Even a few early 392/397’s had a soldered valve, and are similar in dis-assembly.
The same basic process also applies to the 310 and 317, and the later 340/342/347 series (although the safety is different). Then reassemble the rest like it came apart. But this video deals with the tear-down of a repairable Benjamin 312. The M16 was adopted in 1964 by the US Air Force in Vietnam (and a number were also. This too will take a little pressure (I also used air tool oil). The M16 (designated Colt Model 602 by Colt internally) is the first.
I put the tool in a vise and rotated the tube around while keeping everything in alignment. If you mess up the threads, both are brass and fine thread, you are going to be SOL. The kit comes with all of the seals you need to replace and a new check valve spring but I did reuse the original lead washer instead of the PTFE split washer they provided.īe VERY careful reassembling the valve body retainer. This took some "tapping" to get this out of mine. Opposite the square end of the tool, it is threaded to remove the valve guide. They send a tool that is square on one end that allows you to remove the retainer for the valve body. The spring and hammer are under a little pressure but not too much, in any case remove these parts. Next remove the trigger/safety (don't loose the detent ball for the safety) and rear retaining cap. Then remove the two roll pins that hold the muzzle cap inplace and bring the piston/rod back far enough to line up the pump handle pin with the lower muzzle cap hole and remove that pin. Start by removing the stock screw and stock. After ordering an RWS 34 to play with I came across a rebuild kit from Pyramyd air that cost about $28 including the special tool to take them apart (I was quoted $100 to rebuild it years ago). 22 cal air rifle when I was 11 but it has been dead for years due to worn out parts. 3 rifles, all all say 347, Benjamin Franklin 347, shoots 177pellets, mint condition, a an RWS Diana single shot, 22cal, 20cal.
Where can I get an owners manual and reseal parts for this pistol so I could shoot it. The first gun given to me was a Benjamin. 22 cal Air Pistol I bought new in the early 70s.
