    This one comes up from time to time on a PF group I'm in on Facebook. Apparently it's Luna Park, Copenhagen, in September 1967. I'm afraid they have no information about the air rifles! Whatever they were I assume they were low powered!

    Poor old Syd Barret on the left is cycling a bolt so they look like BB repeaters.
    Goes well with that pic of Ozzy and his Airsporter

    Who?????

    Sorry - couldn't resist.

    As the rifles have ramped foresights, I'd guess they are 275s.

    I can't explain, but I could see for miles that you wouldn't be fooled again, John.

    Great historic picture! Yes it is the Anschutz 275 rifle, the rifle-type of choice for fairground shooting in Europe: a very reliable workhorse, that can stand the beating of endless dry-firing after the 4.4mm BB clip is empty. Quite an expensive rifle too back in the dayz (still is btw). Mine is amazingly accurate at 6 metres, always wondered if/what they did to it at fairground stands to make it miss targets...
