I have a similar story where I sold off the bulk of my collection, factory parts, tools, repair manuals 20 years ago. I thought I was out of the hobby for good but started to tinker with a few guns just over a year ago. But this time it's far different; I'm having more fun than ever as a casual enthusiast rather than directly working in the industry as a professional. I also reach out to Nibs some months back and greatly enjoy watching his vids. It certainly is more entertaining watching someone else's content rather than creating it for others. All the best, Steve Gibbons, Former Senior Field Editor, US Airgun Magazine.
It's truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance Steve. So glad to have you aboard. I'm at that age where if it isn't fun, I'm not doin' it. 🤣 Seriously though, sometimes having a hobby instead of a job takes all of the pressure off. Hope to see more of you here in the future. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Hello Kevin! When i was a teener my friend had a Webley Tempest and i should have myself one too. I went to the hardware shop but for some reason i came home with the Sheridan e and pointed pellets that looked like a slug. It was my first air pistol and it should always be ready for use😁 Unfortunately it was never ready for use because the CO2 cartridge had always leaked out when i wanted to use it.... I was done with air pistols for a long time and the only air pistol after that i bought a year ago. A Walther LP53 for in my collection but it is like new and i don't want to use it. You know i,m a HW springer guy but i think i will get myself a nice PCP pistol some day because i have a pump for my S410. Thanks for showing my friend 👍Cheers!
Hi Ron. Ah yes, the frustration of a leaking CO2 gun. Been there, done that. Should've got the Tempest. They last forever. That LP53 is a sweetheart. I've been looking for a reasonably priced one myself. Thanks as always my friend.
I have learned from both of you, teardowns that I can refer to are greatly appreciated. I think I even help Nibs with a little bit of info. You are both my favorite channels
Thanks Mike. It's really a shame that Crosman took over Sheridan and Benjamin. When we were kids, my brother and I both had Sheridans. My brother dropped hi in the sand one day and when he pumped it up, it ruined the pump piston seal. Our father boxed it up and sent it to the factory in Racine with a note that asked that they repair it and to let him know what the bill was. A couple of weeks later the rifle was delivered back and there was no charge for the repair or for the shipping. Great companies like that are a dying breed. Thanks for watching Mike.
It's definitely a good caliber. I was a menace to the local starling population. For all of my UK friends, the British starling is an invasive species here like our grey squirrels are to you guys. It was always open season on starlings. The Blue Streak was more than effective. Thanks for watching Robbin
Nice! Pistols are next-level challenging. I’ve been exploring 10 meter pistol shooting and it makes the second hand feel like cheating. So fun to challenge yourself.
Great video Kevin,pistols are fun I love plinking with mine. Many years ago I used to have a American Airgunner Pen Friend, we woul write to each other about Airguns here in the UK and there in the USA ,but he sadly passed away a few years ago.so it's great to have you has a Airgunner Friend and your videos, how times have changed from pen and paper, thank you Kevin.
I'm sorry that you lost your American friend. You're correct. Things are a lot more direct these days. We can email, text and leave comments on videos. The world is definitely a smaller place than it was just 20 years ago. Thanks as always Stephen.
@Peter Agostini jdcap26 tips an repairs and hobbies I wasn't at all suggesting that you said anything Peter. I'm sorry if my comment came off that way.
He's a great guy. If he can't help you, he can refer you to someone who can help you. That pistol is a gem. It's well worth repairing. Thanks for watching.
Yeah I can't see to shoot a pistol anymore either but still do it at close range! Great video 👍 I don't have my Sheridan anymore but still have an old Crosman 150 .22 that I rebuilt. Carry it fishing at the river in summer.
I do enjoy a bit of CO2 shooting too, especially when the weather is warm enough to keep the power up, as you pointed out. I've never tried shooting ith .20 caliber, but that Sheridan sure does ring the bell for you. Thank you for this one, I enjoyed watch9ng the targets being shot!
Good little pistols, there's a sheridan supergrade just come up for valuation on the airgunbbs here, wish i had the money to go for it when it's in the sales section. Can't be many in the uk.
I wouldn't imagine that there's many at all. I used to repair all kinds of airguns for the public as a side business. I saw so many rare and unusual airguns in that time. Not once have I come across a Supergrade and I'm in the states. Thanks so much my friend.
I have a Crosman 22-cal air pistol (pump) that is almost an exact clone of your Sheridan. They could have been made on the same equipment. I have two Sheridan 5mm air rifles (1954 and 1970) that still shoot strongly. They just do not wear out.
I'm pretty sure that what you have is a model 150. It's a classic workhorse from the days when Crosman was a pioneer in CO2 power possibilities. I've sold off dozens of Crosman guns over the years, but I've still got my Crosman 150. Enjoy, and thanks for watching, my friend.
I have that Air Pistol in Silver and it shot very well when I purchased it and now it like your before Nibs got it , I'm probably going to give him a Email ,I seen that gun on his channel too ,and it's interesting to see it again 💥💥🔫
A couple. I've got an old Crosman 180, a 150 and a newer, full auto Beretta 92 look-alike BB pistol. My airgun collection was extensive years ago. I've since thinned out most of it.
I love those old school co2 pistols . You can’t go wrong with a Sheridan. Thanks for sharing.
Fun little guns. Definitely worth resealing. Thanks for watching, Richard.

Thanks Robert. So glad to hear that you're enjoying the channel.
Great video, I really enjoy your channel! I live in Racine where Sheridans were made and always love seeing people using these great airguns.
Thanks Mike. It's really a shame that Crosman took over Sheridan and Benjamin. When we were kids, my brother and I both had Sheridans.

What a great gun! Wish a new manufacturer would bring back .20 cal. It is the perfect balance between trajectory and power.
It's definitely a good caliber. I was a menace to the local starling population. For all of my UK friends, the British starling is an invasive species here like our grey squirrels are to you guys.

Nice! Pistols are next-level challenging. I’ve been exploring 10 meter pistol shooting and it makes the second hand feel like cheating. So fun to challenge yourself.
Yes Al, pistols are in a completely different realm from rifles. Much more difficult to shoot well. Thanks as always.
Great video Kevin,pistols are fun I love plinking with mine.

I have a sheridan model E, along with the very similar crosman model 150. also have couple crosman MK1s. All great vintage CO2 pistols.
The Sheridan is a wonderful gun but back in the day, Crosman made a lot of fantastic CO2 guns too. Thanks for watching my friend.
William ford also repairs them . Great that nibs repaired for you 👍🏻Sheridan a fine old line . 😎👍🏻
I had suggested that Kevin send it to Henry but then asked if I could give it a go.
Nibs is a great guy. Glad he had the tools to do the job. As you can see, he did a great job.
Thanks as always Peter.
@@WalnutandSteel No problem .. just letting the other guys know about him ..as well you Nibs
@@razor1962 i didn’t say he wasn’t Kevin . Welcome
@Peter Agostini jdcap26 tips an repairs and hobbies I wasn't at all suggesting that you said anything Peter. I'm sorry if my comment came off that way.
Thank you for the information. I have the exact same gun and the seal has been bad for 20+ years. I will check out Nibs
He's a great guy. If he can't help you, he can refer you to someone who can help you. That pistol is a gem. It's well worth repairing.

Thanks Reg. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks as always my friend.
You press a little lever over here - and stuff happens over there (usually!)
And they say magic isn't real 😁
Another Great Video. Thanks for shearing.
Thanks John. I marked the 27th of May on the calendar. 😉
@@razor1962 Great. Hope you can make it. Call me if you have any questions.😏
That's a nice change. Similar to my 150. I like your shooting range.
Yes, it's very similar to the 150. The 150 is a fantastic pistol in its own right. However, internally, they differ significantly. Thanks Scott.
Great video Kevin!! Without a doubt an excellent pistol for plinking!!
It sure is. Thanks for watching my friend.
nice guns ,had more of them in the past .
Thanks Peter and thanks for watching.
Great video.
Good little pistols, there's a sheridan supergrade just come up for valuation on the airgunbbs here, wish i had the money to go for it when it's in the sales section. Can't be many in the uk.

Nice video and pistol Kevin c o 2 fun
Thanks David.
I have a Crosman 22-cal air pistol (pump) that is almost an exact clone of your Sheridan. They could have been made on the same equipment. I have two Sheridan 5mm air rifles (1954 and 1970) that still shoot strongly. They just do not wear out.
I'm pretty sure that what you have is a model 150. It's a classic workhorse from the days when Crosman was a pioneer in CO2 power possibilities. I've sold off dozens of Crosman guns over the years, but I've still got my Crosman 150.
Enjoy, and thanks for watching, my friend.
I have a Benjamin that's the exact same gun but in .22 cal. Fun to shoot but with the worst trigger you can imagine.
This one's trigger isn't bad at all, considering the very simple system.
Thanks for watching my friend.
I have that Air Pistol in Silver and it shot very well when I purchased it and now it like your before Nibs got it , I'm probably going to give him a Email ,I seen that gun on his channel too ,and it's interesting to see it again 💥💥🔫
It's a great little pistol. Definitely worth repairing. Thanks for watching.
.20 cal is seriously underrated in airguns and honestly it is a shame because I think that it's better than .22
It has been said that .20 cal is the ideal compromise between. 177 & .22
Thanks for watching my friend.
Loth of other peaple underestomaet the noleg from mister Nibs and you kevin!!!
Thanks Koenraad. There's still a lot to be learned. Be well my friend.
🐶🙂👍👋🏻
Didn't know you even had any gas guns ??? 🤯
A couple. I've got an old Crosman 180, a 150 and a newer, full auto Beretta 92 look-alike BB pistol.
My airgun collection was extensive years ago. I've since thinned out most of it.
