Old Benjamin Air Pistol Today

*Sigh*

I had one of those when I was 15.

Bought it with the money I made at the local frosty & burger joint.

It was that same model, but with brown plastic stocks.

I was supposed to be my "companion" gun to go with my 5mm Sheridan Blue Streak. Of course they couldn't share ammo.

Sadly, I was a crummy shot with the pistol. No training. Self taught. Just never got to where I could reliably hit anything with it.

Today that might be a different story.

Hello friends and neighbors // Outstanding, nice of someone to store it for forty years so you could enjoy it. At least it looks from here like new.

$30.00 in 1970, explains why I never had one.

Did you find it at a flea market, yard sale or online?

Good find and great find!

I have the .177 version and it shoots quite well for as old as it is. it was really fun to shoot with the steel darts.

very nice. I've had one with black plastic grips for years and it's never failed. Lot's of fun to shoot inside in cold weather. Put a hurtin' on a few squirrels too.

I have the same one!!! but it doesn't hold air!

I bought it for $10 bucks 25 years ago even though it was broke then too.

Great find RC!

Awesome find. I'm just getting my boy, 5yrs old, into shooting cans in the back yard. Gamo Mod PR-45. I love the pneumatics. Nice and quiet.

Those were great little guns. I had one as a kid and probably shot it 10,000 times.
Don't know what ever happened to it, but I don't remember it breaking.
Nice find.
