Something to check before starting a reseal. Hold the 310 up in profile against a light source and check if there are any gaps in the solder holding the barrel to the tube.
Resealing the gun is rather easy, but if the solder is failing you may be better off trading it in according to Tim's suggestion (and then send the modern benji to Tim to be steroided
).
I've resealed a 310 and it is pretty straightforward as long as you have the tool, but all I've read about resoldering an old benji make it sound like a true PITA and not many folks are willing to do it.

Slothart, I do not see any gaps as you suggested. How does the Crosman trade in option work, I'm not familiar with that.
I don't know if this gun is worth playing with or not. I am a little hesitant to tear into an air gun after working on large sized equipment all my life I tend to be afraid of breaking little tiny stuff like this.
