Looks good... just need to blue those circlips now

I was thinking same thing

[--ped--]

sadly due to kung flu my supplier is shut and they were the only e clips i had (for silver streaks really)but rest assured i'll be getting some and will forward some on as they stand out like a dogs digit

How about that for a service! Tbh I wouldn't care if they were fluorescent pink, well worth swapping the old roll pins for these, almost impossible to damage the pump arm and tube.

[--ped--]

those will possibly the last i'll do as no real demand for them -i may do a few for myself as i have around 10-12 sheridan/benji's
i'm doing a different style for my 13xx pins and just need to make the 8-32 round nuts

Nice job ratbuster.
I have a similar Sheridan C9A made in March 2011 (serial no 31170456) -- does it have a cartridge type valve?

[ratbuster2240]

That's a keeper AllanM, the new equivalent versions now have plastic stocks.

I believe yours has the cartridge valve, so in the unlikely event it ever needs new seals you won't need any special tools other than a phillips screwdriver.

Lovely refresh; thank you for sharing. May it give you many years of sterling service and happy memories.

Great assistance from ped.

That's interesting, I didn't know they had succumbed to plastic stocks -- Balistas have them in stock for 240 Euros, probably even cheaper at Walmart!
I know the C9A series are not as collectable (yet!) as the more graceful C pumpers but they shoot just as well as the older models.

Very grateful you could make me a set.
