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

Our example is in very good condition, it is equipped with a fixed front blade sight and a basic adjustable rear sight. It has the correct parkerised type finish, solid brass barrel, air chamber, and receiver, meaning these rifles do not rust like steel-barrelled alternatives. Early Models (1955–1960s) were distinguished by a sleek "corn cob" ribbed forend, built using the original St. Louis factory valve system and manufactured at the original Benjamin Air Rifle factory in St. Louis, Missouri. Mid-Era Models such as ours made in the 1970s had smooth, or checkered "oversized" wooden pump handle. In the 1980’s after Benjamin purchased its longtime rival, Sheridan, late Models were redesigned internally to feature the highly efficient Sheridan valve assembly. Sights were elevated in 1985 to accommodate optional peep sights & operations moved to the Sheridan plant in Racine, Wisconsin. Our 1970’s piece has the correct chequered panel wood fore stock. 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. The rifle is serial number T423632. The price for this rare to find in the UK American air rifle includes UK delivery.

While production began in Japan in 1977, they majorly flooded the UK and European markets throughout the 1980s, which became the rifle’s "golden era" for pest control and hunting. The Sharp Innova is a classic, lightweight, and highly accurate Japanese-designed multi-stroke pneumatic recoilless air rifle that gained a massive following during the late 20th century. The forearm acts as a pump lever to pressurise an onboard air reservoir before each shot. This example is in very good condition. The frame & barrel have maker, calibre and model detail (illustrated) and serial number ‘A364299’. The power of the air rifle is increased by the number of pumps and a pellet loaded into the chamber which is exposed by pressing a catch on the action which releases the bolt for loading. The bolt is then pushed back into place chambering the pellet ready for firing. It has a 20” barrel and is 35” overall length. The rifle works as it should & has all of its original blue finish & its wood work is in excellent undamaged condition with ribbed shoulder stock butt. The rifle has a blade fore sight and telescopic sight rail. The price includes UK delivery.
