Happy Birthday to me.

Sending my 1971 rocker safety Sheridan Blue Streak into Baker Airguns for a frame off restoration. I bought this with 4H lamb money when I was 9 years old. It has put more small game on the table than any firearm I own. The valve assembly gave up about 12 years ago. It was beyond my skills to repair it. That vintage Sheridan had the valve assembly sweated in place with solder. I could never get it hot enough and backed out of the self-repair.

8 weeks and about $150 to have it mechanically perfect again. When I get it back I will finish the tung oil job I was doing on the stock.

The grouse should be trembling already. .20Cal/5mm 36 grain pellet at 650fps.

Not my gun, but one like it.

My Bday too!!!
N that is/was my favorite pellet gun!!! Bought mine when I was a kid from trapping furs!!!
A little known fact about that 20cal pellet…u can drill a little hole in the top, put some black powder in the hole, and a muzzleloader percussion cap pressed on it makes quite the pop when u hit something hard…..idle hands n deviant kids

I used to drool over that same rifle in the Sears catalogue but never got one. Happy birthday from another Capricorn

I had a 22 cal Benjamin pump pellet pistol. I loved that thing!

I have the matching 20 Cal Sheridan pistol. I could barely get it out of Moscow Pawn before letting out a victory whoop! I made a leather flap holster for it. It has come on a lot of elk hunts.
