Thanks for all replies and advice everyone. Will Think on this for a bit for sure.
What's the lifespan on this, does it happen to all owners?yes, the problem has been written about but mainly on a UK forum and sometimes the piston will need replacing also if the cocking arms have damaged it enough
I have the heavier stock version, but my favorite to go out and shoot is the 1955 model which has the smallest pump arm handle. It is super handy.The triggers on the original Sheridan models are the easiest to make real nice. But once learned, they all can be made very good. My only beef with the original Sheridan is the small youth stock and one single caliber choice. Although a good one. Benjamin actually made great improvements on the Walnut Stock. Full size, bigger cocking lever and a butt pad. Also Benjamin made a beautiful “Silver Streak” that had a very rich nickel plating. Crosman took it up a notch by offering these in all the calibers. Then did the Crosman thing, year by year kept cheapening it. Walnut stock to Beech to Synthetic. Now all are discontinued. I think there will a revival in interest for all these American made classics.
How about a little info on that o-ring mod sir?She now has a working safety, and with some lube in the right spots the single stage 2240 trigger is much better. Also changed out the barrel to an 18" unit, grouping better w/o fliers. Re installed the original valve spring, two #11 o rings between hammer & valve.
From a 350b fill shooting 15.89gr FX at 815fps (start velocity) I would get about 60 shots form 350b to 130b, shooting 21.9gr AEA at 900fps 40fps from a 350b to 130b I would get about 1.5 mags, and shooting 18gr FX pellets at 900fps I would get about 2 mags and change fromna 350b fill to 130b. I remember shooting VK .223 28.5gr around 770fps which I think is about 28fpe and I would get about a mag and a few shots. Shooting slugs out of the platform will use more air due to the extra surface contact.
Sweeeet! What kind of figures are you getting from that set up?
I search the classifieds daily, just in case!There is always just get a used impact mk2 from a reputable trader in the classys. Find them for around $1k. 50fpe is not maxed on a .25 and tons of shots in that power. Still easy to get parts and addons as well. Granted i like me some used prices and trading a bit, or alot. Lmao
actually it is ……..heheheIt’s not the first time he’s heard that
Pretty much.Isn’t it just the spring guide that quiets the spring?
