Take a Crosman 2260 put a steel breech kit on it and rebrand it as a Sheridan If you are going to call it a Sheridan shouldn't it be a .20 cal? http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Sheridan_2260MB_CO2_Rifle/3409 _________________ Too many projects to list.   Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2014 7:13 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Well, you know putting the "Sheridan" name on it and adding a steel breech and nickel bolt handle is worth 3x the price of what 'Crosman' 2260s sold for a couple years back ($69.99 plus $40.00 breech plus $20 bolt handle/bolt= $199.99 !?!). Wow. _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

They still list the Crosman Heritage 2260 though. Maybe the Sheridan 2260 is an early April Fools joke from PA? _________________ Too many projects to list.   Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2014 8:06 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" More likely it is something built solely for a couple vendors- i.e. PA and maybe Dick's or such. Eventually, Crosman would typically release it for sale everywhere (assuming it proves to be sellable). _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

The Sheridan name is worth more effort than a steel breech kit installed on a 2260. Hell, I already have one of those.... Looking at the pictures again, they did fix a cosmetic issue. They extended the tube to fill up the stock. Image #7 is a good picture of it. http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Sheridan_2260MB_CO2_Rifle/3409# _________________ Too many projects to list.
