Benjamin & Sheridan Repair Kit Reviews

Tool is exactly what I needed to rebuild the benjamin franklin model 137 pistol. Some of the included Sheridan rifle rebuild kit parts fit this pistol, but the exhaust valve and spring did not.Overall, the kit was a bonus I did not expect, so a good deal!

Nothing.

If you are new to air guns, these guys know their air guns and give excellent recomendations based on your specific needs.

Products matched their photo.

Better instructions

You get parts and a diagram. The rest is up to you. Sheridan are a pain to work on.

Revived my 75 blue streak, tool worked well.

Parts were what I needed

Possibly clearer images of the parts breakdown.

The removal tool works great. You really have to put the gun in a vise, and tighten more than you would think , to get the valve to seat enough to keep air from escaping. My 70s silver streak is as good as new.

Arrived pretty quickly considering I live in Canada. All parts were packaged very well. Pyramid is one of the only places to order this part and I really appreciate them. I also order most of my pellets from them as well. You get free tins of pellets if you order enough and the free pellets more than make up for the cost of shipping to Canada! Thanks guys!

You get directions, parts list and exploded view of the gun. Very helpful, because when the air chamber finally pulled loose I flung parts across the back porch, and wasn't sure what went where.

The copy of the parts list is a little blurry, the directions state to replace part number 30 so that the rubber is facing muzzle. Part number 30 is not a brass and rubber part. It's been replaced with a Teflon cork looking piece tapered on one end. Not sure how it was supposed to go. Took three reassembly attempts to get it right; well at least it pumps up so I assume it's right. There is an extra "O" ring and not sure where that was supposed to go. Why not all the pieces for the pressure chamber?

I was leery of trying to remove the very small screw that holds the bolt in place, I didn't have the right tool, and spent a lot of time maneuvering the small O ring around with some flat dental floss.
I figure if I can do it anybody should be able to.

Kit parts was able to take apart and replace the seals. The front teflon seal got rotated and was very difficult to get straight again. However I was able to rotate it back into position by pressing with bamboo skewer and later with steel rod. However to put everything together was very difficult. Finally , tried to put the end cap without the mainspring and mark the depth and position of end cap when the first thread engages on the tool and then try it again with all the parts installed and finally got it back together. In the end I was victorious and my 1993 Benjamin .177 lives again. P.S. pyramid air also has impeccable customer service and send me replacement parts since my bolt seal..that super tiny o ring, the new one got crushes in the bolt. I was to use the original seal until the new seal gets here.

Add the part to reassemble with better instructions, like "before reassemble everything, use only the pressure chamber end cap with the disassembly tool, rotate it backwarss until it clicks, mark this location on outside trigger housing barrel and the stem of the dissassembly tool with a pencil. This will aid in the reassembly to know how far to compress the spring and when the thread will engage. Now, reassemble everything and using the marks on the stem of the dissassembly tool and the outside of the trigger housing barrel..align everything and push hard down on the disassembly tool until the marks are aligned and level with each other. Then begin to screw the pressure chamber endcap tight. Reassemble everything else on the gun same way you took them off.

All in all, this job to rebuilt own gun is possible but definitely not for the faint of heart.

Rubber piston head in kit was not the same as my Benjamin 310 & 312. Parts/replacement... Air Venturi 10094182 Had to be ordered.

Kits for older Benjamins 310 & 312 models need to specify Parts/replacement... -
Air Venturi 10094182 rubber piston heads.

The fact this is still available is great! I bought it for a 1967 Sheridan Blue Streak with soldered valve. The price and the fact that it came with the ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TOOL were fantastic. In the end, it had what I needed and I rehabilitated my Dad's rifle that is older than I am. Blue Streak pumps hard and shoots great.

Well...I wish kit came with the brass + rubber check valve seal, as pictured. Kit I received had a white, plastic/delrin/??? disc that, upon initial installation, did not seal. I also wish it came with an OEM lead seal for the valve nut. The fact it is lead may be exactly why it doesn't. I wasn't a big fan of the plastic seal it came with and ended up re-using the original, 50+ year old lead seal.

YES. Several things. First, consider this a KIT of raw materials, rather than a drop-in, solve all your problems. Granted, my rifle was 50+ years old and there have been several iterations, but many parts were different dimensions than stock. Pump cup, probe o-ring and forward rubber valve o-ring were fine. Check valve was a solid plastic disc, which was too large OD. Check valve spring was longer and stiffer. Exhaust valve was longer than stock item. Tool was great. I'm not a machinist, but I am very mechanically inclined. It took me several assemblies/disassemblies to get these parts to work correctly. The NWAirgun videos on YouTube were HUGE in helping me diagnose what needed to change during this rebuild. Watch those first. If you don't understand the cutaway view, can't wrap your mind around how the rifle operates and/or don't have a good mechanical mind, you may be best sending your Sheridan off for service, rather than DIY. Still, I'd do it again if I needed to.

Easy to install with the tool.

Better instruction and clearer pictures. Orientation of components was hard to see.

Best price on the internet.

Good product easy to install.

Label all the parts.

None.

Exactly what I need to bring the Sheridan back to life. Had the part 2 days after i submitted my order.

The schematics and the tool sent.

Add the option for the bolt removal tool.

product exactly as described. Customer service was extremely helpful.

Price was pretty high for the product but it was exactly what I needed.

Love your customer service. You guys are top notch.

This kit is complete and easy to install.

Quick delivery with quality tool. Most of the replacement parts appear to be good quality parts.

The split teflon washer is useless. It actually inhibited the reassembly process due to it not seating correctly under the screw cap. I wrapped the cap threads with teflon tape instead and it worked better.

Watch youtube video if availableand also down load and print off addition parts explosions from the manufacturers web site. I used Vaseline to hold orings in place when installing parts.

Very fast shipping and the kit worked perfect to restore my old Sheridan built in 1966

Nothing

Fast service I sent a message asking if this would work on my Sheridan being so old and received answer fast
