Many thanks to those who created a collector's forum.

I picked up a battered Anshcutz 335 at the weekend. No bluing and bleached stock but with an Anschutz diopter rearsight. It shoots very well. I know some users of airgunbbs use these rifles so can anyone advise me where spares can be obtained from? Are there any difficulties with stripping 335's? Does the ABT safety cause any stripping problems? Any advice would be gratefully received. Mine has the sliding latch which according to The Airgun Book makes it pre-1979. John Walter is critical of this latch but I have found it very easy to use and the gun locks up very snugly.
