20$ spent well?

French t0ast · 06-21-2008, 04:13 PM

I was looking around some pawn shops today in Pensacola, and i found this for 20$ :]
I was out looking for parts for a nasty build.
I only went to 2 of the like 40 pawn shops on Pace Blvd, im sure now chplnstone will beat me at looking through the rest

On the side it says its only .20cal... I didnt know that .20cal BBs ever existed.
Anyone got info on it? It says its a F-series Sheridan Racine, Wis.
The only problem I can tell is that the c02 nob is stuck... but i have not tried very hard to get it out.

So should I keep it or use it for parts on my nasty build?
Im new here, so I hope i didnt make a fool of myself with my limited knowledge :]

Holy crap that was a good find.

A couple of those guns have gone for $400 + on a few auction websites.

.20 cal Pellets! It's a pellet rifle, not for use with BB's. They're the preferred round for use on rodents as they blend the velocity of the .177 and and the stopping power of the .22 nicely. Great buy!

Sweet Grab!

Nice find. Sheridan pellet guns were big on quality and low on practicality, though. Uncomfortable stocks, poor sights, high weight, and very hard to pump for the pump models. Because of that, it's perfectly forgivable to turn them into something useful such as a paintball gun. My recommendation, though: get a new stock.

Why does he need a new stock? From what I hear, ones that go down almost the full length of the bottom tube are relatively rare.

chplnstone · 06-24-2008, 01:36 PM

hhhmmm...no pump, wonder if it's a 12vie-powered bluestreak? rare, eh?

French t0ast · 06-25-2008, 02:17 AM

yep it runs off 12 grams :]
Its neat. It looks great
I got the plug off and put in a 12gram, it just leaks, needs to valve work.

i guess i should keep/sale it and fine another one, not so good to use.

Son of a....
Tar and Feather!

A very very nice find you have there tOast.

If you ever decide to sell the stock I call dibs.

Also I would say use the trigger group for your build, and have the stock cleaned up a bit from the spindoctor then keep it far away from palmer's ASAs and asa mounting bracets...would be a great stock for my future bolt action build...
