I was recently gifted this Blue Streak. It was in sad condition. The stock was battered. Someone had been inside and kinda messed things up. Believe it or not, there was a nail, about 3/4 of an inch long, bent into an L shape that was in front of the bolt. Some screw missing. In place of some roll pins there were the shims for the sight and other stuff.
I refinished the stock and got a rebuild kit for Mac1. It took some messing with it but it now pumps and holds air over night. It surely is not a collectors item but it will work as a shooter. I am glad that I could salvage it.
Well, I am having trouble posting a picture. Will have to work on it.

Looks like you've got a perfectly good shooter there! Congrats!
I like how a little sweat-investment raises the personal value. I have a few that were thought to be beyond repair and I value them the most.
Stay safe,

That's pretty cool to take something so beat and get it working well. The stock looks great!

DANG Rod... that is Beautiful!
Looks to be a
SILVER
Streak.. not a Blue..(unless you polished the blue off down the the brass)..
The Silvers are much more desirable.
Very nice job!

No, Jesse, it is a Blue. It was already stripped to the brass when I got it. I started to paint it but the paint covered the makers markings as they were very light due to the previous sanding. So I just stripped my paint off and left it brass.
