Which air rifle maker first came out with the design of a sliding compression tube and fixed barrel?
I think it may be Anschutz, but perhaps I am wrong.
🤔
I thought it was an oriental concept?
I was led to believe that Shanghai made copies, good ones mind, think I may have seen a fwb 300 made by them
Anschutz 220, patent applied for in April 1958.
I have an Anschutz 220 it's an interesting and quirky gun with its flip up,(Nylon)? loading channel inside the sliding breech.
Very interesting, chaps.
