Hi all, I am 80 years old and have owned a Sheridan Blue Streak since I was approximately 16 years old. This gun was manufactured some where's in the 1950's. After it set now used for many years I started to play with it about 5 years ago. Last year I installed  a Pyramid Air kit, as it was not longer able to pump any pressure. Now it is as I remembered it for power. One thing I notice is that it shoots to the right. I have the rear site all the way to the left and it still shoots about 1/2 to 3/4 in to the right at about 20 feet. Either the barrel is bent or the front sight is bent. I will probable have to have a gun smith look at it. I do not have equipment accurate enough to sort it out. (Still trying different things)

As I am getting older I am thinking about a PCP--except the pump and tank etc cost as much as a low price PCP rifle. I have considered trying to convert the Sheridan to a PCP. I have done some calculation from formula on the  web and the Air reservoir will handle the pressure easily!!! If I calculated correctly. What I do not know if the Sheridan valve is sufficient to hold the pressure and not dump the whole reservoir on the first shot. Any advice /information in that area is more than welcome.  

 

Cheers .... The old young guy

Welcome, and good for you on continuing shooting.

PCP caught my interest. But I decided it was just too expensive for what it is. The price of the guns is fine, but the cost of air tanks, quality pumps, or compressors is ridiculous as far as I’m concerned. I suspect eventually someone will invent a tank or compressor that is a reasonable cost.
