Well we'll see what happens Steve. He's hinting at selling each as a unit. Can't say I blame him.He needs to realize that large lots should demand a discount, saw that at the auction I attended last week. Probably a tuff sell to a serious collector? The auction was an estate, no one to convince. But then you have to sell what you don’t want.

Yes, all Sheridan air rifles were .20 cal.
I located an earlier 3XXPA, photo below. It’s Serial is #995702284 (Sept. '95) per gun owner. Gun is currently for sale on Gunbroker (https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/801328551). This would indicate the change from “P” to “PA” designation occurred during the 1995 model year. So we now have “PA” w/”P” style trigger from 1995 thru 1997.
Here we go; went back to my files remembering that I asked the owner of that gun for a closeup serial pic; Nov. 1999. So, the "PA" style trigger first appeared sometime during the '97-'99 model year. More data needed.
I'm confused on the 392PA model I don't have one, but I've seen pictures of the 392PA with the short forearm and with the longer tapered forearm. Was there both Benjamin/Sheridan and Crosman versions? With the Crosman one having the longer tapered forearm? And when did the longer tapered forearm first appear?

And when did the longer tapered forearm first appear?Here is a quote from "Flint", GTA's authority when it comes to earlier Benjamin's....around 2000 the stocks change to look exactly like the sheridan C9A stocks but are still walnut (full length forearm with white spacer butt plate)a couple years later all the stocks change again so they are super squared off looking and they drop the white spacer, maybe no longer walnut2005, all stocks change again to current style and definitely no longer walnut
You don't know how tough it is for me to let this one go. If it was one year younger I'd be all over it!!!On the bay right now...

It must be somewhat newer, it has the safety in the trigger guard.Best Wishes - Tom
I'm pretty excited to have found both these factory peep sight 273's. Both are in exceptional condition. Latest one on the right. Doc's with regards to size only specifies small, medium, & large. If I were to guess I would say these are small & medium. I think they work exceptionally well on my '42 Benji's. They're rear sights do not adjust for elevation. If you ever run across one of these & are not interested please let me know.
