I have started running with a bunch of "dangerous" men......they are air gunners. They have influenced me........it's all their fault..........
I bought the Crossman shown in this list, then a Chinese underlever gun, then got a Slavia break barrel from Bubba, then got my Dad's old 1947 crossman pump rifle rebuilt, bought a cheap Chinese springer pistol......and last Saturday found a sweet Benjamin Franklin 347 pump rifle in .177.....solid brass construction with walnut stock. My name is piper, and I am an addict.
I took the new old Bennie in to the shop today and (perhaps wrongly) washed off the spray lacquer stuff the factory had put on it in 1981, and began linseed oiling it. I know.....that's not original, but I USE things and the oiled stock will be more fun to handle and probably survive better.
Jdupre', bring extra pellets, because you are gonna love this one.
