Sheridan Barrel Separation

[TerryM]

  I find it interesting that the old Crosman barrels came "pre-separated".  The breech and front sight are soldered to the tube and the barrel attached only at those points, not soldered the whole length like the Benjamins and Sheridans.  (Referring to models 107-118.)

Didn't know that, had to probably use the heavier barrel to make that work?  Are the 101's soldered at the three contact points?

No, the barrel is pressed into the receiver.  I replaced a barrel on a 102, a chore I don't care to repeat.

Well positives are they won't separate?

They do have that going for them, yes.  Each of the old designs have their strengths and weaknesses, I like them for what they are.
