Sheridan Blue Streak Coming My Way

[amd6547]

I have wanted a 5mm Sheridan since I was a kid...but I had to make do with a Crosman 1400 pneumatic.
I just won an auction for what looks like a 1960's Sheridan Blue Streak in good condition. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I already ordered an assortment of pellets from Pyramid Air.

They're neat old airguns. I still have one that my folks gave me for a birthday present many years ago. I put a new valve in it a couple of years ago and it's going strong.

Nothing against my old Crossman...after decades of shooting firearms of all types, I still consider some of the shots I made with that Crosman to be some of my best shooting ever.

Congrats! I have had one since 1977 when it was passed down to me by my now deceased uncle. I took many squirrels, doves, pigeons, and rooster pheasants with it as a kid. We tested it to see how it compared to a 22lr and with regular 5mm rn pellets and 10 pumps it penetrated more plywood than a standard 22lr. A friend also had one that he took a coyote with. Also if you can find the old erasermate pens cartridges they are 5mm and work well as darts for it.

They hit hard and shoot good.
