This is a Custom built Benjamin 392 that has had the “Steroid” upgrade. I picked this up already built. The Steroid upgrade includes adjustable pump rod, enhanced air chamber, trigger tune, scope grooves and knurled cocking knob for scope use. Probably, even more than I am aware of. Also, an ambi Custom Steve Corcoran stock. And I am a lefty. When I got it, it had a Williams Peep sight but I added the scope. The scope is a Simmons 4 power Shotgun scope. The scope is light in weight with an extended eye relief. I made a tool that allows the scope to manually adjusted for parallax adjustments on the objective lens. Some scopes allow the objective lens to move. It can be pumped to 15 pumps and totally exhaust. At 10 pumps it shoots 14.3 grain CPHP’s at 800 fps. Also, pumping is easier. I bought this on AOA’s used Airgun site. AOA priced it under a new 392 “synthetic stock” price. Someone put over 1k in this gun. I figured it must have been worth it. And it is. It’s very accurate.
You did real good!
You could probably find a lot of history on the "Steroid Mod" if you searched.
Steve Corcoran has been a real asset to this community for many years. I checked a few years back and he was still making stocks, I don't know about now. If he is I should get one.

Steve is still making stocks. We talked about a year ago at length. He built me a LH stock for my HW30. First one he ever made in LH. He said he’s going out of the ordering process though. To much waisted time. He said, he can build and sell everything he makes as fast as he can so why spend hours a week on the phone with special orders. It just adds to the cost for everyone else. Very nice man. Just watch his website for “stocks for sale” and when you find what yo want, jump.
Very nice 392. I'd love to have one like that.
