    Ped,
    Does this style of barrel adapter work on the Sheridan Bluestreak? ls it basically held by a push on fit with a grubscrew?

    Yes he does them for blue streaks too and held on with a grub screw. He's helped me out several times after buying junk that doesn't fit.

    The Benji has had a few more tweaks as it still wasn't dumping all the air. I played around with the valve and hammer springs, mounted the red dot further forward to allow easier pumping and fitted one of Peds silencer adaptors. Next I will see what power it's making and accuracy test. I've enjoyed this one but I may well sell it in the future to fund something else. I've now got a new project of sorting out a very rough Sharp Innova.

    How did you manage to rebuild it on your own? It is a miracle for me, really. I am a big fan of guns of all types, but it only with regard to active use. But I am a complete loser when it comes to any remodeling. Where are you from? I would love to ask you to do something with my older guns. I am from https://worldcams.tv/netherlands/amsterdam/dam-square if you are interested.

    The wood stock versions have been discontinued but the plastic versions will still be fine and durable. Check there won't be any hold ups with UK customs if you do order one.

    Thanks Ped you're always very helpful, I've ordered some grub screws to try.

    The Birchwood Casey bluing kit arrived today. I've had success in the past with this on Crosman tubes and hopefully the metal on the Sharp will also like it, but it can be a bit hit and miss.

    Its helpful to have a clean work area so you don't lose any tiny parts, a schematic diagram and online tutorials. If it's the first time stripping a gun, taking photos along the way will help when you put it back together.

    It's amazing the performance that can be had from just a clean, polish and fresh seals. It's also satisfying doing it yourself and if you get stuck there's very knowledgeable members that are willing to advise.

    i've just pulled out my other ally breech and i think i altered the trigger spring set up by using a much smaller spring (from a pen i think) and i made a brass insert to replicate the innova one
    the breech i tapped a larger size
    i'll make you one through the week if you'd like

    Great work Ped that looks exactly what's needed! It just doesn't seem right at the moment.

    I'd appreciate that if you find the time.
