Rescuing a classic. Benjamin 312: a metaphor of how the USA declined in 50 years

I restore a Benjamin Franklin 312, a made in a small factory, USA classic, made in St Louis, Mo from the 1940s through the 1950’s. All metal parts and solid walnut, even used Benjamin HC Pellets from the 1950s or 1960’s. They are better made. No corners cut, and pride in work. Compare that with the big box air guns, made in China, mostly plastic parts, and you’ll see why I say this video is a metaphor.
