This was my first airgun, dad got it for me in the eighties. Just did an overhaul, I’m getting about 10 fpe and great accuracy (brass barrel with polygonal rifling) the zip ties are just til I can get a new screw there. Bought a nice rebuild kit on eBay, had everything except the hammer spring. That’s a quick five shot group off a window, 25-30 yds.

These are nice looking rifles. I still have the one missing stock mounting parts I bought in a box a few weeks back. I haven't decided what I am going to do with it , yet.

I have one of those somewhere. But can't find it in my house also missing a Sheridan blue streak. Need to start looking I guess. I purchased it years ago at a department store that was having a sale. The sales lady handed me the model 1 but sale was on a cheaper plastic stocked version. I ask her if she was right on it being on sale. She said yes. I made her tape a receipt to barrel of gun and carried it out of store. She kept asking don't you want a boxed gun( plastic stocked cheaper version). Nope I'm happy..had to be at least 30+ years ago.

I still have mine. When I bought it they actually thought I was trying to steal it. Mine has a tiny finish damage to the stock that bugs the *(&^ out of me. In order to repair it, I'd have to redo the whole thing plus the forearm.

I have one-
An Uncle gave it to me in a box
I got it working cutting down a 13xx exhaust valve to fit
But, that only held for a few dozen shots.
Enough to see what kind of POWER this design holds, ( a LOT!)
I picked up a flat top valve half from a GTA member and still need a flat top piston to finish it

Because mine is still apart, do you need any pictures of the parts you need ??

Found mine today along with a pre 64 blue streak and four other air rifles. Hiding in bedroom gun safe. I found seal kit for it when I was resealing my 78g pistol the other day. *(&^ to get old and miss place things. Now just have to find time to work on them.

Very nice. I have two. The older of the two was recently resealed. I had a slight issue with it not pressurizing right away, but I got that fixed today. The stock and forearm made this Model 1 a step above. Next, I plan to redo the finish on the stick and forearm. I might go with a polyurethane to make it a little tougher.
