OK guys tell all i need to know about this thing. all I know is the guy that sent to me said it was his Dads and his kids didn't want and he got tired of it being in his way ,He donated it to me. the O ring on the bolt he said he got at the hardware store ,not sure how good a fit or how long it would last. I was lost ? I got a gun in the mail I didn't order ?? What hteck? Oh yeah it has the Seridan scope base on it ,and I can't find any ser# or date etc. any where.~~BS50

DETAILS! We need details! LOL
Thumb safety? Rocker Safety? Tang Safety? Cross bolt safety in the trigger guard?
As you hold the gun to shoot, look on the left side of the breach. Are there any numbers there?
If there really are no numbers anywhere on the rifle it would be 1964 or older.
Here's a picture of my 1965 model with the rocker safety. I think prior to '64 they had a thumb button safety. Does your Sheridan look anything like this?

No #s any where I can find / rocker safety model , the guy that sent it to me in in his 60s and it was his Dads so it's probably an older model ,he replaced the O ring on the bolt with one from a hardware store ,doubt that will las very long. Any tricks i need to know I'm mostly a Wiehrauch / old Beeman guy ,never messed with a Sheridan ~~BS50

I have one that was purchased in 61/62 that was given to
me as a "pop" gun. Someone died and family was cleaning out
the house. It's a great shooter that survived my childhood.
The story these old guns could tell .......
Congrats on the sweet score!!

hey-Hey!!!,
The rifle could be as old as mid-50's with an o-ring'd bolt.
On pellets, JSB shoot best from all of mine, followed by H&N FTT. Neither seem to like Kodiak/Barracuda for some reason. One tolerates H&N Match if I put them downrange with at least 7 pumps (735+ fps, which is weird for a match flat nose IMO ).
Safety style will get you close to a date.
cheers,
Douglas
