Hi All,
Seeing all the fun Septic Death is having with the oldies I decided to dust off my old Sheridan this evening. It was a tad chilly here in California and I figured the pumping would keep me warm. This gun was found in a trash can by a buddy, it looked like this-
It would pump and fire but didn't hold air, so my son and I rebuilt it and I added a stock and forearm from the AA classifieds. I tried to solder on a piece of brass to fix the front sight but no luck, so I got creative with a scope mount I'd bought for it and adapted a different front sight.
I put a Williams peep on it as well-
So after doing some 'leaf cutting' I ended up at my range-here's 8 shots offhand from 10 meters-
I kind of surprised myself so I backed up to 15 yards-I ran out of pellets after 3 shots (plus my arms were getting tired)
I'm impressed with how well the aperture sights work for my old eyes!
