Reply With QuoteNot forgotten by me! Very nice rifles. And the Worcestershire Black Powder Supplies Marauder custom version from 1984 is a really classic classic 80s custom springer. Wish I had one.

I've had cause last couple of evenings to dust off my old Annie 335 rat gun permanently stationed at my mother's house to deal with occasional rat at her bird feeders. It saves me carting a gun around to hers.
It came flooding back to me what a little cracker these guns are. I bought this one off here cheap after previous owner changed leather piston head and siezed gun by oiling it. As per I changed over to the unmentionable synthetic material of the non stick variety and it's as sweet as you like. A few pellets re zero and I was soon putting pellets through same hole at the admittedly short range of twelve yards.
Firing action and feel was sweet and though these guns were no power houses their accuracy more than makes up for matters in my book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the mini shooting session a darn sight more than the rat who was given a lead sleeping tablet courtesy of Mr Anschutz.

I recently picked up a Bowkett tuned pre 1980s .22 thats sweet to shoot and doing 11+ ft/lbs. I got it from a local gun club that was changing all its guns to .177.

You can just make out the word Bowkett in this sticker.
The Ansch peep sight on the 335S (Target)
The Kassnar Beta 3 & Apel o/p on the scoped one.

The peep sight is the deluxe Williams one with adjustment knobs, the cheaper Williams model had screws for W & E adjustment, MAG used to sell these from Beeman USA .
Very nice, the Bowkett one is a dream

That is correct but the one fitted to the '335S (Target) was unique in that it didn't have the ability to adjust to different dove tail widths as most Williams/Beeman sports peep sights but a single grub screw at the front which went vertically down.
These are the normal ones and as you may be able to see they are adjustable for various width rails. The one on the 335S isn't.
The 335S one.
