Silver Streak repair update old thread

[Goose]

I don't know if you've seen it, but there's a thread here on stuck pellets in a Sheridan. - https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=132540.0

I'd pull the valve out and try a propane (or pencil) torch (and keep track of the heat with an infrared thermometer) were the gun mine.  Lead melts at a much lower temp than silver-solder does.  Wet rags will soak up heat and keep it from going where you don't want it to go.  The barrel is phosphor-bronze, so you won't be able to melt it with propane or butane.

Good luck,

     Eesh. Something magnetic stuck in a brass barrel doesn't sound good for rifling. I saw that gun on Craigslist quite a bit, I think it was constantly being flagged for TOS. I think somebody acquired it, took what parts they needed knowing the barrel jam, and the gun probably came and went via lot sales.

It first showed up on craigslist in July 0f 2020. Seller decided to keep it at the time.  Fast forward to this month and it was relisted on craigslist. Same seller from 2020.  Existing parts are probably worth more that what I paid but I really want to get it shooting again.  I've sourced most of missing parts but the straight bolt may be impossible to find.   There's no small hole on the right side of the receiver so it's probably a '49 or '50 model. And it's polished to a chrome like finish so if not fixable it's still a cool wall hanger.
