The original Benjamin scope mounts were heavily constructed of brass. There were two models, one for .22, the other for .177 guns. There is a set for sale on ebay right now mistakenly described as "blued steel". The new B272 mounts are aluminum and modeled after the old Sheridan mounts. Same profile in cross section, two short mounts instead of one long one.

Terry, That photo took me back in time about 45 years from when I bought my first 342 new.
The critters and targets along the border are what jarred the old memory.

Thanks for that.

Yes thanks Terry, you're a wealth of information

, yes I've been fishing for a set of the vintage two piece intermounts and came across that vintage b272 set at Ebay, I thought this design was a recent Crosman addition, never knew Sheridan/Racine produced this model back in the day, and was wondering if they were any better. looks like I'll pick a set of the lighter cheaper aluminum ones instead.

I like this mount, turned backwards from the way Habanero has, so I get correct eye relief using a regular scope. May need taller rings, but it is easy to get used to.

Thanks for the info Steve, I thought this model was made by Mac1

, didn't know they were also produced by Sheridan first, there was a more recent sale of a set, but I missed the sale.

This is the one I have had since it was new. The scope a version of the Sheridan Intermount , sits a little high due to the rifle having sthe straight bolt, but I am used to it. Sheridans with curved bolts will not need such tall mounts. It is easy to load , too.
Make no mistake about it, this rifle is deadly accurate !

Yes the mount on my pumpers are the Mac-1, IA mount. Rock solid, versatile & doesn't promote barrel separation. It also has a relief cut into one side of the "spring board" part of the mount, making it easier to load pellets when used in the traditional style over the breech.

The Sheridan Intermount comes up for sale all the time on eBay. I have been tempted to buy one just to use as a comp to the Mac1. If its originality you guys are after than absolutely the SI, but if its quality the Mac1 is hard to beat. I would much rather torque a mount with an allen wrench than a screw driver. I have them on all my scoped pumpers & plan to get a few more.

The intermounts can bring a premium, too. I have seen those sell for up to $75, but about $40 is the average price,,, with a box = $50. You can replace the screws with allen head.

Does the base of the Sheridan Intermount make contact with the tube? & do the screws make contact with the barrel?

Habanero69er · « **Reply #48 on:** March 25, 2018, 10:19:23 AM »

This was the mount I took off my Blue Streak. I changed out the slotted screws for Allen heads before I swapped it out for the IA mount. I'll not being putting it back on any of my rifles.

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #49 on:** March 25, 2018, 10:27:42 AM »

It appears that one would definately apply some pressure to the tube. However, the fasteners go directly into the mount & not the barrel like the Mac1. I'm not so sure the same can be said about the SI.

I bought three of them from an ebay seller a couple of years ago. All three with the original boxes for 100 bucks. Two were missing the screws but they were easy enough to replace. I thought I might use one and resell the other two but of course, I ended up using all three.

I believe Steve’s is the Sheridan Intermount. If you look close it cantilevers much the same way the Mac1 does. In fact I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this is what inspired the Mac1. The change is Timmy’s uses the fasteners to lock down on the clam shell mount itself not on the barrel.

Dave's is completely different.

I had to read that last exchange several times, to finally nail down the differences between mounts..

so let me see if I get these mounts issues straight now...

The original Sheridan/Racine long 2 piece intermount clamps on the barrel and the fasteners to the body of the mount itself, not the air gun's barrel, as far as I can tell shouldn't be any danger of separation with this one since the bottom of the intermaount is not putting pressure against the airtube...

Quote from: Habanero69er on March 25, 2018, 10:19:23 AM

The original Sheridan/Racine [over the receiver type and later improved by MAC1] has three slotted screws that screw directly on the barrel/airtube.

then the Mac1 improved model has two allen fasteners [Instead of three slotted screws], that clamp-on the barrel and screws directly to the body of the mount itself without touching the air tube, this model also has a 'relief slot' on the side for easy pellet loading.

Quote from: Habanero69er on March 25, 2018, 08:59:50 AM

Then the original/vintage Sheridan/Racine 4 piece B272 mounts made of brass [Scarce & pricey] and the current available re-incarnation made of aluminum [Cheaper & Lighter], fastener on these attach directly into the body of the opposite mount-piece avoiding any separation issues.

Wow Octavio now I'm confused.

Maybe these 2 pix will explain it better...

19Sheridan57 · « **Reply #55 on:** March 26, 2018, 06:24:51 AM »

My pictures about show the one style of Sheridan intermount,[ we can call it " Longer version ] & it screws to the barrel. The other type [ we can it short version ] is like Habanero posted. Both were named Sheridan Intermounts. I cannot remember the dates of when each were sold.

Habanero69er · « **Reply #56 on:** March 26, 2018, 09:14:39 AM »

The whole idea of the IA mount is to have a mount that does not wedge itself between the barrel & the air tube, thus causing barrel/air tube separation. As one can see, the IA mount clamps only around the barrel. With no air tube contact.

Yes, I thought the long original Sheridan model didn't touch the airtube at all either, but apparently it does, as far as causing 'separation'?, I don't know.

well you did a great job of consolidating the confusion with one picture,

, and I have good news for you, the Mac1 IA Mounts are back in stock!

Habanero69er · « **Reply #58 on:** March 26, 2018, 02:50:58 PM »

Glad to hear Tim got the IA mounts back on his site. They were off the site a while, but I called him to ask what was the situation. He told me about Ingvar's passing. But he sold me one out of his laid back stock. I love those IA mounts!
