6 pumps will get you the same power as a factory gun 8. My conversions make for a gun that lasts a long time and has higher performance per pump than the factory item. Tomorrow one last rub down with 000 wool and then first coats of tongue oil. I think its a pretty good match, at least I should be closer then it was. Then rubbed it hot with clean cloth to remove excess. I hit the pump/fore stock with DK Walnut stain. Here is the butt after a wipe down with water to ''whisker'' the wood. BUT they are what I like to call ''character'' marks. Unfortuneately both will show as they didn't take the finish as well or the same as surronding wood did. I had a little filling to do as I did on the butt. Suttle changes, but should show some of the nuances of the grain better as well as feel better in the hand. Mostly defining them better and then I slimmed the grip for my larger hands. These stocks are HARD and actually saw more material removed with the finer grits. Then I went to 100, then 150 finally twice with 220g. I started with 80grit to take off the remaining finish and sand out a couple imperfections. The deeper I get I may have to get a older Benji too. 22 and they share some parts and an over all look of the Sheridan confusing many folks. Minor changes thru the years, but not to caliber. First when Benjamin bought the company and second when Crosman bought Benjamin. Wood finish is trashed but the wood under shows nice figure and very few dents or gouges to repair.Īgain huge thanks to Streak as with out him this would not be possible!Īll Sheridan Blue streaks are in 20 cal/5MM calibre. I haven't decided but I need to do something because the stock has surface damage like it sat in a barn or damp place for a season or three. I am going to install a butt plate or rifle pad. (Hope I don't loose them.) I'll box the metal parts up and ship them tomorrow. Setting the small parts aside I would not need for a while. Last night I stripped the gun and cleaned all metal parts. This will be a complete rebuild using Tim out in California for own of his 'Steroid rebuild', and I'll refinish the walnut stocks myself. They are great handling and shooting rifles. I bought one here off Johnny Reb, Jeff and that's a great gun! I also own a RWS 34 and a very old Crosman 760.Īny how, I wanted a Sheridan again. So we have again begun shooting air guns. Reciently, with ammo scarcitys and increased costs, I am again interested in air power. Many years later, I lent it to a 'friend' who has since moved away and completely dripped off the grid! Repeated eMails to last address go unanswered. A very kind member here Streak, (Sam) sent me his!! I had one as a child, growing up. I received a replacement in the mail a couple day ago.
