Nice! Have you had a chance to chrony it yet? Curious how your repeating shot string is.
These are what I have. Have not worked on them yet, but should have time soon. The bottom one was from Dean’s collection.
Any chance it had a tag that said museum on it?

I’m guessing it has a leather pump cup? Maybe lube it like you would a leather piston seal? But guessing on my part, never been inside of the front pumpers. I don’t recall if it was that model, but on one of them the leather cup was the same size as the Coleman pump lanterns used. The early Benjamin repeaters I’ve seen, 710, 720, etc, are usually abused beyond repair. Rare to see one in that shape. Congratulations.

I wish I had enough interest and money to burn to have bought all 4 of the Museum Collection rifes, so rare to see them all together!
I could bring the 600 and the 150 pistol if you want them to hang out together for the day. The 150 is nearly in as good of shape as the rifles.

Curious how your repeating shot string is.Its crazy to me but after pumping it up a couple times, it seems to pump up like it should. I get a pretty powerful first shot and a weaker second with 5 pumps. I think 10 pumps is a full charge, I’m not going to put that strain on a 80 year old rifle. I will chrony the first shot when I have the time.
