and 1953/54 Silver Streak, great shooter, inherited from Grandfather.

Yep. Owned it for over 40 years, still shoots great for what it is. And it has, by a wide margin, the highest critter count of any gun I have owned

71 pre serial number rocker safety silver streak with original box and seals! Always been stored with 2 pumps. Almost drilled it for a peep years ago and decided against it! Glad I didn't do it!

This one got away. IIRC it sold on FleaBay for $380 quite a few years ago. Seemed like a lot of money for a Sheridan then, even one this gorgeous. I might have paid that for it today just to be in the Sheridan club with such a looker. I tossed my Sheridan in the garbage in 1988ish when I bought a new .20 R1 carbine. Dumb!

1972's The Bluestreak purchased new in 72. I put it on layaway and payed it off with grass cutting money.
In the late eighties it got dropoed and landed on the open bolt breaking the solder joint at the receiver. I sent it to Beeman for the repair, and their worksmanship was aweful and the guns performance was sub-par.
At that time I added the peep sights, and trigger shoe, as well as dilling and tapping the trigger guard for different peepsight apertures. The Intermout is original from the early eighties, with a pistol scope.
I recently sent the Bluestreak to Tim McMurray, at Mac1 AG's, for a Steroid upgrade, and resolder with excellent results.
The other Silverstreak I just aquired. I call it my Dumpster Queen, and I plan to bring it back to the land of the living. It requires a complete rebuild including the breech repaired where the someone cut about a half inch off including the barrel. After an alcohol soak, and an new barrel crown, I was able to shoot a tin of pellets from it before it died again. I have the parts and tools, and I'm fixing to do my first rebuild.

I have before, but my '73 Silver Streak. Came across it on Gunbroker, figured why not, put in a bid and a max bid figuring someone would go higher and went to work. Got an email a few hours later telling me Congrats, You have the winning bid. Well alrighty then...lol.
That winning bid was $170 and a week later this showed up at my door. Even still has the original handguard, just needed a little polishing

Get with Dennis Baker at the show if you do not see anything on a table or walking around.
Dennis is pretty up to speed on Sheridans, and has way more stuff than what appears on the web site. He is always ready to talk Sheridan, and may surprise you with a gem or two.
C ya there, and I will make it a point to introduce myself if I have not done so already at the Midwest show.

My "trash can" Blue Streak, a friend rescued it from a dumpster and I eventually ended up with it.
It looked like this when I got it-
I found a new forearm and stock and my son and I rebuilt it. I recently folded up a new front sight from sheet brass, JB welded it on and added the Williams peep. I may refinish the stock some day, though I'd hate to lose the color. I store it with 3 pumps but it leaks down in a few months. It shoots very well despite the abuse it suffered from it's previous owner.

Here's mine.... Had it for 45 years without ever having to service it. That's saying something...

Last year I inherited a 1967 Blue Streak. The rear sight had been removed when the receiver was drilled and a Williams peep installed many years earlier.
A seal kit and valve tool from Baker Airguns got it working again. It shoots H&N FTT's far better than the original Sheridan pellets.
