Benjamin 392 a few issues

[RGTools]

Have used many different oils/lubes on older Sheridans and Benjamins, including but not limited to those mentioned here, and find that the Secret Sauce is 'slipperier' than all the rest.

Good to know, I will probably get some.

Got my seal kit yesterday. Swapped out the valve stem and the rearmost o-ring. I used pellgun oil since it came with the kit. Seems to be working fine. Now I just have to sight the thing back in (had to swap out the scope rings because the initial ones I got were the wrong height and rubbed on both the bolt and the front sight).

First time in my life, I couldn't get on the paper at 12yrds. I reset the scope near factory zero and did a "redneck boresight" last night. I'll let you know if it worked later.

Here is a picture of my rig before repair. Sorry for the terrible cropping job-pre coffee is not the time to teach yourself photoshop.

OH HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got the repairs done and the gun sighted in. I will do a more detailed post in the hunting gate, but this gun is slinging lead right where I want it.

Here is a pic of the redone mount and a target shot I took freehand at a random range (~18yrds) to see if I'd actually gotten the scope dialed in right for my quarry...I would say yes.
