Awesome! I can picture this clearly so thank you again. I'll update as the days go on!

Thanks again...can you try and explain "exactly" where I should place oil to treat the pump cup? I may have misunderstood or, out of caution, not oiled enough the other day...I appreciate your help and advice!

Hey all...I did my oiling and everything seems fine, although I can't seem to be able to send a pellet unless I pump 4 times. Tried with 3, but nope! Had to repump to 4 to send it. On four, it lands hard, so don't know what to think. Otherwise things are looking good for the gun! Again, thanks...

This is all so brilliant...thank you SO MUCH! I'm going to go all in on this in the next couple of days...I'll pass on my experiences with the job.

Thanks again...Yesterday, I put some light sewing machine oil, down the barrel and left it overnight (actually about 24 hours). Today, I noticed a wee bit of oil seeping from the breach and over the thumb safety. I did one test shot at just 2 pumps (still blocked). I wiped everything down and...

Thanks for this...it will be tomorrow when I try these things...bedtime in Nova Scotia now!

I just pulled out my Sheridan Blue Streak .20 Caliber after it was sitting for a LONG time (4-5 years) (barrel up). First pellet left the rifle fine with good force. The second though seems stuck in the barrel. Should I send a probe down in and in what direction? Once out, should I lubricate the...
