Nice job! Too bad aboout the leaking valve. Perhaps defective?

CW keep pumping and shooting it may be that the valve needs to break in some to seat properly

That is a keyed rivet. It connects the lever arm to the lever link and will often have wear in it. If your rivet is round on both sides this is not the correct part for your gun. If it has a rectangular shape on one side about 1/4" long and the other side is 1/4" round, the keyed rivet is for that.

CW - did pumping and shooting help?
I was following this thread because I have a 1975 Sheridan blue streak that shoots but with 8 pumps it can only manage 7.3fpe with JSB 13.73gr pellet. What a wimp! I was thinking about ordering a repair kit but it sure sounds like I should send it in for repair.

Carlos, sending mine in was the second best money I ever spent on an Air Gun, the first was buying it to begin with...

cwlongshot · « **Reply #45 on:** June 05, 2013, 10:00:30 PM »

I wish I had sent it in too.

Don't get me wrong, it was learning experience and one that proves the worth of the dollars paid to a rebuilder.

Look at it this way, I ordered the parts, posted a hundred questions, sought the special tools. Spent the time and aggravation attempting the re build. I STILL have a rifle that is not correct. AND I will likley send it in anyhow!!

I have seen no improvement with the leak. I still can hear is hiss out and I have bad hearing. I have pumped it 8 and opened the pump as if going for nine. And if I stop with the pump open, I can hear air leak out. If I close pump and shoot, its like a kids BB gun. MAYBE 2/250 fps. If I only allow the quick gulp of air it seems to shoot strong. Side by side with the Benji the benji has more poop.

CW,

Just wanted to let you know that I decided to try the "kit" for my Sheridan - but when I went looking for it at Mac1 website, I couldn't find the kit anymore--- sooo -- I went ahead and ordered one from PA. I did look at the reviews and there were more good ones than bad ones so I got the kit in yesterdays mail and today I have a working Sheridan. The installation process was explained pretty well in the enclosed instruction sheet. I also really liked the combination tool that came with the kit. I had already knocked off the rear sight because I have the Williams Peep sight to install. Now I have to read up on what is required to drill and tap the mounting holes. I am happy that I am on the way to a working Sheridan Blue Streak but like I said I still have to install the Peep sight.

Good news! Best of luck with the re build!!

If you have drilled and tapped before its pretty easy. I did mine no issues at all. Two things, be sure the base is properly positioned and use it as a template for the holes.

The kit on mac1 was right there altho I missed it myself a couple times too. I did contact tbem for some help and was properly directed.

I wanted his kit as its class to be the best.

Hi Brian,
Funny you posted this, as I was about to ask if you had gotten yours back yet.

Mine followed yours by just a week or two to go see Tim.
So I guess they are sitting there side by side, keeping each other company, and swapping vintage hunting stories

. It's nice for them to have each other to talk to, right ?
( I'm picturing 2 old guys in rocking chairs,... on the porch,... sipping some spiked lemonade,... and telling lies about the longest shots they've made on a Fuzzytail or YB ), haha.

I know he does the Steroids in groups, and I'm in no rush.
(We all know that steroid jobs are not for the impatient). haha.

I spoke with Dave(?) at the shop just 2 days ago just to say Hi, and see if there was any news on mine (and a couple others) I had sent along with the Racine.
I told Dan to not interrupt Tim from working, and that I didn't need to speak with him,.. I was just checking in.
Dan checked with Tim (who was very busy in the shop). When Dan came back to the phone he told me Tim was "getting ready to start working on some steroid jobs probably next week".

So we can be looking forward to a nice "Fresh Spring time Steroid"

Mine is pretty much going for the "Full Monty" including scope mount.

I also sent a 65 Dan to Tim around the end of January. It's getting steroided and a LDC added. I plan to put a pistol scope on it ( old eyes).
