Who can refurbish a Benjamin 342?
« on: April 02, 2009, 05:30:28 PM »
   I have a Benjamin Franklin model 342 that I bought sometime in the mid '60s. The seals are bad, as are the pivot points. It need a complete going over. I'm not really an airgunner, but this is a piece of my youth that should be put back in service. Can anyone suggest where I could send it for a rebuild?
                                                                                                              Thanks,
                                                                                                              Dale....(tap)

 Mac-1 airguns in Gardena CA did mine about 15 years ago. Still working good...

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

   Thanks folks. I'll check out those leads. Several years ago, I cut out a classified from Shotgun News that specialized in this type of work, but I've lost it...................Thanks again...Dale...(tap)

I would also note that some of the guys do more than retuirn them to original .. rebuild with better fit and longer power stroke and great increase in velocity...
