The Steel Plug we make does not fit 342's as the Pin pattern doesn't match the Dans till 1989 on the first 392. On Vintage 1989 and Before Sheridan guns needed Only a Steroid conversion ($95) and the Steel Front Plug as well to insure Future Pins are held well when the Pump cup gets renewed. Everyone that points it loves the feel and the lightness(5.25lbs) and the faithful styling from yesteryear that makes it a great little carry gun that packs the punch of a Steroid but looks like the old 312 Benjy your dad had. We first showed the prototype to the purests a few years ago and they went nuts. I had talked about doing the RTXW for years and finally got the project going recently. The current Factory gun IMO has too high a Cheek piece and makes shooting it a real challenge for shooters like me that are short and with a pronounced cheekbone. Retro tootsie slims the stock up so it is no longer hard to get aligned with the sights. If you have a wide face of pronounced cheek you will have difficulty getting low enough for the sights on this gun. WE call it RTXW or Retro Tootsie Extended Williams. We slim the butt stock and normally fit the Williams peep. That is a way to make the modern made gun look like the 60's vintage guns where they had small round pump handles that looked like tootsie roll candy. Retro Tootsie Option is $75 and includes the extended lever option. Williams Peep sight is a upgraded rear sight that is $40. $30 for Extended option or the Scope groove option. Extended is made for tall people with longer arms who will feel more comfortable with a longer lever. That is $30 and only considered practical if you or others using gun are over 5'10". The Extended billet option makes the gun easier to pump. Links, Rivets, levers, pistons, pins, PTFE Inlet and Delrin Outlet are all Mac1 items. We use solid parts not sheet metal and no-corrode stainless on our adjustable piston. Some versions do not require as many parts so they are less to convert.

The Billet Steroid Conversion runs $165 to the current series gun which need front plug, lever link and lever as well as the rest of the Steroid Internals. 6 pumps will get you the same power as a factory gun 8. My conversions make for a gun that lasts a long time and has higher performance per pump than the factory item. Tomorrow one last rub down with 000 wool and then first coats of tongue oil. I think its a pretty good match, at least I should be closer then it was. Then rubbed it hot with clean cloth to remove excess. I hit the pump/fore stock with DK Walnut stain. Here is the butt after a wipe down with water to ''whisker'' the wood. BUT they are what I like to call ''character'' marks. Unfortuneately both will show as they didn't take the finish as well or the same as surronding wood did. I had a little filling to do as I did on the butt. Suttle changes, but should show some of the nuances of the grain better as well as feel better in the hand. Mostly defining them better and then I slimmed the grip for my larger hands. These stocks are HARD and actually saw more material removed with the finer grits. Then I went to 100, then 150 finally twice with 220g. I started with 80grit to take off the remaining finish and sand out a couple imperfections. The deeper I get I may have to get a older Benji too. 22 and they share some parts and an over all look of the Sheridan confusing many folks. Minor changes thru the years, but not to caliber. First when Benjamin bought the company and second when Crosman bought Benjamin. Wood finish is trashed but the wood under shows nice figure and very few dents or gouges to repair.Īgain huge thanks to Streak as with out him this would not be possible!Īll Sheridan Blue streaks are in 20 cal/5MM calibre. I haven't decided but I need to do something because the stock has surface damage like it sat in a barn or damp place for a season or three.
#SHERIDAN BLUE STREAK REPAIR MAC INSTALL#
I am going to install a butt plate or rifle pad. (Hope I don't loose them.) I'll box the metal parts up and ship them tomorrow. Setting the small parts aside I would not need for a while. Last night I stripped the gun and cleaned all metal parts. This will be a complete rebuild using Tim out in California for own of his "Steroid rebuild", and I'll refinish the walnut stocks myself. They are great handling and shooting rifles. I bought one here off Johnny Reb, Jeff and that's a great gun! I also own a RWS 34 and a very old Crosman 760.Īny how, I wanted a Sheridan again. So we have again begun shooting air guns. Reciently, with ammo scarcitys and increased costs, I am again interested in air power. Many years later, I lent it to a "friend" who has since moved away and completely dripped off the grid! Repeated eMails to last address go unanswered.
A very kind member here Streak, (Sam) sent me his!! I had one as a child, growing up.
I received a replacement in the mail a couple day ago.
