Answer 1

>>Benjamin Franklin Model 340<<

That's a very common and understandable misconception.

What you have is a Benjamin model 340(made from 1969-1986) It is a smooth bore designed to shoot steel BBs.

There is not now, nor has there ever been a "Benjamin Franklin" air rifle company - The BF in quotes is a play on the company name, NOT the actual name of the company.

The "Benjamin Franklin" stamped on the left side of the receiver, in quotes, was a joke.

You will find Benjamin Air Rifle Company stamped on the end cap

If your Benjamin 340 is working, it's worth $75-$100
