Revive Your Benjamin 392 Air Rifle with the Benjamin Sheridan Repair Kit

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Do you own a classic Benjamin 392 air rifle? The old model used by your father or grandfather must have worn out over the period of time. But, I am sure you don’t want to give away your priced possession. You might have even oiled it to check if it worked, but in vain. Do you wonder if you can ever bring this classic rifle back to life again? Stop worrying; because you can definitely do it. You just have to get a repair kit for your cherished rifle to make it a timeless piece.

The Benjamin Sheridan Repair Kit is available in the market for your Benjamin air gun. You can disassemble your Benjamin air rifles to check if they need this kit (you may not need the whole kit to repair your rifle.) The kit fits both 392 and 397 versions of Benjamin air rifles. It, however, doesn’t fit the Sheridan Blue Streak (CB9) and the Sheridan Silver Streak (C9) Air Rifles.

The Benjamin Sheridan Repair Kit for both 0.22 and 0.177 caliber air rifles contains everything necessary for the internal mechanism of your weapon to function well. The kit also includes a special key to install the valve. It is easy to fix the parts too - you can replace the internal parts by first removing the rear part of the stock.

Once this is done, remove the pins/screws that hold the retention cap at the rear of the receiver. If you are not confident, I advise you to take an expert’s assistance - the Benjamin Sheridan Repair Kit doesn’t include instructions.

The Benjamin Sheridan Repair Kit contains important parts and tools, which will surely revive your rifle and restore it to its former glory. Moreover, you can save a lot of your money with this kit.

Glock Firing Pins – Ever So Reliable

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

If your pistol is not working up to your expectations and you think it should be disposed off, then think again. It is most likely that its firing pin is not performing up to the mark. The firing pin is a crucial part of the firing mechanism of every firearm. It strikes the primer of the cartridge, which thus detonates the priming compound to ignite the propellant. It is important to have a good firing pin for a gun to perform well. Firing pins typically have a small, rounded end, which wears out over a period of time. That’s what must have happened in the case of your pistol. So, it is time you change the firing pin of your pistol.

Gun firing pins should be light to strike the primer easily. They are made from light material so that the pin travels at a high speed thereby reducing the lock time (Lock time is the time between trigger pull and the bullet leaving the barrel.) And, it is round at the end so that the primer is indented instead of pierced. There is also an internal mechanism to block the firing pin till the trigger is pressed.

Glock is a leading manufacturer of hunting tools like pistols, handguns, field knives, and so on. It also offers a variety of gun parts like firing pins and springs as well as shooting accessories. Glock firing pins are reliable and they need low maintenance.

If your pistol might not be performing properly of late, it perhaps needs a Glock firing pin. Get one today and you will feel that you are shooting with a newly-bought pistol. But if you own a Glock pistol, keep in mind that the replacement of the firing pin should be done only by a Glock-certified armorer and not anyone else. (It is always better to consult a qualified armorer if you are having any problems with your firearm.)

Heavy Barrel Integral Rails – Your Personal Defense Weapon’s Companion

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

Do you own an Armalite? Are you dejected that you can’t use your favorite shooting machine because of the legal implications surrounding your lower receiver? If your answer to these questions is a ‘yes’, then it is high time you get a PW PDW Upper for AR-15 5.7 x 28mm 16″ Black Heavy Barrel Integral Rails. heavy-barrel-integral-rail

The integral rail is one of the built-in gun parts, which is used to mount accessories. One very popular gun that comes with a heavy barrel integral rail is the AR-15. AR-15 stands for Armalite model-15 gun, a commercially available, semi-automatic civilian shooting machine.

A heavy barrel gun with integral rail offers you greater accuracy than normal ones when fired. This is because heavy barrel guns with integral rail have lesser harmonic vibration. It is a well-known fact that lesser the harmonic vibration, the more accuracy you will have on your targets. Another benefit of using a heavy barrel gun with integral rail is that the barrel will not heat up as quickly as it does in standard barrels.

The AR-15 shooting machine has two main gun parts, namely the upper and lower receiver assemblies. These receiver assemblies of the shooting machine are attached using two through-pins. An interesting feature of this personal defense weapon is that, unlike the lower receiver, the upper receiver is considered only as a part and hence you will not face any purchasing restrictions. So you can interchange both these receivers.

The PW PDW Upper for AR-15 5.7 x 28mm 16″ Black Heavy Barrel Integral Rails is a hot-selling upper receiver that can be purchased easily. Since you face purchasing restrictions while getting a lower receiver, you can interchange the lower and the upper receiver. It’s all legal. You can now choose these gun parts from different configurations, including flat top uppers, carry handle uppers, and gas piston conversion uppers.

All You Wanted To Know About Gun Parts

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Whether you like shooting for fun or competition, it’s a thrilling sport. Since I was a kid, I have always enjoyed plinking around our old family farm. It was my father who taught me how to shoot. From familiarizing me with gun parts to acquainting me with the basic rules of gun handling, he was a thorough trainer. Let me share some of these rules with you:


1. Always assume that a gun is loaded. Don’t leave it to chance, pick it up and check.
2. Keep the gun’s muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
3. Never put your finger on the trigger until your target is in sight.
4. As a shooting enthusiast, you should realize that you are solely responsible for every shot you fire. Pay attention to your target and also what lies behind it.


I honed my shooting skills at a local dump near our farm. Refuse cans, any of the used-up appliances, and worn-out fences were my targets. Since then, I have been high on shooting sports. Taking care of my favorite shooting iron was never a problem but sometimes finding the right replacement for gun parts was quite a herculean task. It was like going on a treasure hunt without any clue. Are you facing a similar problem? No sweat!

At Sportsman’s Depot, we offer you a wide range of gun parts. Whether you are looking for a gun parts kit or a single part, we have products from many brands. Extended slide release, extractor, pound connector, bore brush, disassembly tool, firing pin, locking block are some of the Glock parts in stock. We offer great products at a steal!

Just a word of advice! You should be sure of the make and model of your gun before buying a gun part. We also carry a wide range of shooting or gun accessories for you to choose from.
