I have an old Sheridan Silver Streak that needs some attention. Anybody know of someone locally who works on these?

Chuck repaired my old Sheridan several years and and did a good job. Only problem is shipping. Adds a lot to the repair cost.

Have you contacted Benjamin/Sheridan?
When mine needed repaired they gave me contact info for a guy in Arlington. He repaired it in a couple weeks and it was very inexpensive
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

I have the tools and have rebuilt and resealed them for about 6 years. It's a hobby and not a job. I am North of Tyler if you can't find a shop.

Repaired My Sheridan C 1984 model. Was my Dads and passed it to my nephew good as new.
Anyone wants to repair there's, I have the valve tool and a spare MAC1 valve seal gasket I'll sell,
as I don"t need anymore.

Good luck on the .20 cal pellets, I too have been looking for the past 6 months, they are scarce right now indeed.
Seems like anyone who has some is listing them on evilbay for 2-3 times what they normally sell for.
