If you are asking about the Benjamin Air gun model 342? It was made between 1969-1992
I would search the web for "Air gun repair" or see the link below.
In 1977 The Benjamin Rifle company purchased Sheridan air gun company. In 1992 Crosman purchased Benjamin. So now Crosman owns both Benjamin and Sheridan.
Sheridan ------------------- Correct answer ----------------- In 1977 Benjamin purchased Sheridan air gun Co. In 1995 Crosman purchased Benjamin Air gun Co. Today Crosman owns both the Sheridan and Benjamin name and line of products. Crosman decided to keep the Sheridan name on the 5 mm air rifles and the Benjamin name on the .177 and 5.5 mm air rifles. Crosman produces the pellets for all three products.
I've researched several airgun catalogues and can not find a Benjamin model 217. However the 17 at the end of model 217 indicated that it's a .177 caliber air gun. The name Franklin added to Benjamin was a marketing ploy to sell the air gun. Benjamin Franklin had nothing to do with it. Walter Benjamin invented the Benjamin line of airguns back in the late 1800's. Please recheck the model number and give me some sort of rating like Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent on the current condition of the air gun so I can give it a value (If we ever identify it)
