Blue Streak Has gone crazy!!!!
« on: December 14, 2004, 08:44:32 AM »
My Old Blue streak doesn't release all of it's
"Wind" anymore. I noticed that it was not as loud
as it used to be. So I did something crazy just for
the heck of it. I pulled back the bolt, inserted another
pellet and shot it again without pumping, and again
and again and again. etc.... I shot it seven times
without  pumping it again. Of course the power was less
each time. It now does this every time. WHAT GIVES!!!!
I want it to "Break Wind" with all its might again!!!!

Could be a couple things. The hammer spring may be broken or is just not working anymore, and maybe the exhaust stem seal has come loose and is not allowing the valve to open fully. Either way, its time for a rebuild. Send it to Precision Pellet-  http://www.airgunshop.net/index.html for professional help. Rick is about the best around, and pretty cheap too.

S.Sumner,

I too had Mac1 do one of his steriod jobs on my Sheridan Blue Streak.  Go to http://www.mac1airgun.com/steriodags.html to see his site and what he can do for you.  Your problem has me stumped.  Lawdog
