SHERIDAN AIR RIFLE
« on: June 19, 2012, 04:34:50 AM »
Two years ago I put a fancy stock on my old Sheridan air rifle, and had Mac1 put the steroid kit on it and add a peep sight. Then I gave it to grandsons. My son-in-law is a contractor in one of the building trades and borrowed it to shoot some pigeons in a location where he was building a house. He found it worked so well on pigeons a good distance away he now wants one for himself. That Sheridan has the thumb safety one must hold down while pulling the trigger, which I prefer. He would prefer to get one with the "rocker safety". Anyway, I would like to find one in good condition on the outside, even if it needs rebuilding on the inside as he would probably want the steroid kit put on it. Do they come up for sale often? And what's the best way to find a good one?

 Might be best to call Tim at Mac-1 since he's so familiar with the old Sheridans. If you catch him when he's not busy (unlikely) he'll talk to you for an hour about them. I've often seen them for sale on consignment when visiting his shop.  He did the Steroid thing on my rocker-safety gun about 15 years ago.

REPAIRED....SORRY


but then i have been talking about getting it repaired for years
i hate to think of all the pigions shot with it on construction sights
most always got complete penetration on squirrels
great guns  tho that 5mm pellet was an odd size...seems about right
was  15 or 16 when i bought it at  K-mart

Crosman  Corp . still makes  pump up air rifles  17, Mdl C9A Series -5MM( 20 CAL) , and 22 caliber.  The rocker safety 20 Cal  air rifles were called  the Blue Streak and Silver Streak which were made by Sheridan Products Inc.In Racine ,Wis.  Sheridan was purchased by Benjamin which then was purchased by Crosman Corp.  The Rocker Safety model were the best of the pump up air rifles and I have found them hard to find. I have the 20 Cal pump up rifle made by the three companies but I,m still looking for the Silver Streak 20 Cal rifle.

Mac1 is not good at answering emails, he prefers phone calls, so if you don't hear back give him a call.

I have many child hood memories with these rifles and the Crosman 140 my Cousins had. Both where powerful rifles for pumpers.

VERY much looking forward to shooting then again. Than you everyone.
