Just carried out some Chrony testing: 8 Pumps gives ave of 523 fps giving 9.29 lbft 10 Pumps gives ave of 584 fps giving 11. Voices Of Freedom Volume 2 Foner on this page. 58 lbft 11 Pumps gives ave of 599 fps giving 12.21 lbft These were all carried out with Logun Penetrator.20 @ 15.6gr pellets. Each average is of 5 shots. There's quite big variations in the fps values over the 5 shots. Legal limit in the UK is 12 lbft so 10 pumps max for me. How do these figures compare with other Blue Streaks?

Have to say accuracy is not that great at the moment. Its a windy day which doesn't help, but even so. Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 Pc Serial Transfer. Might need to get the crown worked on to make sure its ok.

Saying that if the fps varies alot then the accuracy won't be good anyway, is there any reason that the fps could be so wild? This type of rifle is all new to me so any help greatly appreciated!! I know the tool can be gotten from bryan and associates look at their website, some make it with a spare ratchet socket, if he wont send it direct i will surely send it its the best stuff, in the mean time you can use air tool oil or compressor oil the viscosity is a hair thinner but it works and keeps the valve nice, just by lubing it if it hasnt been lubed it might help the gun out, im waiting on a 1958 that will be shipped monday, the older rifles from the 50s had really nice barrels, am anxious to see difference in gun i will post pics whe i get it and let you know on performance. Toby, I suppose by now you've noted that brb and I are the Sheridan cheering section.;o) As he noted above your rifle should be shooting much stronger and once you get it in good fettle I think you'll find yourself very surprised indeed by the velocity stability. The vast majority of springers can't hold a candle for it in that respect! Below the line you will find a composite of my writings about Sheridans within the past year to various correspondents & airgun boards.

Tom ************************************************************* I only have 3 Sheridans left but they're all 'keepers'. If I HAD to depend on an airgun to put protein on my table in a real survival situation it would be my # 1 choice.

My oldest one---a 1st series 1949-'51 Silver Streak---was last rebuilt in the early sixties of the past century after it was given to me by a cousin who thought it was 'worn out'. It's been used----a LOT! I'd still trust it with my life! I have a couple of later model rocker safety Blue Streaks--'66 & '69--that are as accurate as the early hold-down safety Silver Streak but I've 'said Grace' over both of them and they will embarrass most high $ imports in both power AND accuracy. Just for the He11uvit treat yourself to a good mid-late '60s rocker-safety Sheridan. Expect to pay @ $150---give or take depending on condition.

Costs little to rebuild but well done they approach---or even exceed----700 fps with a 14.3 Premier (15.5 FPE). Put the # 64 Williams peepsight made for it on the rear and prepare yourself to fall in love with airgunning all over again. The '60s rifles were scarily accurate as were all the early Model Cs from 1949 up----and they're pretty close to eternal in airgun terms. The triggers never even heard of a lawyer and the bronze barrels just seem to improve with age. They virtually define 'shooter-friendly' and will make you wonder why in blue blazes you're sweating blood by trying to wring accuracy out of a recalcitrant springer when your C model yields it so eagerly. A good C will make you love pumping!

There's just something 'right' about an old pumper that makes it belong in every outdoorsman's home. Perfect medicine for defending Martin houses, bird feeders and property from usurpers wearing fur or feathers. Good snake medicine in a boat and an endless source of amusement in camp. Not much beats sitting on a shoreline in a shaded lawnchair with a cold barley soda near to hand and lazily putting in a few pumps and picking dragonflies off of the catttails on a lazy Summer day.
