Designed to be less expensive than the Model A, it had a MSRP of $35 when introduced. Within a year, it was decided that a cheaper model was needed, and in 1948 the Model B 'Sporter' was born. Unfortunately its high cost (MSRP $56.50), translated to very slow sales. I'll probably send them out to Baker or Mac1 but figure I might look at tinkering with them myself since I'm mechanically inclined.The Sheridan Model A 'Super Grade' was introduced in 1947 and is considered one of the finest Air rifles ever produced. Anyway, I now have a son and want to introduce him to gun safety and shooting skills with these pellet guns and want to start getting these things back operational. During that time I was also given a Silver Streak (1994) that I was told also has an issue. Quote from: nmantas on October 15, 2017, 08:55:10 PM My Sheridan Blue Streak (pre date codes) was a family passer down and has been in storage for 20 years or so since I graduated to rimfire guns (it also had developed an issue holding air that was never fixed so it was retired). What the gus are currently doing: Blue streak doesn't build pressure and silver streak is extremely difficult to cock (haven't taken the stock off to lube the moving parts not accessible from the exterior as of yet). Can anyone direct me to a working link to the Blue/Silver Streak service manual? I have the pdf's from the Crossman website but these other posts eluded to a more detailed service manual.

I've seen two links posted to a service manual several different times while searching the forums and each time I got to download it (two different links have been posted) the links are dead.
