Absolutely. I have two vintage Sheridan Bluestreaks Tim modified into his "steroid" guns, one new Benjamin in .22 caliber, and one of the last modern Sheridan rifles that I gave to my younger son.
All of these rifles exceed 20 ft lbs of energy. The Benjamin, shooting the 25.39 grain JSB Exact Monster, is my "big bore" back yard controller. It kills larger suburban pests with far more authority than the standard 14 grain or so .22 pellets. Way overkill for a "rat gun" at that level, but toned down with only five or six pumps and a standard weight 14 grain pellet it can do that too. The beauty of the old pump guns - variable power.
So, yeah, email Timmy Mac at MAC-1. Don't call him, if he answers at all he gets pretty irritable. He's a one man show, and if he's talking to you he's not working on guns. He'll answer your email. Last I talked to him (he called me...), he wasn't working on many pistols, but if you want it fixed (he won't be able to upgrade that pistol), it's worth asking. Oh, and I have asked him to "steroid" my old Sheridan pistol, but he does not make the parts necessary.
