Picked up this nice Sheridan Blue Streak at a recent firearms auction here in Ohio. Paid $150, and it came with the original box (showing quite a bit of storage wear) as well as the instruction book. Serial number indicates a 1976 build, just before Benjamin stepped in and bought them out.
I purchased the gun thinking I would probably need to drive it over to Baker Airguns for a seal job, but when my order of .20 cal JSBs arrived today from Trenier, I took it out for a quick test. Despite being nearly 50 years old, it looks and shoots like new! Took about a dozen shots with anywhere from 5 to 8 pumps and was knocking the bottom out of some Coke cans from about 20 yards shooting freehand with iron sights. I'll put it over my chrony when the weather warms up, but I can tell it has some pretty good zip. Despite having some nice modern PCPs at my disposal, it's still a joy to get out the vintage guns for some plinking fun!
