Crosman 6500

[SnoValley]

Picked this Crosman 6500 up at an auction in Montana. These rifles are actually Anschutz 335 imported in the mid 80's and branded as Crosman.
The 335 was intended as a entry lever sporter and match gun and is mid power rated btwn 690-720fps in the Crosman owners manual.
It had a hooded front sight with inserts and was available with a peep rear sight. The trigger is an adjustable two stage that is very nice.
Leather seal on the piston. Cocks smoothly but has a solid thump followed by just little twang, needs a lube tune.
Anschutz barrels have a the reputation of being accurate and this rifle has a locking lever along the lines of the HW35.
When I got it the stock showed the usual scrapes and dings of an older gun and I just can't leave well enough alone.
I was given a front sight as it was missing, and refinished the stock. All the metal was perfect, no rust so the German blue is almost black.
Hope you like it.

Looks quite excellent. Interested in a range report.
