... If you need additional pix let me know.BTW; your 3151 doesn't show up in either diagram. Probably was an aftermarket piece.
Sorry Scott. You were right. Here's a better look at it.

Ever felt the need to crawl in a hole & hide. I stand corrected. Oh Marty, I feel for you. I think you have now taken the position as the "Go TO Guy" for vintage 312's.Need to have your Ducks in a row as your statements will be presumed as fact in the future. I thought I knew a good bit about the early days but I then felt it is like herding cats. Too many years of lost documentation over the decades, especially with the Crosman accusation. God love ya for trying to sort this out!

Thanks for sharing the information. Here's my ole 312:Thanks for the photos. Same gun although I am trying to sort out a time line between '42 & '43. As it currently stands the only way is through documentation. This is why I am trying to determine a transition period between the one & two piece bolt handle. Do you have any other suggestions that might help & do you have any docs for the gun?
Thanks Scott. It's a journey for all evolved. BTW; would you mind posting pix of your 2 section bolt handle? Just curious how it compares to the parts graphic.

Do you have any other suggestions that might help & do you have any docs for the gun?Unfortunately, I have no documentation for my 312. Gathering information is challenging and rewarding. Perhaps setting up a web site dedicated to the Benjamin 312 (310 and 317 also) with all the information you already have and inviting other collectors to share what they have will help. It would be beneficial to have all the information in one place to study. It does take a lot of work though.
Thanks Scott. Looks the same. Are you sure the original pump cup wasn't a 'leather pump washer' (3119)? This is another part that might narrow the timeline; leather to neoprene
Gun scheduled to arrive on the 20th.
