Sheridan manufactured the Model C Streaks for 27 years before being bought out by the Benjamin Air Rifle company in 1976 and ending the original run of Sheridan produce Streaks. The Model C Silver and Blue Streaks are the pellet rifles that Sheridan is primarily known for, since the Model A's and B's are relatively scarce. ![]() This is the model that ushered Sheridan Products Inc. Its MSRP at introduction was $19.95 and was selling for $23.95 by 1950. ![]() This philosophy gave rise to the last Sheridan model, the Model C 'Streak' introduced in 1949. It was quickly realized that for the company to survive, a much cheaper to produce model must be designed. Apparently the price point of the Model B was still too high, and sales continue to be slow on both rifles, which was of great concern to the newly formed Sheridan Company. ![]() Designed to be less expensive than the Model A, it had a MSRP of $35 when introduced. Within a year, it was decided that a cheaper model was needed, and in 1948 the Model B 'Sporter' was born. Unfortunately its high cost (MSRP $56.50), translated to very slow sales. ![]() The Sheridan Model A 'Super Grade' was introduced in 1947 and is considered one of the finest Air rifles ever produced.
