    Unknown Sheridan ID please

    I think this is a palmers rebuild, looks like it is satin nickel with the vertical ASA but I cant figure out what it is.

    Any ideas?

      I think it's a converted two based on feed port entry angle

        I think Ecapnation is correct , this feed was an aftermarket conversion for DF.

          I seem to recall a previously owned KP3 had a notch in the direct feed that was used with the aiming pin, this has no notch cut out.

            To respond:
            My assessment of a KP-3 was based on the length of the lower tube. The KP-2 both tubes are near the same length.

            As far as feeds go, there are two. they're both identical, and use the same feed hole placement and angle.
            The only difference is whether it's soldered on coming up from the bottom or down over the top.
            As I remember, Sheridan typically used the "Up from the bottom" style. The "Over the top" style was primarily used by PMI and sometimes notched for sighting.
            And since PMI did a lot of manufacturing for Sheriden back then, it's not surprising that they can be confused.
            Even VintageRex has them listed together ~ not separate.

                That feed neck was something sold aftermarket for people to modify Sheridan's to direct feed. A little flat spot supposed to face right or left on a center feed Sheridan conversion but someone probably Palmers early on soldered that to the right hand hole of a kp2 feed. Giving you that little awkward bottom flat spot.

                  Definitely an after market feedneck 👍
