Benjamin Air Rifle Repair?

[bigdawg86]

Hey guys I know this is technically not "firearm" related, but it does have to do with a pneumatic high velocity projectile shooting apparatus... ie an air rifle.

Long story short, I have a late 60's Benjamin 22 caliber air rifle that was my late grandfathers... since someone duped my grandpa with alzheimers into selling his Garand and a few other guns for 200 bucks, this is all I was able to obtain. I have seen repair kits, but you need special tools that aren't available. It's more of a nostalgia thing than anything, but I would like to fix it.

Does anyone know of anyone who can fix these? (Probable needs seals).

Look for Tim McMurray, he's active on the yellow page.

Edit: Yes Tim, it's been so long I forgot his first name.

They appear to have manuals, seal kits, and a repair service. I can't vouch for them but I came across this site when I was trying to find out how to repair my Crosman 760.

I've had this thing since I was 10 years old (late 60's) and it probably hasn't worked in 25 years. They have a seal kit for $28 that I was thinking of buying but I decided to take it apart a few nights ago to see what it needed. As it turned out, it only needed 2 o-rings. I can't believe this things works as good as new. That really brought a smile to my face.
