Hi cwlongshot,Where did you get the butt plate/pad? I'm in the process of getting a 342 that's similar to your Sheridan and I would like to add a butt plate like the one you have or even a little thicker to extend the stock after I cut it. That's some nice looking work I know you are going to love it when you get it back from MAC1.Bryan

I pulled it off one of my guns probably when I added a ''real'' pad. CW
QuoteI had a Sheridan Blue Streak as a young boy, growing up. Many years later, I lent it to a "friend" who has since moved away and completely dripped off the grid! Occasional and repeated eMails to last address have gone unanswered...CWUNTIL NOW...Well well... Last night, I'm checking emails and I see one i do not recognize. as I read thru it turns out to be from the fello who borrowed my original Sheridan back around 2003/4!!! Says something about having moved and the rifle was in storage and apologies he forgot and lost track yada yada yada... Long email shortened; he is fairly certain he knows where the rifle is and should be able to get to it this weekend and ship it back to me next week!!!Now after all this time, I'm not holding my breath. BUT the thought of having the old girl back is appealing to me!I'm into the waiting game on the project Sheridan. I should see it back mid June. The stocks are "hardening" and maybe this weekend I will buff off the gloss to the matte finish I prefer. I will post pics if/when I do. I also got a email from pyramid air saying a couple of my back ordered pellet tins have been shipped as well. Seems I'm 5MM pellet rich at the moment. CW

I reshaped the front grip for a more slimmer rounded style and added a buttpad and grip cap.http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/cvarcher/DSCN2094_zps22d433b2.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/cvarcher/DSCN2096_zpsbf9c0a33.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b278/cvarcher/DSCN2092_zpse9271eb6.jpg

CW Tonight I received another email from my friend tonight... (after emailing him again over the weekend )GREAT NEWS... HE HAS FOUND THE SHERIDAN!!! WOOHOO!!!I must admit, he is not very forthcoming with updates... Seems I need to PRY responses out of him. BUT its looking more like I'll get my rifle back!! He said its a busy week for him, but he will ''try'' to get it shipped out to me. Mighty nice guy... I would not want him to put him out. With luck next time I mention this I'll have my 'dan back in hand!!CW
