Title: Mac-1 Sheridan mount pellet loading cut out
Post by: 45flint on April 05, 2018, 10:40:27 AM

I borrowed this photo from another post cause it made me notice that this Sheridan mount has a cut out for pellet loading.  Is this true of all of them?  The Crosman mounts don’t have this, I assume cause they can be used with so many different Crosman guns?

  Thinking about making the cutout myself on at least one of mine.  If I do, it will be on the left side, I am in the habit of loading with my left hand.

Idk.

I have one I’m going to receive with my steroided 392. I’ll let you know in 6weeks or so.

I have four of the Benjamin/Sheridan IA scope bases. All four have the relief cut into them just like the picture Steve posted/borrowed.

Interesting observation. I never realized that was the intent until now. At least that's what I assume the cut out is for.

Interesting but... how you plan to get that red paint marker off your screen?

Wonder how many use it in that configuration?  And how effective it really is?  I know I would rather have a totally open area with my fumbling?  I’m always laying the pellet backwards having to grab and correct?

Me too Dave. I've been blessed with sausage fingers. I received 2 of them this week. My biggest problem was loading my Crosman 2100/2200 carbines. The pellets always went in wrong making shooting them less than enjoyable. I was very impressed with the size and heft of these. Makes them well worth the $5. Being "squeeze to open" is nice. Once you grab the pellet they hold them until you squeeze them to drop it.
