Benjamin Trail NP 1500 Scope Mount

[Trhodes]

I was looking at the local outdoor store's  "Good Deal Cavern" and found a Benjamin Trail NP 1500. The reason it was there was the picatinny rail that mounts to the rifle had broken off cleanly. Their normal price for the gun is $255; this one was there for $170.

Just thinking of how to fix that...it appears the rail was on there with CA adhesive. I'm thinking I would use JB Weld to re-mount that rail. I could match it exactly to the previous spot where it had fractured.

Any thoughts about a fix for that? Anybody had similar repair?

Seems like it should have been refurbed. You might be able to buy it and get crosman to fix it.

If you feel it's a good deal, buy it.  Then contact Crosman about a warranty repair.  Their usual practice is to just send a new gun rather than repairing it and returning it.

I doubt that JB Weld would stand up to the recoil.  Warranty from Crosman sounds like a better idea.

If Crosman won't warranty it, you can order a new compression tube from them, probably for less than $25, including shipping.

Thos rails are welded on....for a good reason

Thanks for all the input - good advice on the warranty option. That's probably what I'll do.
