Title: Need help with oiling Benjamin 310
Post by: braden on March 10, 2025, 10:28:18 AM
Thanks for letting me in the group.  My name is Braden and I’m from Mississippi.

I’ve got an old Benjamin 310 that I have had for 40 years. A friend of mine brought his son over to go over basic gun safety with yesterday.  I had some daisy red riders that we were starting with, and then I pulled out the Benjamin. It had compression and would shoot, but felt a little weird when I pumped it- maybe squishy? From what I have read on here, I was thinking I would start by oiling it with some 30w oil.  But where do I oil it?

Welcome! You're most likely to get answers to your question on the American/US Airgun section's subforum for Benjamin and Crosman guns, or on the Vintage Air Guns section.

If the pump cup is leather I believe it responds well to silicone oil, if not 30W non-detergent is mentioned a lot.

Hope you stay a spell Branden
