Can't Help Myself

[Ronno6]

I have worked on a few Benji Bulldog .357 rifles, and find them to be pretty straight forward.(As long as I don't extract the breech seal..)
I have been keeping an eye open for a deal.
Ine popped up "untested, and we KNOW what that means...) on the bay for $360 + $30.00 shipping.

After due consideration,I passed it by. However, later I got a price reduction offer of $299 + shipping.
I grumbled and muttered a bit, then hit the button........

I just can't help myself.......

Congratulations and I do hope it doesn't take much effort on your part to get it shooting!

I received the Bulldog this morning.
Looks like new.......
Aired it up........I hear NO leaks.....
Fired off 1 round, WOW.........this thing IS a cannon!

Holding 1100# of air.............I'll let it sit for a while.
So far............so good
Sometimes you just get lucky!
Fingers crossed....

At least you hesitated, I want something I usually buy it right off.

My hesitation saved me $60.00.........

Awesome! Still holding air!? 🙏

It might have dropped from 1150 to 1100psi, but it is cooler today.......

That's great! When I fill my guns, they always drop a smidge when the fill air cools down....

10 days since airing up with 1150 psi.
The bulldog has lost about 350#........
Will I be able to locate such a slow leak??
Where to begin ??

That might not even be a leak. I would air it up and just continue to keep an eye on it.

First place I'd look is the air gauge.
After that,  the poppet.
Those are the two most common sources of leaks in any pcp.
Strip it down to the action, and sink it in the bathtub.
