Lewis, the oil showed up today and it is good stuff for bringing the shine out. Thanks once more.

Here's the gun back together and with the new Ballistic Enterprises Integrabase 'S' scout mount fitted.



Waiting on my Weaver Top Mount low rings and then the Simmons Pro Hunter 4x32 pistol scope goes back on.

Re: Sheridan 20 blue streak
very nice 

Re: Sheridan 20 blue streak
By way of an update, I managed to locate an old Sheridan from a dealer in Queensland. (Google can be useful at times) anyway the permit turned up before Christmas and I picked it up just in time.
It looks like its had some honest use, but metal work is in very good condition. Have managed to put a few pellets through it, with the open sights and she shoots well and holds air which was always a concern. Stock will definitely need refinishing in the near future, then it will look alot better,but it will have to wait to I finish the house renovations. By the serial number looks like it could be a 72 or 73 model.
Cheers

Vintage ammo.
what would be the chance of a photocopy of your manual as I just bought one of those today, always wanted one
will have to wait a while to pick it up as I have 2 air rifle PTA's away already.
This air rifle bug has bitten hard.
