Only about 20 fill ups and my pump broke yesterday. Then I find a website/forum for Benjamin PCP`s and see about 20 people with the same issues. How can they sell suck a poorly made pile of trash (and for so much) I would advise all PCP owners to STAY AWAY from the Benjamin hand pumps . Now I had to friggen send it back and wait for a refund and shell out lots more cash to get a Axsor PCP hand pump. Im mad I tell you. I came in the house yesterday and started to fill up the Marauder and it broke once it for to 2100 psi. So now I have to treasure every shot I have and try and stretch 30 or so shots for a week while I wait for the new pump. Plus I have to pay for shipping to return the defective pump. Im flippen mad I tell you.

I was shocked to find 2 in my area, and I can't figure out where these people are diving. Where I live is considered "high desert". It costs me $6 for a fill, $5 if I buy a fill card. Actually, it probably costs me more to drive to the dive shop than it does to fill the tank. I've got 1 aluminum scuba tank and 2 smaller CF SCBA tanks. The only pump that consistently gets good reviews is the Hill pump. Maybe you could exchange and upgrade. Good luck!

Bob/rsterne broke one early on as well. Fortunately he has a buddy in the airgun business who got him a free replacement (out of warranty) and he got to keep the broken unit to futz around with. There are no service parts available for the BS units- so if you can't fix it with a MIG welder and hardware store o-rings, think about buying a different manufacturers' pump- AirForce, Hill, etc. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

I ordered the Axsor PCP Pump. It was about $40 more then the air force pump too. Axsor is a Brit company,and the Brits know their PCP`c. So I hope them know their pumps too. _________________ .22 Benjamin Marauder Join http://airgunspace.ning.com It`s Like Myspace for air gunners!   Posted: Fri Jan 08, 2010 12:14 pm Midichlorian Veteran Member Joined: 25 May 2009 Posts: 333 Location: Middle of the Desert Teryx wrote: Mich, Have you actually searched your area for dive shops?

The problem I had was the pump handle rising (which it still does a bit).... I removed the pump tube from the base and found that the O-ring on the little poppet valve right at the bottom was pooched.... I replace that and it functions at about 95%....
