1951 Vintage Sheridan Silver Streak Pellet Rifle Hold Down Safety Shoots & Pumps

Description

Up for auction here is a 1951 Sheridan Silver Streak that shoots, holds air etc. I used a Chronograph today (07-08-21) to measure the rifle's Feet Per Second (FPS) and here are the results:
5 Pumps  =  529  FPS
8 Pumps  =  612  FPS
The bolt does need to be pulled back and then pump the rifle, otherwise the valve will allow air to pass by it. This rifle has a replacement stock from a 1960-62 Sheridan thumb safety rifle. The trigger guard is attached by a rivet and a single screw and has a crescent butt stock. The forearm is attached with screws not roll pins as later versions came with. There were only 4777 of these produced.
Here's some general info:
• Tube stamped "SHERIDAN PRODUCTS INC. ---RACINE WIS--- on right side (1949 - 1951)
• Forearm attached with screws (1949 - 1951/52)
