**RARE TO FIND IN UK**1970’s Benjamin Franklin USA Model 342 Single Shot .22 Calibre Pneumatic Pump Action Air Rifle.

Mid-Era Models such as ours made in the 1970s had smooth, or checkered "oversized" wooden pump handle.

All wood and metal are undamaged with just light handling marks. The metal work has calibre maker and model detail (all illustrated) and its bolt action and pump mechanisms work correctly.
