Benjamin Franklin

In addition to providing a conducting path to ground in case a lightning strike occurs, lightning rods also reduce the number of large lightning strikes by reducing the static charge build-up in the atmosphere around the building. The pointed end of the rod creates an attraction point for the excess charge and siphons it to ground, reducing the charge difference between the cloud and the building.

If you get a chance to deal with a small Tesla coil or small static generator, set up a situation in which sparking is occurring between a broad object (like a sphere) and the coil/generator . Then introduce a grounded thin rod (or some other grounded pointy object). the sparking will stop and there may be some micro-lightning (and soft crackling sound) around the point.

Basically, the pointy grounded rod creates smaller, lower energy lightning to prevent the huge damaging strikes.

Yes, he did. Remember, that time is money. He that can earn ten shillings a day by his labor, and goes abroad, or sits idle, one half of that day, though he spends but six pence during his diversion or idleness, ought not to reckon that the only expense; he has really spent, or rather thrown away, five shillings besides. - Benjamin Franklin (1748)

Benjamin ( who is owned by Crosman air gun) recommends 10 pumps. Over pumping may damage the rifle. You can still get the owners manual for this rifle for free. Go to the Crosman link below and click on "Download a manual" at the bottom of the web page, then click on Benjamin and locate your rifle.

Crosman owns Benjamin and usually has owners manuals on-line for most all their airguns. Unfortunately they do not have one for the 317 but I found one for the 340 which I believe is about the same loading procedure, (See the link below. ) Also the rifle came in one of two size pellets .177 and .22 Caliber. Yours could be a .22 caliber pellet. Remember to cock it before you try to pump it and never pump it more than 10 times.

Crosman air gun Owns both Benjamin and Sheridan brand air guns and rifles. On the Crosman web page they offer owners manuals and parts manuals for MOST of their products. I searched and the 3100 is NOT listed. However I found a reference (In a Bluebook of airguns) that the Benjamin 1300 pump pistol is very similar in design. (See the link Below for the Owners and parts manual for the Benjamin 1300 pistol.) This may help you.

Your other option is to go to the Crosman web page. They offer a service to locate repair shops that repair Crosman products ( See link below)

The Ballistic Enterprises #1 INTEGRABASE, is absolutely the best scope mounting base ever manufactured for the Benjamin and Sheridan air rifles and pistols. It is constructed from aircraft grade aluminum and is CNC Machined on the latest equipment. This scope mounting base mounts the scope with proper eye relief and closer to the bore axis for more comfort and better scope tracking. Available through several major airgun distributors throughout the United States.

Benjamin Franklin did not invent the light bulb.

He believes that readers will remember the advice in a clever statement.

Yes he basically wrote many theories on electricity. So he was a physicist

Benjamin Franklin

A home has love and is where you belong. A house is just a residence with four walls and a roof. Franklin is saying that a home can't just care for the body, but must also stimulate and encourage the mind (thought).

If you are looking for the serial number and can't find one, then there most likely is not one. For a time Benjamin did not put serial numbers on their pistols. I also own a Benjamin that has no serial number and had to do some research to find this fact out.

Reference: "Blue book of airguns"

The model 117 is part of the 110 series of Benjamin airguns. It included models 110, 112 and 117 they were made between 1938-1941. In order to get an estimate of value you need to state the condition of the gun. From Excellent to Poor and is it still working. If you would like a copy of the owners manual see the link below. Today Crosman owns Benjamin airguns.

Valuing reason over desire

I would use Crosman Pellgun oil. Or RWS air gun oil.

Benjamin Franklin joined the patriots. He son was a loyalist who was Governor of New Jersey.

Ben Franklin returned to Boston because it was the birthplace of the Emancipation Proclamation. This was because of many sentimental reasons.
