    Question Anschutz 335

    Is there someone with a complete 335 willing to measure up and post here or PM me with the dimensions? That would be most helpful.

    Last evening I received an email from the Anschutz repair department with the accompanying information ;
    "The mod. 335 with the serial nr. was built in 1970."
    "The sight was built i think from camo. And seperatly buyed from them."


    What or who is camo? Any ideas, perhaps a misprint?

    I have come to the conclusion that the odds on finding an original front sight for the 335 are slightly longer than winning Lotto.
    With that in mind I need something else that will suit. Any suggestions??
    The local Antique Arms Association is having its annual show this coming Sunday and I am hopeful that I may find a suitable unit for the Anschutz there.
    Cheers.

    Sorry. Can't help with measurments. You mean 335 right? Not 355?

    What is your serial number?

    Perhaps they mean the sight was made by, and bought from, Gamo?

    Although if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the 335 sight looks more like one off a Norica.

    Yes, maybe. That thought occurred to me as well Geezer. I have asked for clarification from the person I am communicating with; he may also be hazarding a guess?

    I will look further on that suggestion Geezer.
    Do you have a reference model or image link?

    Question Urgent information sought

    I am having the dovetail defects welded.
    When the completed rifle is blued, am not wanting the repairs to show up like the proverbial dogs .
    Does anyone know the metal composition of the Anschutz receiver/air cylinder so the nearest correct wire can be used?
    I have sent Anschutz an email but at this point there hasn't been a response from them.

    What measurement do you require?

    I just reread my post; that is a good question Mick

    The centre height of the original front sight. Measured from the top or bottom of the barrel outer would do the trick.
    Cheers.

    An HW foresight can usually be adapted to a dovetail, either by machining it to make it wider or by shimming it with brass L section strip to narrow it in. The rear-sight on an Anschutz 335 is a lovely piece of work.

    Probably not so useful for your predicament, but my Mk1 335 has a Williams style rearsight, with a target foresight containing a post. I could take measurements, but do not have it to hand tonight. Could possibly do it tomorrow?

    Nice one tricky that should be ok.

    The 335 S has a solid breach block with no provision for the rear sight if that helps Mr slow to determine model.

    Real lovely, i have to agree and substantial too. Mine has the slide for elevation adjustment.

    That will be OK Trick. I am waiting on the weld job so there is no real urgency on that.

    Yes, thanks Mick. I have seen a couple of images of that variant on the Net

    Smile Butchered dovetail welded and reclaimed

    It has been a while
    The dovetails have been laser welded. I am well pleased and impressed with the work.
    Here are images in the before

    and after state.

    Now, after attention with a wetstone and some filing of the dovetail grooves.

    With just the smallest of imperfections showing they're a 100 miles from the condition it arrived in.
    You have got to love that micro welding; bugger all heat, no damage to the bore and a lot less rework.
