Scroll down on the list until you find the 310 section. It may help if you have the serial number.
Let me guess your Rifle is either a model 310, 312 or 317. It was made in 1965
This model 310 was made in 1957
Where do I buy Benjamin Air rifle repair parts? Model 310 and 310
It would be worth around $105. This model was made from 1940 to 1969. If you have the original box it is worth 25% more.
Most likely around late 1956 according to Crosman who owns Benjamin.
It's a BB/175 smoothe boar made from 1940 to 1969.
The Benjamin model 312 was part of the 310 series of rifles that included 310, 312, and 317. They came in .177 and .22 caliber. Production started with the model 310 in 1940 and ended with the model 317 in 1969, the 312 fell somewhere in the middle of that time period
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.
I find two interesting points about this question. The Benjamin model 312 is part of the Benjamin 310 series of rifles 310, 312, 317 made between 1940 and 1969. If there is credit given why is it only on the .22 caliber version, and the second question is. Crosman didn't own Benjamin until 1992 so why would they give credit on such an old air rifle that they were not responsible for making. On Crosmans web site there is NO mention of any type of credit for this model.
$350,659
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.
