In 1977 Benjamin acquired the Sheridan airgun company then in 1991, both Benjamin and Sheridan operations were acquired by the Crosman Corporation, who to this day remain big players where airguns are concerned Stateside.īenjamin’s long history of manufacture gives this model added desirability, and it’s certainly a rifle that would look good on display.
Manufactured in St.Louis, in the USA around 1965, this model hails from the original Benjamin factory, founded by Walter Benjamin in 1899. Visually neat with the outward profile more akin to a pump-action shotgun than an airgun, but the streamlined, rather simple profile holds great appeal. The second hand gem in the spotlight here is the classic Benjamin Franklin model 317, and this one comes into the latter category. I’ve always had a penchant for self contained airguns be they single, or multi stroke pumps.
