP, then please post for everyone to hear.

NO dog in this hunt, but pictures are what it takes to sell.

Yeah,
pictures are really tough to post...

Sold

wow sold it without pictures

Hey brainiac go back and read the post. I believe you will figure it out.

what's a brainiac

I ain't here to judge but instead of being a FNG acting like an azzhole a little civility would go a long ways

Man your to sensative ! Can't you tell when someone is screwing with you. Relax a little! I' not the big bad wolf!

I did sell the Bejamin air gun on Gunbroker. I just couldnt post any pictures here with my ipads. Tried but i would have had to post to a third party picture host. Ill figure it out when cows fly ! Ever had a cow fly by ? Its not pretty! We have a govenor that needs one to fly over him or better yet drop out of the sky and land on him.

Isn't a brainiac a fictional Star Wars character

Come on now! It was meant as sarcasim ! Actually i think a brainiac was an early computer. I remember hearing that name when i was a kid making wooden spokes for our Sunday go to meeting horse buggy !
