Title: Finding a Benji,no luck
Post by: Hoot36 on July 21, 2021, 04:42:27 PM
Besides eBay and gunbroker,is there any place that lists air rifles?
I’m looking for a Benji 392, called or visited all the gun shops,pawn shops and been hitting yard sales,no luck. Getting frustrated,lol.

Have you tried listing a “want to buy” in the classifieds here?
I take it that your looking for a wood stock version?

Richard, you are in the right place to find that Benjamin.  But it will be a little while longer before you will be able to post a classified advertisement.

Yes wood stock,preferably cartridge valve,but at this point I’ll consider anything that I can get parts for and fix up myself.

Richard, too bad you aren't in central Texas. I'd sell you one face to face.  Shipping rifles just got to be to much of a hassle safety packing them up.

Don't be in such a rush....you'll find one. For me the hunt is more fun. Keep hitting the spots and you'll  be surprised what you will find.

Good luck

Just checked my AV Dealer page. Plenty of synthetic stock 392's there so I have to assume that Pyramyd Air has them since they are AV's Retail side!

They're popping up around the internet like Midway and Amazon for a smidge over $200.  Is that a typical price for the 392's these days?  Also, would it maybe be worth it to wait until the new 362 is released?

I have never done business with them...
Lots of scammers about today, but they do list a phone number. (Phone: 832-680-0410)   That matches their advertised location "832 is a Southeastern Texas area code that covers Houston and its surrounding areas"
I would definately call and speak to a human before ordering.

You can pretty much get parts for and reaeal most Benjamin MSP air rifles.

Don't limit yourself to just a 392, I'll bet you'd probably like a 80's 342 as much if not more.
You'll need the valve tool, but that's pretty cheap and they're not hard to reseal at all.

Look at their ammo, they have too much in stock the prices are too reasonable and some of it is even on sale.

If it were something less popular like .303 or maybe 10ga I could see that, but .22lr and 12ga buckshot ?
That sounds pretty suspicious to me when theres an ammo shortage going on right now.

Beware optics and ammo would appear to be just another scam website. I wouldn’t chance it personally.

 Almost a couple years back I thought I would by a new 392, out of stock everywhere, except for a few sketchy sites, found a used one @ Baker Airguns for slightly less than a plastic stock version. I think that ship has left port also.
 Stay vigilant and one may show up in your quest.
