What is the age of a Sheridan c series 5mm 20cal rifle serial number 370862
In 1977 The Benjamin Rifle company purchased Sheridan air gun company. In 1992 Crosman purchased Benjamin. So now Crosman owns both Benjamin and Sheridan.
Here is the link to all of the manuals for Sheridan and Benjamin. Crosman owns Sheridan and Benjamin See the link below.
The Benjamin or Sheridan pump rifle should never be pumped more than 8 times. See the link below for the owners manual (Crosman owns Benjamin and Sheridan air rifles)
Crosman owns both Sheridan and Benjamin. They have most of the manuals online. see the link below
Sheridan was very haphazard about numbering and naming there models. In 1977 Benjamin bought the Sheridan line of air guns later Crosman bought both Benjamin and Sheridan. Some models actually say Benjamin Sheridan on the rifle. Sheridan who had been around since 1945 finally started numbering their rifles in 1972.
Crosman owns Sheridan and Benjamin air rifles. They offer a ring base for the Sheridan it's part # B272 and clamps right on the barrel of Sheridan and Benjamin rifles and pistols. You can order them through Crosman, Airgunsofarizona or Pyramydair. They cost about $14.00
Yes. But it requires a special scope mount from Crosman. ( Crosman owns Benjamin and Sheridan ) ( see the link below )
I believe you are asking about a Sheridan .20 cal Silver Streak or Blue Streak. This model is still in production today. A brief history. Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were all separate companies at one time. In the 1990's Benjamin bought out Sheridan but continued to market the Sheridan .20mm air rifle. Benjamin made an Identical model called 932 (.22 cal) and model 937 (.177 cal). The .20 cal stayed with the Sheridan. Later Crosman bought out Benjamin, but has continued to make the Sheridan and Benjamin series. If you still want an old one then I suggest you try "Gunsamerica" online they occasionally get one, or Gunbrokers online. See the link below.
At one time Sheridan, Benjamin and Crosman were all separate companies. In the 1970's. Benjamin bought out Sheridan and took over the company. In the 1990's Crosman bought out Benjamin. Now Crosman owns all 3 companies. When Benjamin bought out Sheridan they decided to keep the C series design. So they decided to keep the Sheridan name on the .20 mm air rifle and put the Benjamin name on the .177 and .22 caliber 392 series air rifle that looks just like a Sheridan C Series. So All Sheridan C series are .20 caliber and the .177 and .22 are Benjamin's. Crosman decided that this worked well and kept the same arrangement for both models. If you go to the Crosman home page you will find (At the bottom of the page) a link to (Owners and Parts Manuals) there you will find the owners manual in the Benjamin / Sheridan section.
There are many versions of the C series Sheridan Let me explain: Sheridan made air rifles started in 1945 and made a few variations of the C series. Benjamin bought out Sheridan and continued to make the C series ( C9, CB, CBW CW ) From 1949 to 1990 it was marked Sheridan. In 1972 serial numbers were redone and started with #000000. Crosman bought out Benjamin (1992) and continued to make the C series Rifle (It's very popular) The rifle was made in .177, .20, .22 caliber. From 1998-2000 Crosman marketed the C series .177 and .22 Caliber as a Benjamin and the .20 Caliber as a Sheridan. I believe your rifle was made sometime after 1972 when the company was still owned by Benjamin. You may see a C9 Silver Streak or a C9 Blue streak. They are the current C series rifles Final note: at one point during the 1950's the rifle was marketed as a Benjamin Franklin as a marketing ploy. Benjamin Franklin had nothing to do with it. But his name got stuck on it anyway. Along the way the rifle has also been marketed as a Benjamin / Sheridan. ( You confused? so am I.) A rifle like this in good condition would be worth around $105 + or - $20
Benjamin (Owned by Crosman) has a new Benjamin Rogue it is a .357 caliber. At present it will be the largest Pellet rifle made with the Benjamin name. Yes it is a hunting rifle. The next largest Benjamin rifle is the Benjamin Marauder .25 caliber. Sam Yang make a 50 caliber and a 44 caliber hunting air rifle.
