Hi,

I just finished resealing a Sheridan Model F and thought I would write something about it.
There is not much info on the net; thanks to Ped and UJ Backus for their advice.

The hardest part was getting the chamber plug out; the aluminium part that holds the face seal.
It was stuck; I followed UJ's advice to soak it in penetrating oil and then use a spent CO2 cartridge and a long wooden dowel
to tap it loose from the muzzle end. Then I pushed it out with a metal rod.

Ped supplied the seal kit. Working well now. 570 ft/s with 13.73 JSB's which translates to 10.1 ft/lbs.
I have the impression that this is on the high side for an F; I haven't done a complete shot string but I expect the shot count to be quite low.
Velocity went down whilst shooting the first 10 shots, but I think this was mostly because of shooting too quickly. The cylinder was getting pretty cold.
This gun has serial no. 263147 and was built in 1979.

Cheers, Louis
