My Sheridan 2260 Rant

I haven't posted in quite a while and should I really post a Rant after my long absence? Well, it's my Blog so I guess I can ;)
Let the Rant begin;
I follow Pyramid Air on Facebook and saw they have a new air gun for sale. It's a Sheridan!!!! No wait it is a Crosman 2260 Heritage rebranded as a Sheridan. :(  I have to give PA credit they didn't try to hide the fact that it's just a 2260 with a steel breech kit installed, they came right out and admitted it.
If Crosman is going to try to keep the Sheridan brand alive they could put a little more effort into it. Hell I have a 2260 with a steel breech kit installed sitting in my basement.... So anyone can build a Sheridan? They did put a shiny silver bolt in the steel breech and they added a new plug behind the hammer spring that fills up the repurposed Disco stock better than the one on the 2260 Heritage. (read that last sentence with a sarcastic tone)
They could have at least put a .20 cal barrel on it to make it something special and deserving of the Sheridan name.
End of Rant.

On a more positive note, my little Blog has passed 10,000 views :) A big thanks to everyone!
Spring is on it's way and work is settling down (sort of) so I'm hoping to get back to a couple projects.
