Crosman owns Benjamin and usually has owners manuals on-line for most all their airguns. Unfortunately they do not have one for the 317 but I found one for the 340 which I believe is about the same loading procedure, (See the link below. ) Also the rifle came in one of two size pellets .177 and .22 Caliber. Yours could be a .22 caliber pellet. Remember to cock it before you try to pump it and never pump it more than 10 times.

Where can you get parts for Benjamin Franklin model 310?

You don't find pellets for the Benjamin model 310 because it is designed to shoot BB's only, not pellets. The model 312 shot .22 caliber pellets and the model 317 shot .177 caliber pellets but the 310 only shot BB's.


How much is a Benjamin Franklin model 312 worth?

The 312 was part of a series (310 series) of rifles produced between 1940-1969. The name Benjamin Franklin was a marketing gimmick to help sell the rifle. Franklin had nothing to do with it. The series included the model 310, 312 and 317. Please state the current condition of the rifle to get an estimate of value. Is it still working? Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition. Re-post you question with this information and I will try to give you an estimate of value. Make sure you put the question in the "Air gun and Air rifle" category.
