A brief bio (cont.) - I have just bought a Sheridan Blue Streak . . .mind you, I bought the first one in 1968 & the second one in 1985 (a used 1972)& both were stolen . . .Now I am way over the hill (age-wise), but the third one promises to be a charm.———————————————————Questions regarding of “new” Benjamin-Sheridan hermaphrodite Blue Streak : 1.) The serial is W048822 and believe is it from 1991 ? ? ?2.) It has a Williams peep sight & no signs of a ramp sight. I examined it closely & no signs of scratching or abrasions in barrel to remove the ramp sight. Did Sheridan provide a Williams peep sight stock & no ramp sight ? ? ?3.) The rifle came with no hand grip. Did Sheridan discontinue the hand grip ? ? ?4.) Do you know the original manufacturer of the stock varnish ? ? ? 5.)What advice & warnings of this (model C9) you suggest of the GTA braintrust ?———————————————————Otherwise the rifle is in relatively good shape except for a cleaning & oiling throughout . . .regards, John
