I propose Crosman take the new synthetic stock Benjamin 392s/397s make a new .20 cal Benjamin 395s model.
It would not be a Blue / Silver Streak - but a GOLD Streak.
I ask everyone to commit to buy at least 2 or more of these. Please email Crosman.
Model 395 - for 5mm - halfway between the 392 and 397 models.

Agreed. Even if it was a special limited run. How many do they need to do a special run anyway?

I like your idea, but make it with a wood stock, preferably Missouri walnut. And the old style, non-lawyer trigger.
Oh, and may as well wish for world peace, too.

I posted a thread that became 12 pages long, asking other air gunners if they would like to see another .20 on the market .
I sent the link to the thread to every air rifle manufacturer I could come up with . Crosman never even replied !!

Yeah the .20 cal part I'm all for, but the synthetic stock not so much.
The 1000x came out with a plastic receiver and ugly stocks, next thing you know the 2100 now has ugly stocks and the am77 is put back into production using a plastic receiver.
Whether or not they admit it I say the synthetic stock doesn't bode well and could likely replace wood across the board, it's cheaper and I just know it'll eventually end up happening as they continue to cut costs.
The current wood stocks are ugly enough but look like a million bucks compared to this ugly as sin plastic stock.
So yes Crosman needs to bring the .20 back, and start again using the Sheridan name on something worthy of it's name.
Heck is even be happy with a 1320 and 2240.
Not a Chinese BB gun and not a gun in .22 no matter the gun, .22 is not a Sheridan.
