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 have always had fond memories of that first pellet rifle. Since relocating to central Arizona in 2010, have been picking up a number of air rifles... primarily at either yard sales or at the local swapmeet, when the opportunity arose and prices were right. Have half a dozen Sheridan Model Cs (with two having been broken down for parts salvage due to condition, etc.). The best of these is one of the 1950s Blue Streaks with straight bolt and slotted safety. Rifle was not working when received but maybe it was a fortunate thing, as condition is close to excellent. Must have been put away in a closet for decades for that reason... and hope to get it back up to speed with help from the membership!
Also have a Benjamin-Sheridan C9A, two Soviet IJ-22s (wood/plastic stocks), Diana Model 27 (sn. 89) and Model 34, Romanian Pioneer (plastic stock), Walther Modell 55, Feinwerkbau L.G. Modell 300, Walther Force 1000, Winchester Model 1000, Anschutz Egyptian Hakim trainer and Czech Vz35 (Vz24) trainer. In any event, just wanted to post a intro and hoping to become more involved in the near future...
