Sheridan Model B Sporter

[45flint]

Yes it packs a punch and it's very accurate too. The sights are great, better than on the B actually (finer foresight).
I think that Lawrie uses polyurethane yes. Hope I will get this A valve apart! It was resealed in 2010 in the USA.

Cheers, Louis

Ps. I know it's sinful but I think I prefer this cheap Crosman 187, shooting wise. 40 shots per powerlet at 620 ft/s, and very accurate. Wish it had grooves for a scope.

My Sears 180 with the longer stock is one of my favorites. Backyard friendly with 2 powers and a little easy to reseal than a “A”.

Vintage airgun porn!

A 140 and 180 are definitely on my list to own one day. These are in splendid condition old boy.

The Sears/J C Higgins with the longer stock is one of my CO2 favourites too -- the second version I have does have grooves for a scope but they are very shallow.

You will not be disappointed. The quality of the old crosmans has no connection to the nasty things they make today

I agree, JC I know a lot of their range are budget or starter guns but I think they take the mick and I'm sure Rudy Merz wouldn't be very impressed.

@45flint, lovely guns!

The only thing that can become a bit uncomfortable with the 180/7, is the cocking knob. After a lot of shots, my precious little hands start to ache a bit LOL.

This Taiyo Juki has a smooth bolt. And a scope rail. Crosman inspired for sure, and accurate, even though the rifling looks rough.

I think I am making my thread about lots of other things than the Sheridan B

Hijack away Louis

Those old Nikko scopes are very clear and not bulky like new scopes.

I have a Crossman 1400 with no scope rails so I made my own
