Does anyone know if a later curved bolt will work in the older hold down Sheridans or not? I have a an old Silver Streak I cant get to hold after replacing all the valve components and I suspect the breech o ring seal on the curved bolt is not large enough in dia. It is a new o-ring provided by Bryan & Associn their re-seal kit.

Do I need the older straight bolt and the o-ring that goes with it?

Where did the curved bolt come from? Was it part of the gun, or something you substituted in?

I would suggest you not replace a curved bolt with a straight bolt unless someone swapped them around in the past.

If this is .20 caliber rifle, and you idea the bolt o-ring is not fitting correctly, it is likely a .177-sized o-ring was sent with it- the .20 cal o-ring is slightly larger and the .22 cal slightly larger than the .20- find a larger o-ring.

I dont know the history of the gun. I thought all hold down guns came with straight bolt handle, this one has the curved handle. Could be original, could be a wrong fitting replacement.
