(1/4) > >>

recurve shooter:
i know this is really off of the archery topic but idk who els to ask about this stuff. so nomadic pirate's threads about airgun hunting got me wanting my old benjamin working again, so i found it and took a look at it. the o rings had gone out in it. Its a benjamin pump, .177 cal. i've had this thing for 12 or 13 years, and killed a pile of squirrels and birds with it, but twice in that time i have had to take it appart and get an o ring kit from the manufacturer and replace them all, cuz they lose the air tight seal. any idea what i should do to keep this from happening? great gun, just blows o rings alot.  ???

crooketarrow:
   VASALINE helps to keep in solf but you can't wait to it gets hard to do it.I have 2 177's a 22 and a 25 cal.I'm getting a 45  to deer hunt with next fall.Just shot a 50 cal pneumatic he filled it with a subs tank but it also has a pump made by Quackinbush nice the guy told me it's good out to 150.I shot at 30 touched holes.At 50 inch at 75 1 1/2.This was as far as his range was.
    I saw 500 yard groups his friend shot.

NOMADIC PIRATE:
Silicon grease sold in dive shop is fantastic on O-rings, or you can get some Chamber oil from RWS, this oil periodicallyused on guns is a life saver

aero86:
i need to get a good air gun.  i think .22 would be great!

NOMADIC PIRATE:
there's a new .22 came out, that is great and cheap, I'm gonna get her real soon
