The barrel steel used by Anschutz is of the bestgrade especially selected for R ifle barrels. Such areof maximum weight which allow a balance of therifle which is very much in its favor and give suchfine accuracy never thought possible up to now.Each one has 8 Lands of the m ost exact sculpture andall standard .22 cartridges of any reliable make willgive good results.

Only well seasoned walnut will go into a stock fory ou r A nschu tz R ifle. S to ck len gth , S hape, C heekrestand the anatomic pistol grip are the result ofm any years of tests by prom inent Shooters. Particu-lar attention was given to different size of menas well as various shooting positions. All stocks ar~rubbed .dow.n and oiled but not polished. A polishedstock will slide too easy and a scratch will show upat once. A few drops of oil rubbed in from time totime is always a good idea.

However, it should be noted thattoo fine on adjustment will couse uncertainty of cooking and if reversed wilcouse drag and creep of the trigger.

ab le to obtain desire d eye-distance.

Peep sight discs may be had with variousapertures such as 1,1 and 1,2 m/m diam. Anyother size may be ordered special. The smallsize is recommended for strong light and thelarger one w hen less light is available.

For best results we recommend the No. 6702Anschutz Special M icrom eter Sight w ith scalepreferable to use in connection with the newINTER NATION AL S MALL B OR E Target.

Again we advise to clean out the barrel and swab dry beforestarting to shoot. After you are finished shooting clean out thebarrel of your Zimmerstutzen. W e supply with each Zimmer-stutzen a cleaning outfit consisting of

1 Cleaning Rod1 B rass Brush1 B ristle B rush1 Rod Tip

Remove as above the bolt and insert a wooden cleaning RodGuide No. 4401. The residues of the Zimmer ammo require a

brass brush for cleaning then follow with a patch to removewhatever there is still left in the barrel. Follow up with an oilsoaked patch. Never use steel brushes at any time.

The outside tube of the Zim merstutzen barrel never needs clean-ing as it has a slot underneath to allow escape for any residues.
