22 single shot rifle,it is silver in color and I believe it is aluminum or some type of alloy. It has a much larger receiver than you would find on a. I viewed the photo of the old silver streak and while the overall look is very similar it is not exactly the same as this one. Should it be stored cocked and if not how can it be uncocked without fireing it?
I will store it with a pump of air in it. The safety now works also, before it would not come out of the fire position. I followed your instructions and now everything is fine. When I first got the gun it would not pump up and hold air, I thought it was defective. I thank you very much.You solved my problem. Let me know how the Benjamin Sheridan repair kit works for you. Buy it when you order your kit so you don’t forget. They expect such support and are often shocked if it isn’t instantly available, as in, “Where’s the web page?”įor both repair kits, you will need some good silicone oil, and I recommend Crosman Pellgunoil.
As cars, TVs and blenders became more disposable and less repairable over the decades, two generations of Americans have grown up without doing their own simple repairs – unless they had a detailed manual (or even a video!). While some customers will sail through the job without stopping, much of American know-how has gone south. These two kits are going to generate a demand for instructions. If you’ve used this kit, I’d appreciate hearing from you. The kit has seals only, but that’s all the single-stroke pneumatic needs. Lest you think I’ve overlooked it, Pyramyd also sells a repair kit for the IZH 46 and 46M. Remember that the Benjamin 390-series rifles have been around since 1992, and the Blue and Silver Streaks have been with us since 1949! The parts in this kit are probably not going to fit the older versions of these guns, so think about that before you take the plunge. I’ll certainly be a lot more aggressive when looking for older guns that match up with this repair kit. So what if they don’t work when you get them? You can rebuild them in short order. Knowing this kit is available opens up a lot of possibilities to buy guns at flea markets and pawn shops.
Buy the kit so your good buddy can install it for you! It’s a win-win situation regardless of your own capabilities or interests.īuy cheap, broken-down guns & repair them yourself! There’s still a benefit, since people who are technologically challenged often have good friends who can fix anything (they need them!). If you struggle to replace the batteries in a garage door opener, this kit may not work for you. This may work for you whether you’re handy or not! Whatever you do, don’t practice on your good Blue Streak! It would be better if you had an old, non-collectible airgun that you can risk ruining to test your fix-it skills. But, if you think you’re not, listen to your instinct. Pyramyd Air put this kit together for you but there are no instructions, so you have to be handy or know what you are doing.
No directions, so you have to know what you’re doing! The new kit is good for the Benjamin 392, Benjamin 397, Sheridan Blue Streak and Sheridan Silver Streak. It makes me wonder whether this is 2005 or 1905! While writing about the Benjamin 392/397 bb rifles yesterday, I was shocked to see a repair kit offered for them! This represents a 180-degree turnaround in policy from the old days, when you couldn’t get these parts unless you were a dealer or a company-authorized repair station. You don’t have to depend on dealers to get your spare parts In over 40 years that I’ve been involved with them, I’ve never seen a home repair kit. An actual kit to repair a multi-pump pneumatic is a pretty rare thing. I was flabbergasted when I saw what I’m going to write about today.
