The Benjamin Trail NP Pistol

[BigErn]

Very well done Big E  Thank you for sharing innovations and being pioneer on this one glad you were willing 
If your dovetail mounts continue to slip here is a tip I got on the green:

Thanks Wyo! That's a great tip thanks for sharing

Nice work Ern!  For mounting scopes on piston guns, a one piece BKL mount will not move. RC

I will try that RC   Do you happen to have a pic of that one piece mount? The reason I ask is that the dovetail on the pistol is kinda round. I know the UTG dovetail to weaver adapter will not work on this one because that one is flat on the bottom. I have a feeling this gun might be a scope and dot sight killer

Two more pics I took yesterday with the new brake.

looks way much nice ... what about poi ... problem solved ?

Very nice Ern, it will not only BE better but looks 100% better too 

If that BSA dot keeps moving on you, get a very narrow dovetail to weaver type mount for it like this one, it has 4 screws and will stay in place. Those thumbscrews on the BSA sights are too wimpy for a spring gun mount. Your BSA mounts can be flipped over to use the weaver side and the screw shanks will lock into the weaver grooves.

Various BKL choices. Made in Texas very solid. RC

RC those are the ones I need! I see the bottom of those mounts are round. I agree with Brian that the screw nuts on the BSA sight are too wimpy for this gun. The sights have to be installed all the way back so it doesn't slide back because it will!
Now I have to order one and a new sight or a scope because I think the gun killed the BSA. One of the screw nuts is already stripped and the dot seemed to drop down alot all of a sudden so I think it's dead.

With red dots, I've found a picatinny rail will hold because of the slots, regardless of the wimpy mounts on red dots. I like the BKL one piece cantilever scope mounts.  NCStar 2 or 2.5x pistol scopes will take the punishment of piston guns.  I use 4 and never one problem, and, they're inexpensive. RC

another note: if you use a pistol scope, this mount would be my first choice - more options to establish proper eye relief - the 4" version is too long for a pistol scope, or a bug buster.

That one looks real nice RC, I like it. I have one of those scopes and they are nice. I was going to take it of my 2240 and put it on the Trail.

Two more pics I took yesterday with the new brake.

Nice break BigErn... Did you make it? I'd like to do something to mine... been sick as a dog, it hit me about 3 days ago. Highest temp been 103.8 lowest 102... Heck I forgot how to send a text message last night think I'm gonna ride the storm out, if you don't see me on in a loooooooog time I guess the storm won...

Hope you feel better Blake... The brake I got from PA, you can use it as a cocking assist    It's from a Beretta CX4/Walther Dominator. It's about $40.00, very nice. I still need to check it for accuracy when I get new sights and the BKL mount.

Yup! I ended up getting one last night, the one RC recommended. One piece 3" mount for a 1" tube
