Ordered a repair kit for the Benj/Sher Model 397P .177 air rifle. When taking it apart to replace w/kit, what appears to be a thin ring of solder fell out of the barrel, but the kit said 'non-solder'. Could this be from the soft lead washer rather than solder? If it is solder, how do you go about replacing it? BTW - one of the pieces in the repair kit from airgunwarehouse was broke and they wouldn't replace it and referred me to Crosman.
Crosman bought out benjamin / sheridan, and they still repair just all their pump guns. The ring sounds like a piece of a pellet, the barrels are silver soldered to the bottom tube, Not lead. Also, the repair kit should not have too many parts, you can only go so far with those guns before needing special equipment to get them apart. Get a hold of Crosman and tell them that benjamin sent you a bad part. They should fix it.
I had an old Benjamin Franklin in .22 cal, it was just a brass tube with a stock and barrel. I sent it to them, to be repaired, and I wanted the .22, because I had the 5mm and the 177. So I got it back, cost $29, New barrel, in .177, soldered on, new guts, new paint, trigger, bolt, the works.. Brand new gun. I told them I wanted the brass and I wanted the .22, They said oops, sorry. I didn't complain, nice old gun. Hope this helps.
