Benjamin pellet gun repair advice/help needed

I recently went to shoot my Benjamin pellet gun and no pressure builds up when you pump it(kinda like Ole Geauxt). The gun is around 20 years old but has always worked fine until now. Anyone had this happen to them or know where I could get it looked at?

Yeah try lubricating it first... if that doesn't work you can get a repair kit.
You know what model it is?

I have a Benjamin from about 1975 that has been severely used and has been oiled with everything from gun oil to 30 weight to machine oil to oil for pneumatic tools. After many years in a hot, humid attic, I took it out and it was like yours. I put machine oil in it and let it saturate the thing and it feels as strong and accurate as ever. As long as the oil isn't too thick, it's hard to see how it'd do any damage. Even then, it'd clear out over time.

Order a parts kit for your model airgun and replace all the internals. It will probably work better than before. I have never opened up a pump to do anything but lighten the trigger, but from what I have seen it's not complicated.

You need a rebuilt kit.....
I did this with my Benjamin Pump (177 cal) about a year ago!

My Model 310 is shooting "just like new"....

There's a guy in Eunice who fixes these rifles. I sent one to him via my brother-in-law. If it's an old gun, don't contact Crosman/Benjamin. They'll only want to give you a credit for one of their crummy new guns. They say the old guns are "dangerous."

I told you to only use 1 hand on my pump handle and it would build pressure faster,, but NO, you kept using 2. Next time, follow directions!
