1967 Sheridan Blue Streak - Help/Parts?

Hi All,
I am new to the forums (never knew others liked this stuff as much as I do) and found my way here after my nephew jammed 10 or so pellets in the barrel of my 1967 Blue Streak Air Rifle. This is the rifle I learned to shoot with as did my brothers. My Father (RIP) bought it new back in the day.
That said, I am hoping to get some help. I tried using a rod to get them out but don't want to damage the brass barrel. I read online to try heat, but the second I saw a tiny bead of solder drip, that effort was ended. Any suggestions?
Also, since I have the entire thing torn apart, I figured that I would try and restore it. My brothers and I were a little hard on it but all in all, it is in pretty decent shape. The finish is worn off the stock, the barrel could use some love too. I am not sure what to use on either.
I am also looking for some parts, the rear sight adjustment is gone, and someone tried to use some other size set screw in it so that may need to be replaced. And if I can't get the pellets out of the barrel, I may need to replace that as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated

WELCOME!
Sorry to hear of the condition of your streak! I have a couple myself and love them!
Search you will find a number of us have them too. GREAT guns.
You can post up in the MAC1 area and Timmy of MAC1 will comment with his suggestion. I will say this, if you need a airgun smith for that Dan, Timmy will be a excellent candidate.
Good luck,
CW

I use a long wooden dowel to unjam pellets from my Sheridan (never had more than one). Best if you can find a 3/16" diameter dowel, 1/8" is commonly available at hardware stores. Cut it to a minimum length and tap carefully to avoid shattering the stick. Be patient, they should eventually start to slide out.

I've always found that twice as good costs four times as much.

Just wondering if you ever got the pellets out. Getting pellets stuck in the bore happens and I seem to remember reading that there was a gadget similar to the black powder bullet puller but naturally properly sized for pellets. Or did you send it out for professional help?
