Yeah... no over the counter stuff for me..... just sayin'......
Sounds like a little jailhouse hooch.
I just received a 1979 Sheridan Silver Streak S/N 272057... from Marty today. This gun has been rebuilt by Rob 112o with new Mac 1 parts.I have only owned two Sheridan's in my lifetime. I had been given a Blue Streak in 1958 but that gun went missing while I was away in the Army. In all the ensuing years since 1967, I have regretted loosing that rifle. With my heartfelt thank's to Marty & Rob, as of Today, this one will be the replacement for the Blue Streak that went " Missing in Action" My Best Wishes to All - Tom WoodP.S. An Ecstatically Happy Camper Here ! The Gun.. As Marty Had It. ( His pictures are WAY Better than Mine ! )If you wish to enlarge the pictures below, Click the Image.

I am happy to report that I should see my own 1963 Silver Streak arrive Tuesday from Steve!! I had the same feelings you did when it comes to buying from such great people! Its reassuring knowing the guns were cared for so well and there's just something nice about the exchange between two people who truly value and love these beauties. These are a few pics from Steve (I'll post many more)Rare 1963 Silver Streak with adjustable piston rodI wish I had a sweet gunsafe like you do! These things deserve a nice display! So is that mount special made or did they produce the silver mounts too?

So is that mount special made or did they produce the silver mounts too?That Was Marty's Picture that he had in the Classifieds. I bought his gun Minus the Mount and Scope. Marty took a standard Mac 1 Mount and buffed it down to the Aluminum so it would look like that. Here is a Picture of that Gun as I received It. I now have a Mac 1 Mount Myself and I am waiting for MY scope to arrive. Best Wishes - Tom
Re : FamilyMan811I ordered a long eye relief Pistol scope ( Blued ) - A Mac 1 Scout Scope Mount (Blued) - A Silver Mate Finished Open Reflex Sight with A Silver Weaver Rail. The Scope and Open Reflex Sight will both interchange with my 1377 Crosman Pistol.Best Wishes - Tom

I start off with 500 grit sandpaper, followed by 1000, then 2000. Lay the 500 grit sandpaper on a flat surface. Formica table tops work well. Run the sight with the grain (long way) until all the blue is removed. Follow up with the other two until the sanding marks are all but gone. One piece of the mount will have to be removed & done separately because it is recessed.Move onto a power buffer. Use brown/black polishing compound. Here the polishing is done across the grain until all sanding marks are removed. Finish by polishing with the grain. In this application the mount does not need to be disassembled like above.
