Others New H9 Series

[Hylander]

Well new to me.
Today I was gifted two pistols.
One being this Benjamin-Sheridan H9 Series
in .177 cal.
I know nothing about these, so any input would be appreciated.
Other than one small scuff, it looks brand new.
I only pumped it up two pumps one time and it was smooth and went bang. I'll clean and lube tomorrow and try it again.

I also know nothing about it, but that is beautiful and I look forward to hearing all about it as you check it out.

Well, I cleaned and lubed it up.
The bore was kinda brown, but not rust.
Cleaned with Hoppes #9, followed by Kroil.
Then lubed with pelletgun oil. Still some trace of brown but I'll bet it is packing grease residue as I don't think it was ever shot.
Pumped it up to 5 pumps for about 10 shots.
Works perfect
This is the first really nice air pistol I have owned.
It is built solid and all steel.

Really cool pump pistol. I use to own one. Should have kept it.

Had a very short range trip.
10yds. 10 shots at 5 and 6 pumps, less than .80"
Happy as in a Tornada in a trailer park

Nice pistol

The barrels and valves on the H9 and other older Benjamin and Sheridan rifles and pistols like the Benjamin 392/7 multi pump rifles and the Sheridan EB co2 pistols are made of brass or bronze alloys. I personally would not use Hoppes no. 9 on it as it is a copper solvent and may damage the barrel and internal components like the brass valve if used regularly. Hoppes no. 9 just shouldn’t be used for air gun cleaning in general. It will also destroy any rubber parts and seals like orings. Ballistol would be a much safer cleaner for your air guns.
