You're right Ped, I tried ordering a while ago and got got fed up of waiting over 3 months. It was quicker and about the same price to order from US.

I found the Air Arms chronograph results. I originally bought the TDR off Tench and it had his regulator fitted, it gave 60 full power shots. It's now completely standard but it still shoots just as accurately.
One thing I've finally replaced is the annoying sliding bipod/sling stud with the fixed Harris no.6. It now stays in place when taking the bipod on and off.

Do you shoot your 312 much or is it more a collectors item? A few power cuts here in the neighbouring villages but hasnt affected us yet. I'm ready with my paraffin lamp and head torch though.

I shoot my Benji 312 very regularly, it is my favourite pumper, especially as it is in .22 and I'm starting to find .177 pellets more and more fiddly to load as I've got older!
Registered User
They are great fun to shoot and these pneumatics seem to like heavier pellets. It's difficult to find spares for them in the UK, I've just ordered a load of bits from US.

I took the Logun s16 to the range tonight, when set up properly they are good guns.

Back to enjoying the old Benjamin today after recieving some new parts from the US, no where seems to stock piston seals here anymore.
It was retaining too much air so I cleaned out old sludge and grease from the pump tube and polished the hammer. The spring looks original and uncut so I just stretched it a little. The piston was adjusted by 1mm to take up the wear and reduce head space. I replaced the missing rear sight and fitted new pump cup, piston link pin and roll pin replacements. The pump lever rivet is worn and sloppy and the pump handle spring looks like it may have been partly broken. Replacing all these should tighten everything up again.

I'm pleased you think so MarytnB, they're not everyone's cup of tea but I find them easy to work on and they're reliable.
