    Anschutz Match 54 action screws

    Help please...

    I'm looking to replace the action screws on an Anschutz match 54 that I've just bought. The serial number is 151425X.

    I believe they are M6 metric fine. Also looking to replace the slot heads for allen heads. Any suggestions please as to exactly what they are and where I'm likely to source some...

    Thanks
    Simon

    Simon,

    Yes, M6 x .75. The .25mm difference from the standard thread means these are not easily found. I bought a set from J&P in the US a few years ago. I can't fault the quality, but customs dues doubled the cost.

    What stock do you want to put the barrel in? This will affect the length you needm

    Hi Tim

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm not sure what the stock is in terms of model number. It's a wooden stock with an adjustable cheek piece (also very short...). The action is round.

    It's currently fitted with screws that appear too long and are loaded with several washers each. When I measure the combined length of the washers on each screw and subtract from the length of the screws I'm looking to get one at 25mm and one at 45mm.

    Perhaps I should post some pics....job for the morning...

    Simon,

    From the serial number you have a 16xx series rifle made in 1978-ish. Assuming the stock is the original (likely but not certain) it's a shortened 1611 Prone or 1613 Supermatch. The 1607 ISU standard didn't have an adjustable cheek piece (unless retro -fitted), and the 1609/10 stocks were not common. If it's not the original, it could be almost anything.

    Last time I heard Intershoot were out of Match 54 bedding bolts, with no timescale for restocking. A clubmate is s
    due a matching set after seveal months..

    My answer was to buy a die and some bolt blanks and make my own. John F. ps google is your friend.

    Re tapping

    Thanks for the replies and useful information.

    If I'm struggling to replace I guess I could re tap the holes perhaps?

    Bedding bolts

    Just ordered bedding bolts from Ryan at Intershoot.

    Not all sizes are available but I'm informed it's no problem to buy oversize and grind or file to reduce the length.

    Thanks for the help guys..

    I have a local fastenings company that I'm sure will have the allen head in that size, I get various sizes from them including some odd size ones, for all my rifles, cutting them down to length is no problem, don't get stainless as you can get sticking issues with dissimilar metals, and stainless is also low torque, get 10.8 grade as minimum or 10.9 (very apt for shooters!), cost will be pennies.

    If you get stuck, email me and I'll see if I can sort some for you.

    Just checked and they don't stock them, they gave me "Spalding Fasteners" as a supplier likely to have them, I looked on their site and found them in hex head 6mm fine, all lengths in 10.9 grade, but I suspect a phone call would also find allen head. The cost looks little, but the site is confusing, if you can't find them I'd suggest giving them a call.
