I'm looking for a seal kit for this gun. After a search last night the only thing I found was one kit from Pyramid. Is there any other folks out there that offer a seal kit for this? This gun brought back a wealth of memories when I found it in my old closet at my mom's yesterday. I want to restore it back to full functionality. This thing was devastating. All of the other kids had the usual Crosman 760's but knew when I whipped this thing out......something was gonna get tore up (no I wasn't a vandal).....lol. I never misused it in my young days. But if you guys know someone or a link to a website for the kits any help would be appreciated greatly. I already have the stock sanded down to reseal it so now it's time for the mechanics!

I'm in the process of fixing up my own Blue Streak, also from 1977. Mine was re-sealed about 10 years ago, and I'm hoping the seals are still good. My project:

A bit of history:

Some ideas for parts:

The valve removal tool is pretty important. The valve body is soldered in place several inches down in the tube. One end of the tool loosens the locking ring, and the other screws on to the valve stem so you can pull the core out.


Keep us posted on how it goes.

slavia I appreciate the info and any help I can get. Hopefully I will be able to order the kit soon. Then I will be looking more closely to start this project. I'm sure once I get into it more questions will arise.

Hey there, have you tried checking the online parts catalog over at jgairguns.biz? I haven't checked for Sheridan parts there yet, but they do have a very extensive parts catalog that covers a wide variety of air guns.
Your post caught my eye, because I have a 1979 Sheridan Silver Streak C9 that I bought new, and still have. So far, it has not needed any parts.
Good luck on finding the parts you need. And here is a picture of my trusty old Sheridan:

Wow that brings back memories of when mine looked that good. I used mine so much I wore the finish off of the stock. And I remember trying to disassemble and attempt to remove the valve over 25 years ago and never could succeed. After reading on this forum it was obvious why. I had no idea what a process it is. My seals gave out somewhere in the late 80's so I just stuffed it in the closet. But now I want to bring it back to life. Thanks for sharing the picture!

I'm glad you enjoyed the picture of my old rifle. Yes, I never shot it that much back in the old days, but now I have been shooting it quite a bit. I think I put about 2 boxes of pellets (about 1000 rounds) through it in the past 30 years. Then I took it out last fall, and started using it again.
I hope you can find the parts you need to repair yours, and get it back up and operational again. I wish I knew how to take it apart so I could help you repair yours.
