Sheridan Sheridan Model C Photo Request

[Luv2hunt]

As the title implies I am requesting photos of your Sheridan Model C's, from 1949 thru 1990.

The photos I would like are as follows;

- a full body photo of your guns left side.
- a close-up photo of the receiver (both sides).
- a 3/4 photo of the trigger and trigger guard.
- a photo of the pump rod assembly.

Here is a 1972 CBW with the photos requested.

Thanks in advance.

Those were available pics of the 65.
More proper pics later.
Prime the pump maybe?

1955 Bluestreak

1972 pre serial number Bluestreak.
I polished this gun down to the brass years ago when the original finish got ugly from bald spots.

Very nice photo of the 1965's CB receiver inspection date.

Good job dating the '55 CB. Last year of the soldered on rear sight and last year of the pinned bolt access hole on right side of receiver.

Thanks!

A good wear mark area on a Sheridan, comparing normal wear, to one that I grew up with.

Also shows a stock Sheridan plug, (left) and a Mack1 Steroid, replacement plug on the right.

The 65 has an original finish (L), and the 72 (R) has a forty year old (Tru oil) refinish.

I have been taking photos of the Sheridans I have resealed for customers, would they be of interest, IIR I do have most the photo angles you would like?

April 1972 first month of serial numbers Silverstreak, The Dumpster Queen!

Interestingly these two are only a month apart in age. A March 72 pre serial number Bluestreak, and the April 72 first month of serial numbers Silverstreak.

Obviously the DQ, has been severely abused, and a personal project, that I was told couldn't be done by several Sheridan guys including Tim McMurray.

I don't know if these folks are embarrassed of their ugly Sheridans, or maybe they can't take pictures?

This post provides an archive of the changes (in photos) of Sheridan production changes, as well as a look at some aftermarket stuff that may wind up on them.
Like the hand guard on this 55 Sheridan,

It isn't a counterfeit, but a little different than an original.

Come on y'all share your pics and modifications.

Very nice '72 C, and a very early one at that.

Thanks. It came from Oregon. Grandkids sold Gramp’s gun. How can you tell it’s an early 72?

Yes, Luv2hunt nailed it.
The serial numbers started in April 1972 and went to 025650, to start 1973.

That sure is a beauty!
