I’ll make a teflon replacement as I have on so many other pumpers. Three washers? Was this a mistake at the factory or just one of many variations over the years? This also marks the first time the inlet valve was not stuck at the bottom of the valve. Rather than one washer there was a stack between the valve spring and the inlet spring. I like the brass cap that slips over the end of the tube. The pump cup was ok, but I have a new replacement. The rivets are malleable and can be restored. Since I’m going to sand the stock, I need to remove the trigger guard. He had a Sheridan Blue Streak that he said was the Cadillac of the pellet. Notice the rubber to prevent marring the forearm. There are several people across the country that repair them and have parts. Sheridans of that era had a big sticker on the buttstock, must have been removed after all the wear occurred.Įven before bleaching the stain was heavy and masked the grain. Remove the pins or screws that hold the retention. The following is the description of the rebuild kit itself, to help determine if you need the tool: Repair kit fits these multi-pump guns made before 1995 (they have a soldered valve): Benjamin 397, 392, 340, 342 & 347 guns as well as Sheridan C9 (Silver Streak) & CB9 (Blue Streak). To determine if this kit is for you: Remove the screw in front of triggerguard to remove rear part of the stock. Not sure if I can work all the chips out… Repair kit fits these multi-pump guns made before 1995 (they have a soldered valve): Benjamin 397, 392, 340, 342 & 347 guns as well as Sheridan C9 (Silver Streak) & CB9 (Blue Streak). You can see the buttstock is bleached and chipped. It will hold one pump of pressure and that’s it. The stock is beat up and needs refinishing. The serial number, 243730, shows it was made in 1978. I already had a couple of these, but I'd buy them all day long at $21.43 I don't care how many I find.Figured it was time to get this Sheridan Blue Streak working. Nothing like finding a good score to perk an old geez up. And shooting.Īnd there is a lot of small game season left to some bunny hunting. I'll let todays oiling soften it up a bit and then give it another cleaning. Still have a few areas of dried oil and gunk. At three pumps it would easily put small game on the table. Put it back together put, 3 pumps and a pellet it and fired it into a 2x4. Got the bolt back so the sear would catch and popped it off. After a few strokes of air it held up nice. Then got out the Balistol and silicone chamber oil out and started cleaning the nearly 50 year old grease off and out of it. A spider had taken up residence in the trigger well. The serial number placed it at a 1974 year of manufacture. I got the price down from $25 to $20 plus $1.43 in tax. It looked bad, but I used that as bargaining leverage. 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.
