I'm surprised someone didn't recommend the 6.5 CM because everyone knows you can't shoot varmints with an air pistol. I have two Benjamin rifles (.177 and .22), a Daisy rifle (.177) and a Crosman 1322 as well as the 1377. The Crosmans will give you enough energy to whack tree rats within a reasonable distance. I put a rifle stock on my 1322 and it does make for a fun little gun.

There are tons of YouTube videos on these pistols. They really are fun guns.

yep bought a rebuilding kit for my 1959 Benjamin

does not take much to dispatch a rat. i killed a couple wood rats with my sons Daisy BB gun.

It can be pumped, just doesn’t build pressure. It’s old, think it was built in the 60’s. It belonged to my grandfather, he passed in ‘71.

you can get a new seal kit or you can send it to be rebuilt.

Serial # dates to 1965 manufactured date

It’s actually a .22 cal.

yep paired mine with a cheap laser sight worked great for grackle thinning.

Glad to see this thread. I have an old Crosman 1400 that doesn’t hold pressure. A guy in Fort Worth has a website and says he does repairs. I gave up on trying to contact him.

Any ideas on who else to contact?

interesting. Ive got an ancient benjamin and sheridan which won't hold pressure. Any thoughts on where to send them in for repair?

I have used them in the past.

First do a YouTube search for the model that you have, most likely a full description is available to repair it yourself.

my 1322 pistol can shoot 3" groups at 20 yards on sand bags. Only thing added is a steel breach. Open sights
the 1377 gets 1/2" groups , steel breach, 16" barrel, and shoulder stock. scope

If you have a problem with brown recluse spiders in your home, get a CO2 pistol. Wait until dark, then crawl around on the floor with a headlamp. Once you spot a spider, hold the unloaded pistol a few inches away and disintegrate that dude with compressed air. This is great fun, and will also hone your stalking skills.

I trap them in ground squirrel traps, then send them off to a better life.
I have 2. I made one and a friend gave me a manufactured one.
They both work good. They are the 4 or 5 inch high, big square with 2 doors.
They lift the little door to get in, then can't get out.

That way you can't miss with any cheapo daisy air gun.

I just bought this...also posted it in the firearms section.

I know it's a rifle, but I need to be a little more steady in my shooting.

yes... go on line and look.I got everything i needed to rebuild a Benjamin pump rifle built in the late 50s early 60s.

-1 squirrel this morning. She is (rifle) "vewy vewy quiet". Whadahahahaha.

My 1965 Sheridan Silver Streak in 5mm does a good job on Starlings, tree rats, armadillos and coons.
AO scope that focuses down to 3 yards is a plus for yard work.


Built lots of these in .22 for folks specifically for inner city tree rat control.
Short, sweet and easy to stick out a window or door.
