    Sheridan Weird issue with old push button safety Sheridan blue streak, NEED HELP!

    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.

Now, when you say "one drop onto the piston head"...where does that drop go specifically...where do I put that one drop? I so appreciate your help!

    Thanks again...Yesterday, I put some light sewing machine oil, down the barrel and left it overnight (actually about 24 hours).

    Sheridan Weird issue with old push button safety Sheridan blue streak, NEED HELP!

    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...
