This is a refurbished Sheridan "C" model Blue Streak. I had a really nice 1984 barrel/tube/action in stock that had exceptionally sharp rifling and a nice pretty patina.

It was a good enough action to qualify it as "BEAST" material. By that I mean ALL NEW steroid modifications to make the pumping and valve system as strong as possible. I started by using a threaded adjustable pump rod with a new stainless steel piston head so I was able to adjust the pumped air per stroke to the max.

The new steel muzzle plug was a secure anchor for the pivot end of the NEW billet steel Lever/Link assembly. This gun could now take the strain of heavy pumping.

To handle the higher pressures in the pressure chamber I used a NEW PTFE exhaust valve, a NEW PTFE. Exhaust valve body seal, new PTFE intake valve, new bolt O-ring, with. The new steel parts were from MAC1 airguns who uses them to rebuild his "steroid" guns. The Williams peep sight guarantees accuracy. The stock is one of a kind.

It was hand-made by someone (no idea who as it came with another streak I had bought) who is more patient than I and a pretty good craftsman. Sure it is rough around the edges, but that gives it real character. This walnut stock matches nicely with a Sheridan forearm I had been saving.

Time to test this beast to see how she performs. This gun chronographed 701 feet per second using 8 pumps. Most Streaks I rebuild clock in around 630 FPS. When pumped up ten times I got 750 feet per second with no air remaining in the pressure chamber.

The new steroid parts handled the extra strain just fine. To check accuracy I shot a 1.25 3 shot group at 60 feet using the peep sight. Someone without AMD eyes will do better. Please note that I perform chronograph tests at nearly 5,000 feet altitude.

Pumping up at lower altitudes will increase velocity around 6-7% with the same number of pumps. This is due of course to the denser air at lower altitudes, and thus more volume of air with each stroke. It is built for the long haul, to be used for targets, small game, or varmints and is meant to be "rode hard and put away wet" but not shown in a display case. In my opinion the Streaks are the finest air rifles ever made. Sheridan's use of quality walnut for the stock speaks to the commitment they had for quality.

Good ones are hard to find, and like they say, they aren't making any more of them.
