Title: Prototype Benjamin pistol
Post by: 1900colt on January 27, 2020, 02:38:42 AM
No solder joints on this gun.

It is another one from Ingvar, which he purchased from the Katt family.

A very interesting concept and a way to attempt to avoid solder joints.

Interesting pistol.
I pondered whether it may be a prototype leading to the production of the Model 130 series or an attempt at improving the already established 130 series design.
Would like to see it disassembled.
Curious of caliber/rifling?

This was an attempt at improving the guns.  With no solder joints to break,  and no need to have fixtures for soldering either.

I won't disassemble this one,  break a clip or something,  there are no replacement parts.

The barrel is .177 and rifled

Very interesting.
So how exactly does the barrel attach ?
I can't exactly figure it out.

It's kinda hard to see, but the front site is dovetailed into the pump tube from the front, and locked into place by the cap on the front

The rear section,  is held on by the black clips at the front and rear of the receiver.

Such an interesting design.
Do the rear clips squeeze together toward their lower edges and lift out?

That's what I had in mind but couldn't see anything.

Honestly,  no idea.

Every time I mess with something,  it ends up broken... so,  figured I'm better off not doing anything to this one :)
