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 -
