I suggest "Craigs list" or through the "Sale" page of your local newspaper.
I've researched several airgun catalogues and can not find a Benjamin model 217. However the 17 at the end of model 217 indicated that it's a .177 caliber air gun. The name Franklin added to Benjamin was a marketing ploy to sell the air gun. Benjamin Franklin had nothing to do with it. Walter Benjamin invented the Benjamin line of airguns back in the late 1800's. Please recheck the model number and give me some sort of rating like Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent on the current condition of the air gun so I can give it a value (If we ever identify it)
Sheridan started in 1945. Later it was purchased by Benjamin air gun company and Later Benjamin was purchased by Crosman air gun company. It is still in production.

Manufacture don't usually sell to the general public. However there are several air gun repair shops that deal with gun barrel manufactures.

You can't. You will have to sell your old air gun, then use the money towards a new PCP air rifle.

Sheridan ------------------- Correct answer ----------------- In 1977 Benjamin purchased Sheridan air gun Co. In 1995 Crosman purchased Benjamin Air gun Co.
