Just wanted to say thanks! I own a small firearms business, had a customer bring me his Blue Streak, looking to get it working again. Your video made it happen!
Thank you NorthwestAirgun great pace for a tutorial, I don't have to keep rewinding. Completed the steps you completed just now 5-1-20, not happy times right now but it will get better! A good time to work on your old air guns.
thank you again , a old fiend of mine gave me one , i had order a kit for it , hadn't put it n yet just need a refresher course , also to see the deference to a Benjamin , thank s again
Hey Johnathan! You may consider the last hit with the hammer on the rivet to use the round part or ball of the hammer. That is what it is made for! Not many people know that. Keep up the good videos!

@@NorthWestAirgun ok I made a tool with a lathe do I just pull out the valve like straight out or I need that other tool is well because it's hard I got the nut out but I can't get the valve out
Recently replaced the seals on my newer model 397, the hardest part was those roll pins on the end cap. Then attaching the new piston seal , a process you don't show. I had to beat the hell out mine basically, it's built like a tank. Thankfully Crosman still carries all the parts and they carry over to the new models with the synthetic stocks. They've dicontinued the wooden stocks, so anyone with wooden is lucky.
Ty, There is some seal stuff and other tips in some of the other videos, couldn't put it all in one, or even in the 'Streak from Hell' series. Sounds like your rebuild turned out ok in the end?
@@NorthWestAirgun It did. I bought a roll pin punch set for the job. I wound up getting the piston seal onto the rod by hammering down upright from the other end, that burred the edges on that end a bit but used a fine file and got it smooth. I used pellegun oil, just to make it true to Benjamin's specs. Downloaded the parts schematic from the Crosman site so it was a pretty simple job. Would still like to know how you got your piston seal on the rod. Could you link the vid?
Great work and nice video's but a "Endoscope" would be great for seeing and showing what is deep in the insides of the guns. The one I got is 5.5mm so it can even go into a .22 cal barrel. And it didn't cost much from Amazon. Just Sayn
Great Timing John, I was just starting to look at how to replace the seals on my dads Sheridan blue streak that I got from his estate. Luckily its not in bad shape and I don't think it has ever been apart. I'm so glad that there is a rebuild kit, can you provide a link to the Mac1 seal kit?
Hi Darrin, that's cool that you still have a family Streak. You'll need the valve tool, which you can get from Pyramid Air, Baker Airguns, and even eBay if you search for Sheridan valve tool. As far as kits, I recommend the Mac1 Airgun Shop kits, but there are others at the sites noted above. And take a look at our video on installing a single port valve, (the Sheridan valving is pretty much the same but without the single port issue), the valve polishing tool, and the ones about cleaning your parts. Take your time and don't push things and you should be ok. Let us know how it turns out.
Thank you for these videos. I have my fathers Sheridan Blue Streak 5m as well as the one he gave me. Both are pre 95. Where can I get the proper rebuild kits and valve tool for these?
I'm gonna take a break and come back to this in a few days. I'm not sure you realize this but there are exactly ZERO vids on the issues with the valve alone. Sitting through 20 minutes of armature rivet installation, hoping you will eventually get around to the valve is killing me. The work you HAVE shown on the valve, specifically machining the inlet valve seat look great but give no helpful info for those without a lathe handy and really, doesn't help lathe owners either. Why is it so hard to get a straightforward look at the valves on these things? God help you all if I ever get a decent internet connection.
Can someone tell me the name of the part on the 13:29 minute mark please and where i can get one please? I need that exact same part. Mine bend and broke when I was pumping it. Thanks!
I understand the concept and reason for wanting to compress the exhaust valve spring. My question is, did you do so because it was a new spring supplied with the reseal kit and was stiff? If it was the original factory spring, would you still have compressed it? I'm getting ready to reseal my Blue Streak and just wanted to know. Thanks
Depends. The exhaust spring ideally will be strong enough to just hold the valve closed while you pump and get some pressure behind it, maybe even require that you cock the gun before pumping. But weak enough to not close the valve very fast, i.e., allow all the air to be dumped. Old springs might have lost a bit of strength, which would argue for re-use. So, if the kit comes with a new spring, it’s your choice to use it or not.
Sky, I hate to pass up good money, or even bad money, but Im swamped. email me if you want a reference to someone who I trust to do the job. nwa@northwestairguns.com
enjoyed your videos. they are very detailed which is something I may need. I have an old Sheridan silver streak 5mm. when I tried to use it a couple of days ago, there was no pressure. since it seems to have happened rather suddenly, I did not think it was a lube problem. I did find an extra pellet which I must have done once there was no pressure. after many pumps, dry firing, as well as some live pellets, there is minimal pressure. not enough to kill a pesky ground squirrel, but at least it will exit the barrel. should I just try more lube and firing to see if it gets well? or is there a single part like an o ring or spring that is likely bad. I don't really want to put in all the labor for installing a rebuild kit like the one you installed. my experience is that there is usually a singular cause for most failures. this is an old air rifle from my youth and has little value other than pest control. I must not be a very good shot anymore because I miss about 80%of the time. at 75, my aim is not what it used to be.
Well, be thankful for the 20% of shots that hit the mark, I guess. And cool that you still have it after all these years. Try this; open the cocking arm, and funnel a thimbleful of alcohol down into the hole in the bottom of the tube, just aft of the cocking lever slot. Then pump one pump and sit the gun in the corner, upright, overnight. Next morning, pump a few more times and shoot out what's in there. Pump and shoot several times. Then do whole procedure over again, another overnighter. You might have to do it several times. Probably gunk will get shot out, so clean the barrel before shooting pellets. Many people tell me it will clean out the valve and allow even old seals to hold air again. At least for a while. Post here if it works.
Thank you for your Videos, I rebuilt a Benjamin Franklin 347 for a friend, I’ve used many of your videos for reference, I’m having a hard time letting go of the gun now, I always wanted one as a kid so I jumped at the chance at fixing one I figured how hard could it be? It’s crazy how many parts are in one of these guns😅
I as confused as can be. I'm a 63 yr old lady. My grandpa raised me and he passed away in 1997 at the age of 93. He was "Dad" to me. I inherited his Sheridan that he told me he had as a young man. I knew how to fill it and pump and shoot. But a few years ago I did something totally stupid and don't know what the hell I can do about it. I filled it too much and something quickly came up, I had to sit it aside and forgot about shooting the thing. I had had it filled to the max and pumped as tight as I could get it. My plan had been to do some serious target shooting. Well, about 2 years go by, it's sitting in the corner of my bedroom. I pick it up and the wood part yu pump drops down into my hand. I had had it pumped tight, but tight it was no more. Something in there gave out and the shots still shut up in it. I was afraid to empty them out with all that tension I pumped into it that last time. This gun is my diamond. I'd never part with it because It's part of my family. Any ideas about what needs to be done? Thanks! J..... PS. No gun shops around here have any idea about air rifles like these so they just wish me good luck, Haha😫
Hi John, I have a 1981 Benjamin 342 with the keyed rivet that's worn and creaks. I've ordered a Mac1 replacement rivet, do you drive the old one out by hitting the keyed side? I don't have a press and I'm hoping I can still do it with a hammer and punch and may be heat if needed? Many thanks.
Also helps to center drill the rivet first, doesn't have to be all the way through, yes, from the keyed side. The problem is drilling in the center of the rivet, and not enlarging the hole. Here's a url that shows it; www.kitplanes.com/flush-rivet-removal/
25:00 This is how you destroy your seals, casually shoving shit back into the tube. Doesn't matter if it's the piston going in from the front or the valve going in from the back, MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DE-BURRED AND THERE ARE NO SHARP EDGES.

Looking for someone to rebuild my dad's old Sheridan blue streak. It's in a lot better shape than that one but mine has a thumb hold safty " a hump that has to be held down by my thumb" any idea what year?
Well, that # would date it from 1971 or 1972, don't know what the F means. Yes, value certainly exceeds cost to repair. If you don't want it, let me know and I'll send you my shipping information.
Yes, you can check out the 'sold' auctions on eBay to get an idea of value. But Streaks in decent, working condition usually bring $125 or more. Cost to repair is $70 plus shipping, less if you shop around (cheapest in the Pacific Northwest is Ollie Damon in Portland). So yes, it is worth fixing. And, streaks are discontinued, so they ain't making any more of them. If you shoot much, it is a better gun than the pumpers available new today. If you want to sell, you can make a few bucks fixing it and then selling it. Or just sell as-is. There are plenty of people looking for Sheridan or Benjamin/Sheridan made streaks (before Crosman bought out the Benjamin/Sheridan brands), even if they have to have it repaired.
Well, there's this; discover.crosman.com/blog/benjamin-sheridan-product-dates-of-manufacture Sometime around 1964, Sheridan started putting numbers on the left side of the reciever, at the trough where you load the pellet, that was the reverse of the year, i.e., 4691 was actually 1964, etc. Before that, hard to say.
@@NorthWestAirgun ty but it's no help,, It's definitely a Benjamin Sheridan and it's a C9A series 20 cal and a serial #1967702911 funny can't get any specifics on it.
@@drunkingsailor2359 That looks like a Crosman type number. So the gun was made after Crosman acquired Benjamin/Sheridan in the early 1990's , and before production stopped, what, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Doesn't narrow it down much, eh? Maybe ask Crosman directly; www.crosman.com/support-contact Please let me know if they respond.
@@NorthWestAirgun Tried that already short of calling them, the site has a form you fill out and requires the model# from a list that is missing the c9a series, thr closest cousin is the the Benjamin 392 in the .22 . So it's going g to be a phone call Monday I guess
treat it how it is apparent you never had to remove and type of pins, these are roll pins or spring pins and are made to fit tight, only way to remove is a punch and hammer go get a life!
Wow, someone noticed. No, it's not Django, but his work, with stefan grapelli on the fiddle, was the inspiration. Actually, it's part of the free UA-cam music, as they can suspend your video if they think it is copyrighted music, so they provide tracks for youtubers to use instead. You have no idea how much bad music I listened to before I found this. I haven't figured out how to get around the censors yet.

Cost to repair is $70 plus shipping, less if you shop around (cheapest in the Pacific Northwest is Ollie Damon in Portland). So yes, it is worth fixing. And, streaks are discontinued, so they ain't making any more of them. If you shoot much, it is a better gun than the pumpers available new today. If you want to sell, you can make a few bucks fixing it and then selling it. Or just sell as-is. There are plenty of people looking for Sheridan or Benjamin/Sheridan made streaks (before Crosman bought out the Benjamin/Sheridan brands), even if they have to have it repaired.
@@NorthWestAirgun F stands for june 1970 date it was inspected its in reverse F is sixth letter meaning 6th month .. 0791 F = june 1970
Is there a way to know what yr by the serial #?
Well, there's this;
discover.crosman.com/blog/benjamin-sheridan-product-dates-of-manufacture
Sometime around 1964, Sheridan started putting numbers on the left side of the reciever, at the trough where you load the pellet, that was the reverse of the year, i.e., 4691 was actually 1964, etc. Before that, hard to say.
@@NorthWestAirgun ty but it's no help,, It's definitely a Benjamin Sheridan and it's a C9A series 20 cal and a serial #1967702911 funny can't get any specifics on it.
@@drunkingsailor2359 That looks like a Crosman type number. So the gun was made after Crosman acquired Benjamin/Sheridan in the early 1990's , and before production stopped, what, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Doesn't narrow it down much, eh? Maybe ask Crosman directly;

Please let me know if they respond.
@@NorthWestAirgun Tried that already short of calling them, the site has a form you fill out and requires the model# from a list that is missing the c9a series, thr closest cousin is the the Benjamin 392 in the .22 .
So it's going g to be a phone call Monday I guess
Sir where did you get those long pliers?
The pliers are for some of the old Benjamin Co2 guns, not generally available anymore. Maybe a medical clamp could be used instead.
What did you use to clean the threads up on the main nut threads?

I love my Sheridan blue Streak I WILL NEVER treet my gun like that
treat it how it is apparent you never had to remove and type of pins, these are roll pins or spring pins and are made to fit tight, only way to remove is a punch and hammer go get a life!
Your music is fantastic ... Is that Django Reinhardt on guitar from the 30's ?
Wow, someone noticed. No, it's not Django, but his work, with stefan grapelli on the fiddle, was the inspiration. Actually, it's part of the free UA-cam music, as they can suspend your video if they think it is copyrighted music, so they provide tracks for youtubers to use instead. You have no idea how much bad music I listened to before I found this. I haven't figured out how to get around the censors yet.
Are you in eureka ca?
Not any more, was in Arcata, actually. Now in West Sacramento.
29:40 I quit. Are you seriously installing the inlet valve with the valve body installed in the tube? Tell me it's just the drugs, please.

STOP. THIS IS NONSENSE.
