Sold - Thanks GTA
Early 1970's (1974 I think) Sheridan with rocker safety and Williams 5D-SH peep.
I bought it a couple years ago, having had good memories of these and older Benjamins in my youth.
Health issues since then have made it easier for me to shoot my C02 and PCP guns, so the Sheridan isn't getting much use.
It appears that the barrel/air tube joint was re-soldered at some point as a thin line of silver can be seen. Good reason to hold the rifle at the rubber handguard and not down at the grip.
The repair looks well done, it would have required a full rifle refinish to cover the silver solder line.
Other than the solder fix, the rifle looks and shoots great.
I've clocked 14.3 gr. Benji-Sheridan cylindrical pellets at 560 fps. with 6 pumps. Max is 8 pumps per the manual and breaks 600 fps.
Included are a full tin and partial tin (about 900 pellets) of Benji-Sheridan cylindrical pellets and about 75 13.7 gr. pellets that I believe are H&N.
I can shoot nickel size groups at 40 feet with the cylindricals, the H&N ones will go dime sized.
I'll ship in a smaller box with the stock padded alongside the barreled action and provide tracking when shipped.
Paypal or USPS money order.
$165 price includes shipping to lower 48.
