Sorry, but the Anschütz 275/276 have nothing to do with military nor with the earlier Haenel 33 / 33jr.
Anschütz developed her models 275/276 by it´s own and these models are no successor of the old Haenel 33 / 33jr. You ma call the Haenel 49, 49a and 310 as "successor" of the old Haenel 33 / 33 jr and they were also used "para-military" in the former GDR (DDR). But the Anschütz-products have nothing to do with this.
The only Anchütz-airgun with military "touch" is the very well known Anschütz Hakim (but they did not call it "Hakim", this name was given to it when they were "retired" and "reactivated" in civil use by the civil user) which was made for and develired to the Aegyt Army (yes, we all know this).

Herr Konig........this is all very interesting...What price in germany do the Haenel 33 rifles fetch/cost please, and are they easily found?..mit freundlichen Grüßen, Ed.

My guess is that someone tried to fire standard steel BBs in the rifle ... hence the jam.
Proper 4.4mm shot is needed.
Cheers, Phil

Hello,
difficult to say, depends on the number of offered specimen and the number of interested collectors and of course the condition. The "usual" prices are between 400 und 600 Euro (yes,indeed) for both models, but the Haenel 33 jr. is significantly more rare. When I begun collecting this kind of airguns I assumend that buying one is a very, very lucky case, but it is not. If you are willing to pay this prices I am sure you can buy one in 6 to 12 months. I assume that they are 1/2 dozend offerts a year. But at the last fairs I did not see any specimen. Of cause the absolute number of this airguns is very low, a very lot of them were destroyed and lost in and after war (looking similiar to a K98k - how bad, how awful). But surprisingly the number of Mars 115 seems to be significantly higher, they were offered much more often, but
maybe an explanation is that the Mars 115 was built also after 1945 in the later (and former ;-)) GDR for some years.
