This is a discussion on Blue Streak summer air gun. If you can shoot the open sights on an old pump up air gun like a Sheridan Blue Streak. Mr serial number. Where is the serial number for a 63-90 sheridan blue streak located? I've looked at every reference book I have and can not find a model Sheridan 63-90 Blue Streak. The Blue Streak, As far as I know, is CB9 not 63-90. Even in the summer I still do a lot of air gun shooting. One area that air gun shooting has been especially helpful is with my open sight shooting on the CZs. Trust me, if you can shoot the open sights on an old pump up air gun like a Sheridan Blue Streak, switching to the open sights on a CZ is like trading in your Yugo for a Mercedes. We have three vintage Blue Streaks and all are Blue Streaks made in the original Racine, Wisconsin factory (not to be confused with the later Blue Streaks made by Crosman). One of our Sheridans has a peep sight and one is equipped with a 6x scope. Both of these have done less than an inch at 50 yards for me, this summer, but, as always, finding the right pellet is a must for the sake of accuracy at 50 yards. The third and my favorite Blue Streak is our 1972 Blue Streak. We bought from the original owner. Even came with the manual and the dated invoice and, oh yeah, it is in mint condition. Out of respect and love for this gun, I will never do a mod to it, not even adding a scope or a peep sight. The open sights on these old Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman pumpers are fairly crude, but they are rugged and appropriately so, given the hard use these guns typically have seen. So, a couple weeks, ago, I set out to get this Blue Streak into my inch or less at 50 yards club. Actually it's not a very exclusive club. Over the summer, I've gotten EVERY air rifle we own into this club. Just needed to get this old Blue Streak into the club to make it a clean sweep. So here's how it progressed in pictures, slowly, but surely, getting group size cut down to that magic one inch threshold. And, finally, these two a couple days, ago. Funny thing happened along the way, shooting these open sights. Had a ball and learned a lot, too. This old Blue Streak ain't done, yet. ![]() We can do, better. Thanks, guys. Crosman has discontinued the Blue Streak, so it's now history. The recent Crosman edition of the Blue Streak was basically just a Crosman pump in 20 cal, anyway. Rad studio xe 2 keygen torrent.

The Blue Streak with the rocker safety - the one we all know and love, made in Racine - really disappeared when Crosman bought out Benjamin, back in the 90s. The excellent Benjamin pumps also got the Crosman treatment, but it took a bit longer. (If you can find a Benjamin 392 or 397 with a metal trigger guard and safety behind the action and not in the trigger guard, buy it, though the current 392/397 guns are still excellent. Terry To adjust windage on the rear sight on the BS, loosen the set screw on the side you want groups to move and then tighten on the other side. As for vintage, check to see where the gun was made. It will either be Racine if it's the original design or Bloomfield, NY if it is the Crosman version. The Crosman version is easy to spot, though. Where the stock and forearm meet on the Racine, it is a vertical line, as in the pics, above. It's angled on the Crosman version. Even if it is the Crosman, it will be a very accurate gun with the right pellets, as in the ones I was using in the pics. The Crosman is easier to scope, too. ![]() I am brand new to the world of air gun collecting and have a few questions. I have just aquired an sheridan C-series air gun that has been laying in the attic for many years(not sure how many). It has a serial number of 465000 and is in what I would call almost mint condition. The only downside is that even though it is a beutiful gun and pumps up and fires it has very little power no matter how many pumps. It has the air hole with a warning not to oil.Is it still possible to oil this model? My question is does any one know what year this gun may be by the serial number. And if I must find a repair part for the air chamber, where do I find the parts and how do I aquire the manual to learn how to tear it down for repair. Good weaknesses to say in an interview. I live in Louisiana and have called virtually every gunsmith I can find but none will work on an air gun. I would love to fire this gun on a range and posibally find more like it so I will be readin this forum as often as possible.
