[wiltshireairgun]

Hi all I've acquired a anschutz mod 335 .177 had nice open sights after bit of feedback on value , how they shoot and general year they wer made as don't seem to be much about them thanks in advance

What type of barrel catch does it have? Is it parallel (and forward) with the barrel (early type) http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...tml?sort=6&o=8 or upwards? http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...tml?sort=6&o=9Has it got the facility for a open back sight on the barrel? The target version, the 'S' type didn't have and came with a unique Williams/Anschutz sports peep sight.

As said,early models had a pull forward barrel release,latter had a push up type.
Early models were I believe under powered
Gunmark imported these eventually solely.
335s10mtr target low powered to reduce recoil.and peep sight.
Model 6800.
6706 model was too available.
Model 335 and a model 330 in177 only.
And a 333 were also available.
No 2 came out around 80 maybe 79.

Got a couple of these in both cals ,hoping to get to 're lube them one day.
Accurate as he'll .

And here's their advert in the August 1980 Airgun World, showing all the variants listed above. Nice air rifles, particularly those with the Walther style barrel lock which feels more intuitive to use to most. HTH
