ermm little boys rifle eh!! well it's already had a new front sight and an ejector I made for it so I guess it's not that valuable anymore..but it certainly shoots accurately with the iron sights.
I don't use it much but it's a good rifle to have at hand for the odd fox or anything too big for my air rifles..and I like the safety feature of being able to de-cock it rather than a safety that might be in the wrong position..it.s just a quick pull to re-arm it and shoot. I would happily accept 150€ for it though as i could buy another 0.22 Rebel and blueprint that like i did the 0.177 rebel..
I will keep it as is for now as you suggest as im not likely to use it outside my 75 meter plot of land or a local rifle club..
Thanks again for the information..

oh and a list of parts would be a good idea, perhaps a gunsmith might like to post one...
Just wish i could attach some photos..

The so-called 'butter-knife' bolt version in my photo was only one example of the more usual ball-ended bolt. I'm afraid that as far as any spare parts are concerned it is a matter of finding another one for spare parts - Anschutz has no parts for many guns made in the 1960's. let alone from their initial post-war production. In the USA there are two people who might have things like firing pin springs, but as for anything else, you are on your own. My own Model 1409, made in 1967, now has no parts of any kind from Anschutz.

Don't be upset about it being called a 'boys rifle', it is not a disparaging title in Germany where gun laws were always very liberal before Hitler came to power. These little guns are MADE for youngsters to learn to shoot, hence their smaller than adult dimensions. I have a BSA Model 1/2 made in 1910 for a boy who died in 1917, and I'm not ashamed of it. You can see it at the bottom of the page here -

To post details of a list of parts, in any case, is of purley academic interest, since there are no parts, apart from those I mentioned above, to list. Just looked - Numrich only have the bolt body for the model three after yours.....

HYN.
