1972 Benjamin 342 22cal was sitting in the pawnshop today.
I asked store owner how much and I walked out with gun for $60
No real marks on gun, has some fading on end of gun stock.
I put a few shoots through it and 4th/5th shot hit bullseye at 30ish yards. Only had jsb heavies in 22 cal left to try the gun with.
How did I do?

It did shoot the heavies better that I thought it would.
I'm real impressed that it still shoots, but other than some finish fade on stock, it seems this gun might have been put up or kept in the house for most it's life.
Seems I have a tree rat controller again. My pcp's are to much to shoot where I live after mod's.
Owner started mowing block behind my house and now a lot of people walk it. I still need to be carefull tho.

Another vote for a great score. $60 for a classic like that that still shoots is a home run in my book. Congrats.

Congratulations!
With shipping I've got about $100 in my 342.It's as ugly as sin but shoots great and holds air. Very little original finish remains.Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum Domes do the best of the several pellets tried so far.

Sorry I'm late with getting back.
I used some tung oil on the stock and the faded parts look a lot better.
If I can I'll throw up a few pics.
This has become my go to yard gun as my pcp's are way to much power for shooting in town.
Other than a little tung oil, I have done nothing to this gun and it's great.
I was pretty lucky.

Others have suggested to use photobucket when I first got started. It all seemed well and good. Until, they started loading it with pops up, countless amount of pop ups. Ever page a pop up. I downloaded the app and it's currently working better. So in due time they will make it infuriating to use with uncontrollable amount of pop ups. Thanks photobucket for allowing me to HATE sharing my moments with family, friends, and GTA brothers!!
From what I can see in your upside down pic. She looks good!! A big steal for 60 bucks

I used the "Attachments and other options" at the bottom of the "Reply" page. They will be tiny "thumbnail" but if you click on each one you will see them at the size I made them once resized.
You got a nice one, with that little refinishing and that stock looks NICE!
