My dads uncle bought a used air gun from a guy a bar in Nevada for 5 dollars, it didn't look like the boys gun up the street, turns out it is a Sheridan A the Super Grade. after storing it for unc...he gave it to me in about 66

What a beautiful pistol. Thanks for sharing!

where can I find ammunition 5mm for these ?

Got my Blue Streak at Herb Phillipson's Army-Navy in Oneida, NY in march 1967. Still have it after sending it out for Steroid treatment about 5 years ago.

I have 2 Diana's not in working condition and can't find parts are you interested?

To compare to UMAREX BROWNING BUCK MARK URX - which one better?

That rifle looks really nice after you refinished it and cleaned it up. I don't have that model but I do have a B1 in .22 caliber. Mine is a bit rough too but it shoots well so I haven't done anything to it (except keep it lubed and screws tight). The front sight on mine is adjusted by tapping with a drift, and it works fine. But left and right adjustment is backwards from an adjustable rear sight. Tap the front sight left to shoot more to the right, and vice versa. I didn't realize that at first and was making the adjustment worse! Makes sense, I just wasn't thinking. Lol

Since a few Days I own a Diana Mod 27 from 1951. Good condition for this age, but I ll replace a new Pistonseal and a Barrelseal too I think. Maybe the spring too, I ll see. Thanks for the Video and the first impression of the work on this airrifle. Greetings from germany.

I have the B2, and that too shoots like a blunderbuss. The closest group I ever managed from twenty five yards was one in Canada and one in Tennessee. I did shoot 3, so I hope the iss is still functioning 😅 best wishes from the UK and keep up the good work .

Nice airgun video. Please be good friends connected. From t2bkk in Bangkok (I am Japanese living in Bangkok.)

Was lucky enough this weekend to pickup at a yard sale.. A Benjamin Franklin .177 air pistol and a Sheridan “Silver Streak” pellet rifle.. $50 bucks for both.

Much needed video for this model…….not much video information on this model out there……thanks

Interesting and rather strange nipple on the seal end of the piston any idea as to what purpose it serves, best I can come up with is that it helps center the piston seal , think I would grind it off and get Ian to make a seal without the nipple hole. This little gun has a great deal in common with the smaller diana junior airguns in fact many of the parts identical, it does make me wonder if there was a company out there making generic parts for several companies. Were these guns designed by on company and licensed out if so which company.

reconstituted leather tubing can be purchased from John Knibbs international, you just cut off the required amount and press into breech seal recess.

these guns were manufactured by FEG in Hungary sadly now defuncted. They made several break barrels looking much the same but in different sizes and underlevers on the Lincoln Jefferies pattern. They were sold to the west through companies like Relum and Telly and I assume Marla but never heard of Marla, these companies were set up to sell luxury goods to the west in order to provide the soviet union with hard currency. Back in the seventies I had a parts list for the gun in this video and like all it's stable mates it was twin springed. the spring you found in yours is not original the parts list show both springs and two spring guides a slim internal spring that ran up the inside of the inner spring from the cylinder end plug the second guide ran between the two springs inside the piston and was of a top hat design.pressed or rolled from shim steel. All these FEG airguns were hard to cock. Interestingly I have never found an FEG with the twin spring guides as described in the parts diagram. if anyone out there has one set up like that I would be pleased to hear. FEG eventually made their guns easier to cock and cheaper to make by doing away with the articulated cocking link and replacing with a pressed steel single piece affair. Spare parts can be purchased from Protec supplies in Sussex England Vic and Phil are very decent blokes and are happy to post and exchange bits if you have ordered wrongly, they have a parts list on their web site but if you cant see what you are looking for a quick chat on the phone might turn up trumps.

Millard Brothers [Milbro] were a Scots family business dealing in out door pursuits paraphernalia, every thing from tennis balls to bell tents, fishing gear and guns to bicycles.Stores run by family members opened in Ireland and various English and Scottish cities. From the earliest days Milbro and Diana were very tight business partners. And whilst I have no written evidence to support the theory I am convinced that the sale of Diana to milbro as war reparations was a fixed deal. My evidence being the fact that both the Brits and the Germans shared development of products right up to the early 1980's when the diana brand name returned to Germany and the Scottish factory closed it's doors.Of course the Webley and Scot mark three was the one prewar Diana gun that Millard Brothers did not produce in fact neither milbro or diana resumed construction of the prewar Lincoln Jefferies pattern air rifles but instead opted to introduce a new underlever the model 50.whilst still vaguely following the Lincoln pattern this was a classy fully stocked airgun and remained in production for many years going through several upgrades. to collect all the different versions in both calibers would constitute a good sized collection in it's own right.I have owned many of these rifles over the years. properly set up they are great bits of kit either for target shooting or small game. As for the model twenty seven I own several post world war one 27's though not the first airgun I shot it was the first airgun I spent any serious time with belonging to my school friend Doug we spent many a happy hour shooting cans and rats with it. In the thirties Diana gave the 27 a face lift more a complete redesign following Haenels lead with a half stock break barrel actioned gun but no thumb operated barrel latch instead going for what I believe to be the first true two stage trigger unit.a contentious statement as several other companies had tried their hands with limited success the best effort almost a cartridge affair fitted to the Lanes musketeer and produced by the Greener company patent number 9644 way ahead of its time. What ever the model 27 was produced in huge numbers and are a relatively easy gun to find in any of it's formats. The first patterns often turn up with attractive stocks in walnut or birch.must say I have a soft spot for them and there will always be a place for one in my favorites cabinet.Remember all you chaps out there making new seals or refurbing old ones Neats foot oil is the stuff to use, avoid mineral oils as they tend to burn and various seed oils tend to coagulate and become sticky. neats foot oil can be purchased at any good saddlers or horse supply shop.also remember if you have a lathe you can turn a seal out of boot sole leather clamp the leather between two small pieces of ply with a nut and bolt place in chuck and turn to the correct size, there are several methods to obtain the seals inner depression for the screw or bolt or indeed rivet. Also remember soaking leather in oil will cause it to swell enough to prevent insertion into the cylinder. one final thought never try to turn pre soaked leather in a lathe.

Hi, Do you ever use boiled linseed oil to protect the bluing from rust? I been having a recurring rust problem even with well oiled steel parts

I love the Black Ops Langley, it's so well made, good materials and it's very accurate. I modified mine a bit and gave it the look of a VSS Vintorez, even built a similar stock. To be honest, the trigger isn't good. You can adjust it with a screw but that doesn't make much difference. I hope I can find a replacement trigger that I can install. Does anyone know if there's a good trigger that I could install with a bit of tinkering? Mine has a good 11 joules of power out of the box.

Can you help someone with identification of a weird chinese rifle? It has NO markings.. if it had ANY it would be easy.

Really great video !!! Keep em comin please!

Whilst the Senior was beautifully made, it really needed trigger adjustment like the MK1 and Premier 😃

Thats a crosman msrk I or II isnt it?

Jawol sehr gute Idee 👍

Nice recovery! You do seem to know your way around airguns - can you recommend a source for Webley parts? I have an ancient Hurricane that I would love to return to reasonable condition. I've had it for more than 20 years, bought it at a gun show in used condition. VERY used, I thought it would make a nice project. Now that I'm retired, I'm slowly tackling my projects. Thanks for any info you might provide, and thanks for the video!! 👍

absolutely love your videos keep them coming would also love video on your watch collection

It looks like the same valve and seal as a 2240, it’s a $1.15 part from Crosman customer service

two Canucks in one week!👍

Thanks for the video, I learned a few things.

I have the same gun i got it brand new from Canadian tire when I was 10 or 13 years old and still have it and it still works good 👍 I'm 47 years old now i got 2 springs with my gun when I got it

В России сейчас много всякой пневматики, со всех стран мира, но Иж 38 заслуженно является любимцем. Каждый уважающий себя любитель пневматики обязательно имеет в своей коллекции эту винтовку. У меня несколько винтовок, но 38 самый любимый. Поздравляю с удачным приобретением.

When I was a kid the pop cans were made of thicker tin, and my dads old Jelly .22 would only penetrate one side, and make a bulge on the other. Then he bought me a Crossman pump, circa 1966 or so, and it went clean through.

Soaking that leather seal on motor oil is not a good idea should use non flamable oil besause of dieseling danger which could damage the gun or cause injury just a thought

Guy at the local flea market used to sell those, actually a quite accurate Air gun if you get the 22 caliber, not super quality but good enough for rabbit hunting and plinking, the sights are like the sights on an SKS and so is the safety, maybe they used them for troop training, don't know, but it seemed like the twist rate of the rifling was fast for a pellet gun

A little tip about cleaning the rust. I use 0000 brass wool to do the cleanup work like you did with the steel wool. the brass wool is less likely to scratch what bluing may be left

Have several of these, I do like them. Great video.

That speed puts it in firearm territory yes ?

Really great stuff!! Love the vintage restorations!!!

Been watching channels about refurbishing guns... one tip was to boil the metalparts in water (plugging the barrel first of course) to convert rust to black metal oxide before using a carding wheel or very fine steelwool on it. This way more of the blueing are preserved. I have not tried this method myself yet...

I got mine in March, 1961 for my 14th birthday. It cost £3. 15s. 0d (£3.75). It was a more more basic model than here in the video. It had a simple pillar front sight and there was no locking nut in the barrel/air cylinder. It was called the 618 'Boys Model'.

Excellent as always , i just purchased a slavia 631 model 77 lux good cosmetic condition. But feels a little tired there are some tune kits with a double spring have you ever worked on one of these? Thanks

These were great little air rifles, had one back in the 60’s, many hours of fun with lots of pellets.

Excellent. Thank you for this video. I’ve had this exact pistol in my collection for years but needs to be rebuilt. This will be greatly helpful.

your patience with those crap of guns is definitively to be rewarded

Do you know if the stock is same size as the Diana 25?

ماهو اسم المصنع وهل لديك ايميل المصنع أريد شراء كمية

love that airgun, the one i had back in the day came with the steel bolt but not a hammer and the shorter grip showing the metal. those seals, try washing it in alcohol or baristol and then relubing it, if that does not work , the part is stillavailable from crossman for the newer models . but you will end up spending as much as a new one costs a. suggest the 1322xl that comes stock with steel breach and rear sight. if you want such an airgun. personally , i am moving on to higher energy airguns. yes i did at one time make 200 feet accuracy with that pistol, but the energy is not what i would call usable for more than a squirrel. with a great headshot. i like the old ones that can be pumped more than 10 times, that one i had stopped filling the plenum at pump 26, haha but i would pump it to 35 pumps and shoot and have a second shot already in there when i cocked it;'s bolt. enjoy your hobby regardless.

Also had a stamp of à crossbow on the barrell flat

Hi Ad the same in the 60s. It was called a Telly,,.177 ,,loved it,,,

Thank's for a very interesting video, and those repairs... top notch! You surely got some skills!

I have a Diana 15 with the "Made in West Germany" marking. Got a few issues with a missing screw & nut and the latch locking does not seem as solid as supposed. It still shoot OK, but will be fixed when I come around to it. It's a nice hobby to pursuit now when retired...
