The obsolete gasket that seals the valve guide to the compression tube can normally be reused. If your gun is very old and has been treated with any petroleum distillates and/or solvents that damage rubber seals, the removal of the old parts can be challenging. This kit includes parts that are still available from Crosman and may require slight modification. The included valve tool (pictured on this page) is needed to remove the parts from the soldered valve body (directions included with kit).
If your gun has a rounded square hole with a valve stem sticking up through it, then the kit shown on this page will fit your gun. If the compression tube appears to be brass & is one piece with a pin protruding from it, you'll need the other kit (CR/RepairKitC9) instead of this one. Remove the guide pin, spring & hammer to reveal the compression tube. Remove the pins or screws that hold the retention cap at the rear of the receiver. Remove the screw in front of triggerguard to remove rear part of the stock. 177 model if I could find one locally but have just had more luck with the Blue Streaks.Repair kit fits these multi-pump guns made before 1995 (they have a soldered valve): Benjamin 397, 392, 340, 342 & 347 guns as well as Sheridan C9 (Silver Streak) & CB9 (Blue Streak). My Dad has an older "BB" smooth bore model that is really fun. Vintage Sheridan pellets aren't cheap either.ĭon't turn up your nose at the old "corn cob" Benjamin Franklins either. Silver Streaks seem more rare and bring another $100-200 above that. If you look on eBay, it seem like the Blue Streaks bring ~$150-250 depending on condition and whether they need seals/parts. Take care of them, store 1-2 pumps of air in the chamber,"cocked' and they will last a lifetime of pure shooting simplicity and fun. The $75 one went to Nevada for a re-seal which ran about $50 so expect to likely have $100-$200 into any Blue Streak that looks nice and has good seals. The 1983 model appeared unfired and looked like new. I paid between $75 and $125 for all of them. I believe they (4) have all been manufactured between 19. For whatever reason, I have found more Blue Streaks than anything else (other than old Daisys and Crosmans, which I am not as interested in), which is fine with me.
They were quick to let me know that theirs were just a little better than mine!!!įast forward to today and I have been picking up old school pellet guns for the grandsons hoping I can turn them into lifelong shooters and hunters. 20 caliber just seemed to hit with a little more power and speed. Mine was plenty effective and perhaps more "svelte" if you want to call it that, but theirs at. 22 Benjamin as a kid growing up (still do!) and my two cousins both had Sheridan Silver Streaks.
