Sheridan Products Incorporated was formed to produce Pneumatic Air Rifles with production beginning in March 1947. The name Sheridan was reputedly in honour of the Civil War's General Philip Sheridan. Sheridan made their Model C (Streak) pneumatic air rifles from 1949 to 1976 when the Company was bought by the Benjamin Air Rifle company. Benjamin continued to make Sheridan Model C air rifles re-naming them the ‘C Series’ in 1977.
