    Sheridan Sheridan Pre-C Series Repair Advice Requested

    Been meaning to find out if there were any online forums dedicated to airguns and ran into this one (seems to be just what I was looking for). Have held a modest interest in such arms since buying my first one (Sheridan Blue Streak c.a. 1967) at a Cal Store in Long Beach, Ca. Stands to reason...
