I have a nearly new (old) Benjamin Hand Pump HPP2KU. I got it a couple of years back. Used it 3 or 4 times. Too much for me to handle so I stuck it in a closet and here it is. It worked when I put it up. So no guarantee. But kit available Retails for $199 on PA
Free to 1st needy person Lower 48 only

Bob, just wanted to say 'good on you' for passing this along. This may get some young guy enjoying the PCP adventure.

Great offer for someone needing a final reason to try PCP.
I would ask, but have three pumps - one being a Benjamin.

This is fantastic! I just donated mine to a friend who just joined GTA as I bought a compressor this year. Thanks for keeping people in airgunning!

I have 2 compressors but always keep a hand pump on hand for "HARD" times.
I got a brand new one in my bug out kit.

Kudos to Bob
He sent the pump to my grandson who just got a Mrod for Christmas and had no way to fill it except for when he comes over here so it is a surprise for him as he does not know he is getting yet. I tested it today and it is in A1 working condition and filled my 1720T without any issues.
He will be here tomorrow for the weekend and will be thrilled to be able to fill the gun when at his home. He is only 120 pounds soaking wet so it will be a learning curve and good workout filling his Mrods cylinder the first few times. He will be coached on the proper way to use his ??? body weight and filling slowly. He is still growing and eating everything that is not nailed down so should build the muscle and weight to use it efficiently in time.
I really do appreciate Bob for his generosity. And plan to pay it forward in the future as well.
I will update tomorrow with his efforts success at filling the first few times.

Hey Bob
He was very excited and surprised to get the pump and thanks you very much for it.
Had a busy day yesterday and did not get a chance to let you know how my grandson did with his new pump. He struggled with it some at first getting the hang of using his body weight to get the final few inches of compressing accomplished. He is only able to get to 24/2500 max psi with about 20 pumps at a time and several rests in between which is good to let it cool down . So at this point so we tuned the mrod for a low pressure fill in the low 2000 range.
I do think with more practice and use he will get better with it but at least he can fill at home to shoot when he wants.
Thanks again

Just an update since Bob gifted my grandson the hand pump he has gotten much more proficient at filling the gun with it and is enjoying his new gun most every day.
