    Baker Air guns free plug.

    Just picked up my very vintage Benjamin .22 air rifle that they resealed and resoldered the barrel. Before I left the shop, they had to pump it up and shoot it one last time one last time to verify their work.

    Nice guys in the middle of Ohio doing good work.

    A place to consider if you want to get an old (or newer one) back in action.


    Just my 2 pennies


    Haven't made it home to try it my self, got waylaid at a gun shop, an antique construction equipment show and a couple of bier garten's.

    This old geezer stuff is tough.

    The wind whistling thru your helmet while on the lake at 60MPH is starting to affect you!

    Getting to be that time of year, gotta get the boats out and get them tuned up.

    And the 60 year old rifle chronoed at 631. It whacks!

    I got my 1967 issue Benjamin .22 pump back from them a few months ago.
    I got the kit to reseal it myself, but stripped a valve and lost a part while taking it apart.
    There's a spring loaded ball bearing in there about the size of a grain of sand--- I think it's now in lunar orbit.
    So I just sent it to them before I destroyed it.

    They sent along the chrono speeds for 3 to 8 pumps.
    It might be my imagination, but I think it's better now than when it was new.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
