    Vintage air pistol - wanting to restore.

    I have a Benjamin Franklin model 150 air pistol that belonged to my deceased father in law when he was a boy in the 40’s. From what I can tell the gun was made between 1938-1946. It appears to need a new seal kit and a trigger. Anyone have any suggestions on who could refurbish this cool, old BB gun?

    Dang, thats a cool old pistol. Dont have a clue as to any help on restoration, but it looks a lot like the ones we had back in the late 70's. Cool pistol, hope you can get it working again.

                Humper--I don't know if they do any refinishing work. And google "air rifle restoration" for more options.

                  Contacted Dennis Baker with Baker Air Guns and he can fix the trigger and put in new seals. Going to ship him the pistol shortly. Thanks

                    He is THE consummate pro in pump style air guns. You'll be happy with the job he does for you.
