Title: Benjamin 312 seals
Post by: Harves on December 10, 2019, 07:30:54 PM

My 1969 vintage Benjamin 312 .22 caliber, which I just un-boxed from storage isn’t holding a charge. Who do recommend that I contact for repair?

I recommend oiling it up with some  30W ND non-detergent motor oil or hydraulic jack oil and work that through it first.  Sometimes that's all they need.

darkcharisma on this forum is working on mine now.  Not sure if he wants to take on another one, but he is very good and highly recommended.
TimmyMac1 on this forum (Mac1) will reseal it for around $100.
Tack Driver 10 on this forum does all kinds of wild mods to these guns.
Baker Airguns, along with Pyramyd Air sell reseal kits and the special tool needed to do it yourself, but I would not call this job easy for someone who has never done it before.
