![]() They answered every phone call and every letter they received. Talk about quality customer service! The old Racine factory felt that no customer was too small or insignificant. Yes, it was a standard Williams rear sight adapted specifically for the Sheridan receiver. It was listed as a factory accessory in the Blue Streak owner's manual. The Williams rear peep sight used to be called the "Five Dollar" sight because that was the price some 30-odd years ago. Nickle-plated steel is commonly done over a copper undercoat for the same reason. The Silver Streak model is a matte nickle plating, I believe, and also extremely durable because nickle-plating on brass gives excellent adhesion. That "bluing" on the Blue Streak was blackening of the brass barrel and piston/pump tube and surprisingly durable, since brass will not rust through like a blued steel surface would. My 30-year old Sheridan Blue Streak (Racine, Wisconsin manufacture) looks and works like new except for minor bluing wear on the edges of the front sight. I assume that there is no problem, since I haven't heard anyone mention it as well as viewing the photo's of big 6X6.everything seems good. That reminds me, How does the silver/chrome plating hold up on those rifles? In the past I've always kept away from the silver plated guns thinking that it would start to peel/flake off. My next air rilfe was going to be an Air Arms Pro Sport or TX200.now it is going to be a Sheridan C9 and one of the Air Arms rifles. I will have to purchase one from a sport store/gun store then send it to them for the mods (at higher cost of course). Air rifles of any power are considered firearms and as such need to be purchased with a FAID card in state. I really like the idea of buying an air rifle directly from Mac-1 with all of the modifications, however, no one will ship new air rifles to my wonderful state (New Jersey) due to restrictions :x. WOW, only $80.00 for a Siver Streak rifle.I guess one could say that you really stepped into it, huh I can foresee purchasing one in the near future.Īlso, question for BIG 6X6: Is the rear sight easily removed? It looked like it was just a clamp on the barrel, but didn't want to remove it for fear of damaging it or the barrel. Those "Silver Streak" Sheridan's are nice looking rilfes. At this point, listening to what both of you had said about the work done on your rifles at Mac-1, I'm destined to have my 392 done there as well. A lot of tests of Crosman, Daisy, Benjamin and Sheridan air riles. By the way, that is a great book "American Air Rifles". I guess I should have described it more like that. House (American Air Rifles) had written that his Shreridan's trigger, which was an older model, had a decent trigger pull but the new ones he described as felt like "dragging one brick across another". The trigger is " rough" maybe gritty was the wrong word to use. Like I had said before, I really like the rifle as is, and was pleasantly surprised by it's accuracy. ![]() I have a "new" Benjamin 392, purchased about 3-4 months ago.
