Title: Pawn Shop Special! As-is pictures added
Post by: Smackey54 on December 19, 2011, 07:55:38 PM

Just picked this Blue Streak up. Supposedly it didn't shoot, so I got it for $20, as a "parts gun". Brought it home, oiled it, let it sit for two days, pumped it up and it shoots!
Will probably need seals, but the two shots I  put over the chrony were 710fps with Beeman Silver bears. (9.8 grain).

Good winter project. Rusted rear sight, stocks need refinishing, barrel and chamber will need external paint.
It has the rocker style safety.

Am looking forward to "purtying" her up!

Pictures in my last post of this thread!

Thanks guys. Let's see if I can get these pics posted.....

Sorry about some of the picture quality...still trying to figure the darned camera out....

But as you can see, the exterior is in pretty rough shape. This is as I bought it. Will dress her up with some cosmetic surgery, face lift, tuck, complexion adjustment, etc.

Will give you all a before and after comparison when done.

I would love to snag a deal like that for 20 bucks!  It may be ugly now, but it makes the improvements that much more drastic :]
looking forward to seeing its progress

Sweet deal! I'm sure after some tlc it'll be great. They just don't build 'em like that any more.

Nice find!!! Look's to have an orginal Sheridan scope mount on her, that alone to most collector's would get your $20 back in a flash.
