I have a different one which is incomplete, missing the screw in eyepiece: http://s133.photobucket.com/user/mag...ml?sort=3&o=12

Does anyone have a spare eyepiece for the second one, (ignore the threaded bit sticking out) and or a complete peepsight of any sort to fit my other rifle (same fitting)?
Hi

I am fortunate to have be given a number of old airguns by a friend who says he is now beyond caring for them. Amongst them is a 1959 Benjamin Franklin 317 and I thought you might like to see pictures of how he restored it, added a silencer and an Australian peep sight. I am not really very familiar with these types of air rifles but have been very impressed with its accuracy and ease of pumping. See it here -
