No! It was Christopher Columbus.
You don't find pellets for the Benjamin model 310 because it is designed to shoot BB's only, not pellets. The model 312 shot .22 caliber pellets and the model 317 shot .177 caliber pellets but the 310 only shot BB's.
As far as I can find, Benjamin made a pump handgun model 112 from 1938 to 1941. I could not find anything on a rifle with that model number.
Crosman co owns Benjamin and Sheridan. They supply parts for current and some older model Benjamin air rifles or they offer a service to locate someone who repairs older Benjamin rifles. See the link below. When it opens click on "Find a service center."

He didn't.
Benjamin Franklin was the Father of Electricity. He did not invent it, but he did discover it. He simply did the kite and key experiment to find that lightning is just electricity.
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)
