Benjamin 397P Phase 1

[--ped--]

those will possibly the last i'll do as no real demand for them -i may do a few for myself as i have around 10-12 sheridan/benji's
i'm doing a different style for my 13xx pins and just need to make the 8-32 round nuts

Nice job ratbuster.
I have a similar Sheridan C9A made in March 2011 (serial no 31170456) -- does it have a cartridge type valve?

That's a keeper AllanM, the new equivalent versions now have plastic stocks.

I believe yours has the cartridge valve, so in the unlikely event it ever needs new seals you won't need any special tools other than a phillips screwdriver.

Lovely refresh; thank you for sharing. May it give you many years of sterling service and happy memories.

Great assistance from ped.

Thanks TonyL, it's kept me busy. It's a cheaper hobby than tinkering with cars and takes up less space.

Waiting for a silencer adaptor and barrel scope mount now for some serious garden plinking.

the streak ones i supply don't really fit the benji short barrels as well as the streaks (post 77)
i may have an eb one i can alter to fit

You need website Ped, I didn't know you did these as well. I just ordered one from the auction site.

That's interesting, I didn't know they had succumbed to plastic stocks -- Balistas have them in stock for 240 Euros, probably even cheaper at Walmart!
I know the C9A series are not as collectable (yet!) as the more graceful C pumpers but they shoot just as well as the older models.

[ratbuster2240]

Thanks I don't think I've visited that site before, it says wood stock models are out of stock but they have the plastic ones.

[ratbuster2240]

I recieved the silencer adaptor and I was looking forward to using it this weekend but unfortunately the lip on the underside stops it sliding on the barrel and needs about 5mm removing.



I added an Allen stock shell holder I usually use for co2 bulbs, this is ideal for keeping pellgun oil with the rifle, vital for all that pumping. Also spent shotgun cartridges which hold around 50 pellets.

Very grateful you could make me a set.
