A soft spot for older airguns

New member here. I recently inherited a 1967 Sheridan Blue Streek, a 1987 Diana model 36, a 1971 S&W 79G, and a 1968 Daisy VL. The Sheridan got a new set of seals after hitting my doorstep, the 79G has a new set of seals waiting to be put in, and the model 36 has been shooting fairly well - although inconsistent (maybe it's me... maybe). I gotta say I'm having a blast with them. Older pumpers and springers are a riot and a challenge all at the same time.
I stopped by the Baldwinsville, NY show last weekend. There was a nice group of folks there and some great vendors. Shooting seemed to be limited to testing only, but it was good to see a few guns in action.
