Coincident to the 80th anniversary of what was known as Les McMurray's Fin Fur and Feather is my 30th anniversary ownership of the firm now known as Mac1 Airgun Distributors."
His commitment to excellence planted a seed in my brain and I wasn't going to be satisfied until I followed in his footsteps. He loved these little machines as much as I do and he was one of the best mechanics I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. He was the first warranty center for the Crosman Airgun Company and when he went into semi-retirement in 1959 he wanted to do Airgun service for the rest of his days.

It does have the ability to hold up to 50 rounds of ammo which is nice This air rifle is perfect for kids to plink around the yard (once theyre old enough) The Gun Rack.

BP Benjamin Sheridan CB9 Blue Streak C9 Silver Streak. The last time I pumped it and let it sit for 30-40 seconds. D I was actually able to shoot it 4-5 times The seals appear to be revidalized the seals enough for pressure. The oil I put on it Tuesday worked in and loosened up the inner workins. He is a busy guy/old school guy, but a real treat if you can get him on the phone (310/327-3582). Re: Sheridan Blue Streak rebuild Sure enough Last night I worked a bit more on the action. I recommend him highly and have used him for years with my streaks. Sheridan blue streak repair instructions Hanshi,all good advice given,Tim at Mac-1 is the streak master can also apply his steroid tune up for extra zip.A blue streak is not an easy airgun to reseal,special tools needed and their tricky using some lead seal rings.Look up some of the airgun forums for tools and instructions if your going to give it a go yourself. He specializes in "steroid streaks", and custom makes some of the original real/old school parts that Crossman discontinued/downgraded over the years for cost savings/planned obsolescence. Stronger valve springs will keep the hammer from holding open the valve.Tim McMurray, 3rd Generation Owner, Mac1 Airguns, out in California-Specializes in Benjamin/Sheridans (among other things-airguns) from back in the day, one of the few who can silver solder that separated streak barrel (and if you are lucky enough to talk to him direct, will likely get a welcome lecture that you should have removed the rear sight and immediately replaced it with the Williams Peep sight since the way the rear sight is attached (w/wedges) on the streaks creates tension on the barrel causing it to separate (Cost savings and planned obsolescence, according to him), remove that rear sight and you likely will never have trouble with barrel separation (unless you use the wrong type scope mount). If you want to, and feel like doing a complete valve rebuild, buy the parts from Pyramidair and pull the valve, replacing the springs. This shouldn't prevent smooth and useful operation of the gun. The valve stays shut even though the hammer is resting on the stem. In a newer gun, or one where the internal springs are stronger, the hammer sprng will not overpower the valve springs. The valve won't shut until the pressure is taken off, by cocking the gun, and moving the hammer to the rear. Always store with 2-3 pumps to keep dirt out of the seals. Pump 2-3 times and put it away overnight to see if it holds air.
If the two inner springs are weak, the uncocked hammer lies against the valve stem, holding it open. Don’t use anything but a crown saver or monofilament fishing line loop to pull patches- the barrel is brass Lube the pump cup with pellgun oil, pump 2-3 times and dry fire to get the oil into the seals. When the hammer strikes the valve stem, the stem pushes against these two springs. The two inner valve springs hold the valve SHUT, so that pressure can build. The reason is based on the relative pressure of the valve springs vz. Just wondering if there is something wrong with one or two of them. The guns all look identical except for the color on the Silver Streak. The other will NOT build any pressure unless you cock the bolt first. One of the Blue Streaks will build pressure when pumping without cocking the bolt first. I have 2 Blue Streaks and a Silver Streak that I got from my Grandfather.
