Title: Old Blue Streak " Eye Candy ! "
Post by: 19Sheridan57 on February 08, 2016, 07:56:47 AM
I picked up this " drop-dead gorgeous " Blue Streak with red/green dot sight recently. This one has the old hold down safety , turned down bolt , & is in fantastic condition ! LOOK at the woodwork on it !

My biggest problem is falling in love with Sheridans, before I decide to sell them. Just got another old one over the weekend.

I replaced the wood from "copper" with the wood I took off of "brass nut" after giving it a nice refinish. I also used the pump arm linkage. So 'copper" is now a top notch shooter and looker. Unfortunately, "brass nut" goes to the parts bin until I come across a cure for stripped out valve threads. It's not a mission, I've got plenty to shoot.

If I run across something that will help you, I will let you know.

Not at all... just never heard the moniker "Dan magnet" before. I guess it could be twisted into anything.  :-X

Very nice wood, great find. How does it shoot?

Sorry for the delay in answering that. Florida has been cold & very windy !

I took this one & 2 others out to shoot, today. Within 10 shots, I was hitting the target at 10yds & a dime would cover the holes. Shot 2 other Dans & a Crosman 1400, as well. All shot very well . My old eyes aren't what they used to be.

That is pretty chilly!  :D
I've been in northern Florida when it was warm enough for the rattlesnakes to be out one day, and below freezing the next.

Been getting a bit of that here too Steve. Guess I'm not too far away from you. Bout 2hrs. straight up from Ft. Walton Beach. I think it was 29* yesterday morning and 41* this morning. It's really nice out there right now tho. And I'm stuck here for a meeting at 4:30. I really don't like late meetings on Friday. But, then I'm off for the weekend.

   I hate cold weather & feel many times that I should have moved further South.

That's crazy. I'm in Lake Tahoe right now and it was 58 today and only dropping to 39 tonight.

It was 55 here this afternoon, but we had a pretty good snow a couple days ago.

I remember one day a few years ago, when it was warmer in Anchorage, than it was here in Florida !!!
