As I shared in another thread I'm expecting a brand new Benjamin 392S tomorrow shipped right from the factory. Maybe 6 years ago I bought a new 392PA but don't recall any specific prep others suggested to me at the time. So I felt I should ask. Powder burners sometimes have a few metal machining chips in the lock work, need a barrel cleaning and/or a lock work lube. Any good ideas to check out on a multi-pump freshly made please?
Thanks as always. Don

My 397S came out of the box, got a look over, and started shooting.
I might not be the one to give good advice on new guns.

My 392s was ready to go from the get go. I did add a bit of non detergent oil to the points that needed it. I checked to bore and there in effect was no paint residue and the bore was clean as heck. After I put the little bit of oil in the chamber I dry fired it about 5 times using just three pumps to run the fluids through the valve and "O" rings and that was it for lubing.
The only other MUST DO is grind down the top of the trigger arm that blocks the bolt from being uncocked ---- now the gun can be uncocked --- IMHO a very important thing to do ... I always carry the gun around uncocked and pumped up so the tension is off the hammer spring, i rarely use the safety !
As it is right now I put a VERY small amount of oil on the hinges and no more than a drop after a tin of half a tin of pellet -- No more than one drop.
I will take her out this Sunday for some shooting.
