I wouldn’t fly Air Canada. I would rather fly pterodactyl dinosaur with the Flintstones. Or even walk.Since Bob & Doug Air is shut down and I’m not picking Kim up at airport today I decided to peruse estate sales. First one had a pic of what looked like two Blue Streaks, a Daisy underlever carbine, and an unmistakable HW breech block. Couldn’t tell which model from pics. First time I’ve ever seen respectable air rifles at estate sale here. 33 miles away, was rolling in less than 5. The Benjis and Daisy had sold on first day of sale Thursday, but this little HW30 was still there. And it was half price day too! Some wear, some surface rust, trigger guard so loose I’m surprised it didn’t fall on the floor, this girl was used. But, rifling looked good and Rekord trigger on it. Pre-safety. Paid and ran. Got home, tightened trigger guard, grabbed some AA 8.4 that were already on table. Not only did it shoot, it shot great! Beautiful shot cycle, NO buzz, NO twang. Trigger was crisp. Will chrono when it’s not 98 degrees and 110 heat index outside but my guess is it’s close to spec. Date code puts this one at 1967 according to The List so assuming it’s a leather seal? Looks like the metal cap on the end where safety would be on a new one just pops off to fit on a spring compressor but someone correct me if I’m wrong. Neat little rifle, glad I found it. Just hope Bob & Doug don’t expect a thank you, because they’re definitely not on our Christmas list this year.

love the rounded pistol grip on these old ones , wonderful find worth twice the distance .Since Bob & Doug Air is shut down and I’m not picking Kim up at airport today I decided to peruse estate sales.

Nice looking Pistol? Are the valve pins difficult to replace?If you don't see valve pin problems too often in the forums, you should be ok. This little guy got all the bad valve pins I think.

Tell me about your scope mount set up, pretty please!I dont believe thats a custom stock. Some factory Sheridan shad gorgeous walnut figure in them. I have a beautiful tiger striped figure on my silver streak. Ive also seen an unusual snake pattern walnut that led me in a bidding war up to $1500 before I said no more!! My first sheridan I bought was in 1966. Anythig and I mean anything I aimed at was hit. Heres a quick story. When I first bought my gun I didnt have pellets for it. My friend told me he knew a store in Floral Park that had them. So we boked over and sure enough I bought the red can with white top of 500 pellets. When we got home he wanted to try it out. I never shot the gun so i had no idea how the sights were set up. He looked way out and spotted some large black bird in the distance. Pumped up 8 times, aimed and shot . HE said I got him!! So I went out there looking for this bird under his guidance of direction. When found it ,it turned out to be a grackle. I paced back 100 yards out! Talk about magic !! But this was true. And those Sheridan bantam pellets were not only accurate but super penetrating. 30gallon steel galvanized garbage pails were completely penetrated and still went into soft wood the depth of the pellet. Just want to mention to AirnGas man to take that rear site off as the spring pressure will eventually crack the solder of the barrel to lower tube. Earlier sights had set screws and presented no problem. Just tap out the thin plastic blocks under the clip and it comes right off. Instead have it drilled and tapped for the williams 5D Peep sight. Youll shoot it even better!! Heres my 3

How do you like your hpss?I thought the same thing on my hpss, it wasn't really a thing. I do have experience shooting moving target games with bolt actions so I may be more suited to operating a bolt or side lever in the moment, to be fair. I do operate my side levers in a similar on-target time frame as the semi but that is highly subjective to the user too.
If you don't see valve pin problems too often in the forums, you should be ok. This little guy got all the bad valve pins I think.Thanks for the advice. I have heard mixed opinions on AEAs. Trying to figure out if this model was problematic.

I liked the thought of quicker follow-up shots. Thank you for taking time to reply to my post.
