I got lucky with that one. 2-piece bolt, target style safety, and no serial. The pump arm and piston came from my '60 317. I had to replace the exhaust valve (JG Airguns is great to deal with) and put in a Mac-1 inlet and seals. Held air for 24 hours so I shot it today. Avg 593 with jsb 14.35s'. Its retaining air and I'll deal with that later, but for now I'm happy its back to life. Does anyone know if this rifle had pins or screws for the pump handle? Pre-'53? picture is original piston and link.

Nice score bro. The pump handle holes are they just about the size of the pin, 3/16? If the hole looks like it's been bored out and a good bit bigger then 3/16 it may have had screws and they got replaced with pins later. I've never had a Benji though with screws on the forearm.

The pump handle is not original to this 312, it came off my '60 317, I'm trying to figure out what it would have had originally. I put it on this one to see if it's worth putting back together. And that's a yes!

Good find on the 312. Yep... the pump handle is the same and is held on by pins. Check with Rick at Precision Pellet, he may have something for you.
If it retaining air you may want to grab a hammer spring from Rick as well. Parts are cheap and he's great to deal with. Give it a good once over so you only have to place one order. Might even grab a seal kit to keep on hand as a spare. I've seen these yard sale finds respond well to a good lubing only to fail a few days later and need resealed.

bee hive safety and straight bolt would've had screws in the pump arm I think
my 50's 312 has screws not pins

Pretty easy to check... are the holes in the metal threaded?

Yep, check for threads...My Pre-Serial 312 with a bullsey safety has screws on both sides.
Nice find! Especially for $2

My best yard sale find was a Cr 147 BP. I was looking around a rather boring yard sale. there was a pile of rusty old yard tools leaning against the garage and a gun in the pile caught my eye. (I seem to see guns where ever they are, regardless of my weak sight) It was obviously an old Crosman pumper. I asked him how much and he said "oh that's the free pile". That's my favorite price. Turned out to be more dusty and oily than rusty and, after some ATF encouragement, it shot fine. I ended up letting it go but before I did, I had fun dropping 5 BB's down the barrel and using it like a shot gun. It would put them BB's inside of 3" at 30 feet at over 450 fps on ten pumps. Rodents beware.
