What’s Included
- Sheridan Model C Silver Streak .20 caliber air rifle
Made in Racine, Wisconsin in 1964, this Silver Streak is the nickel-finished variant of Sheridan’s Model C. The receiver and barrel carry factory markings that read "SHERIDAN PRODUCTS, INC. RACINE, WIS. MADE IN U.S.A., SILVER STREAK 5m/m CAL."
It uses a variable-power multi-stroke pneumatic system with an under-barrel pump, allowing the shooter to tailor power by the number of strokes. The rifle is a single-shot design with a bolt-action breech and a round knob through-hole, feeding one .20 caliber pellet at a time.
Sighting is handled by a ramped, non-hooded front sight and an adjustable open rear sight with a stepped elevator. A rocker safety provides a positive, simple control layout.
The rifle wears an uncheckered walnut buttstock and matching walnut pump/forearm. A ribbed black polymer cover spans the breech and bolt area. The barrel measures 19 inches, and the nickel/silver finish completes the Silver Streak’s distinctive appearance.
