![]() I’ll make a teflon replacement as I have on so many other pumpers. It was more work than anticipated, but I learned a lot about how the guns were built and it turned out indistinguishable from the factory pump arm, except no missing. The pump arm was missing a chunk so I built a replacement in my wood shop and refinished the stock at the same time. Three washers? Was this a mistake at the factory or just one of many variations over the years? I bought a 1975 Sheridan Blue Streak off eBay about a week ago. ![]() ![]() This also marks the first time the inlet valve was not stuck at the bottom of the valve. Rather than one washer there was a stack between the valve spring and the inlet spring. I like the brass cap that slips over the end of the tube. The pump cup was ok, but I have a new replacement. The rivets are malleable and can be restored. Since I’m going to sand the stock, I need to remove the trigger guard. Notice the rubber to prevent marring the forearm. Sheridans of that era had a big sticker on the buttstock, must have been removed after all the wear occurred.Įven before bleaching the stain was heavy and masked the grain. Not sure if I can work all the chips out… You can see the buttstock is bleached and chipped. It will hold one pump of pressure and that’s it. The stock is beat up and needs refinishing. The serial number, 243730, shows it was made in 1978. Figured it was time to get this Sheridan Blue Streak working.
