Title: Benjamin 132 Pump arm problem
Post by: Ckistner on October 23, 2012, 12:26:55 AM
I have a Benjamin 132 where the pump arm falls away from the barrel.  If you put a few pumps in it, it will stay put but the slightest bump will make it drop.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct this problem.

Thanks,
Ck

Can you provide a pic? It might be helpful. I guess I'm not really getting a good mental picture. :)

Here are 2 pics.  The first, my finger is holding the pump arm in the closed position.  When I remove my finger, you get the second picture.

Ck there is a flat spring inside the pump arm part #1323 that bears against the bottom of the pivot of part #1303. this pressure holds the arm closed.
Do you have a schematic of these pistols?

Snovalley,

I see what you are referring to.  Thanks.  I will check it out.

Bingo.  SnoValley is the man.  The flat spring is completely missing.  Now I have to find one.

Thanks for the direction,

I received a replacement flat spring today.  I have removed the pump arm but am unclear how to install the spring without bending it.  Any suggestions?
