Title: Early vs late Sheridan Super Grades
Post by: 1900colt on December 19, 2021, 06:33:19 PM
Made a quick video comparison between early and a late model Super Grades.

There's a number of things that are not shown, but the basic things are.

Very good video.  Like the slimmer contours of the early stock.  But not fair you have 2! Lol

I need to do another with the other super grades in the collection. It's interesting seeing the changes through their production run side by side.  Nearly all of the changes appear to be have done for cost savings with the exception of plating the long bolt handle.

Also the model B's will be done later this week.

Then have to show the Crosman T&C side by side...

The T&C would be interesting to me. I have the early model.  It’s interesting how as a collector you can become fixated on one model and want to collect multiple examples.  I think I’m having that affair with the CZ VZ35.

Very nice video Mark, thank you for sharing.
It's funny how your usual gun setting (nice stand, green background) immediately makes me salivate lol. It's very recognizable.
I have compared my SG with my T&C. I have great affection and respect for my T&C, but it's such a different gun. Actually much more "basic", which has a charm of its own.
