It was dry and sticky.I have several of the older Sheridans and they are a great rifle. I think it still had the original preservative grease on it. Nice shape for its age, save a few minor dingsand scuffs. Came across this very dry Sheridan 'Blue Streak'. Just had to grab a mask and go out pawn surfing. The pandemic wasn't going to keep shut in today.

I killed a crow sitting in a tree at 40 yards with one shot that crossed the whole chest and out the other side.The One piece scope mount for Sheridan C, Blue Streak / Silver Streak and Sheridan F Air Rifles. This is up from the low 600s when stock. 20 Sheridan 13 grain pellet runs 775, 800 and 820 from the three guns that I had done.I don't recall right off if that was with eight or ten pumps.

I already had a couple from 19 which I had as a kid.I don't see the 'tuned' versions adding anything but a headache to the longevity and performance. A few had walnut stocks to die for so I kept those. He wanted to be rid of them.I have refinished a few and given a few away as gifts to kids when I rebuilt them. I bought the whole lot from him for next to nothing. A few worked most would not hold air. From 1950's to early 60's.

And that rifle weights a ton, needs a Scuba tank to charge it. The only airgun as good was my Logan. 9 or 10 pumps with all of the old rifles provide better accuracy then my Pro Elite, HW, Or even the Beeman with the Gas piston I had.

It's never failed me but it would slowly leak the air out over a week if I left it pumped. The old ones simply rock as they are.There is absolutely no doubt that the Sheridan taught me 100% that I have only one shot, better be on and make it.I also shot my early 60's Sheridan more times then I can count. If you have a new one it might justify some work. Certainly not on the first shot.If you have an older Sheridan prior to 1970-75 I would not change a thing.

On a bet with my wife We tried to see who could hit the corner post first. Just one more comment on the power level of the stock rifle.My front porch is 220 yards from the road. He shoots countless pidgeons and plenty of other targets of opportunity with that 6 pump level.See when you practice with this 100's of times to make that one perfect shot, it's the biginning of a great responsible hunter.

Yesterday I shot a pigeon off the top of the powerline pole at 52 yards from my front porch. You can get parts for a stock mid 50's Sheridan easy as pie and they can be completely overhauled in about an hour or less.Within the design intended, 30-40 yards on small game and pests the stock rifle with Beeman FTS pellets will do the trick. The pellets were stuck in the wood post too!I have no quarrel with the quality, just the remanufacture and lack of easy to get parts down the road. She then hit it about 5 times in a row.

I've had logans, Air Arms, etc. I just think that within the design intent there is yet to be as well made, dependable and powerful rifle as the Sheridan. Holy smoke if I did not hit it square in the lower back and see it fall to the ground.As a kid squirrels and rabbits out to 40 yards were a routine event with head shots, Rabbits even died with body shots.
