Here she is! holds about 1 pump of air , I do believe it will need a new pump cup , while I am at it I might as well do the whole kit.

awesome! you will love it. I also have a 1985 blue streak. its a tack driver for sure. nice also for it to be drilled and tapped for the peep sight should you want to go that way.

I thought you were going to say the you had 440,478 Sheridans. I was so ready to hate you. I have an '84 one owner that spent all but it's first couple years put away. It was factory drilled. Makes you wish they still made them like they used too. Nice lookin gun.

I figured you stole it from the previous thread on it...
I was right!

CONGRATS!

I would oil, pump & shoot it , for awhile. Store it with 2 pumps in it. It may not need seals, & the oiling will make her come back to life !

+1 on what Stephen said.

Seal kit is on the way, I have been tinkering wit rehabbing it but to no avail, the cup seems rather hard, and years of sitting in a garage dust, were built up, so a good cleaning and reseal should give it new life for many years.

She looks nice. You planning on refinishing or leaving as is? I personally like the old worn look. Doesn't seem to have any gouges or chips from its previous owner. One of the reasons I'll decide to refinish.

Back_Roads · « **Reply #13 on:** January 15, 2017, 06:29:45 PM »

I may refinish eventually mainly to protect the stock, for now I can live with the dings.

Seal kit arrived today and is installed , so I pumped it up installed a .20 pellet and fell in LOVE, wow is all I can say being my first Blue Streak and also .20 cal. air rifle.

can even hit on target with the iron sights

Congrats brother!! Welcome to the BS club

To shoot a properly functioning Sheridan is to love one... no way around it. What kid don't like ice cream and candy?
Congrats on your first..... lol

Rarely does a day go by that I don't shoot at least one Sheridan. Remember, you don't have to pump it up fully, for every shot. Most of my target/plinking is done with 3 pumps. ENJOY !!

avator · « **Reply #18 on:** January 19, 2017, 02:14:20 PM »

Yes sir, you can certainly pump your blood pressure up with one of these. If I get out one of the M/M Daisys after shooting one of these the Daisy feels like it's broken. Even with a full 10 pumps.

That actually happened to me once, I had gotten done shooting ol' blue and when I got my 2100 out something didn't feel right and I though it had conked out on me.
