Anschutz Match 54 action screws

[Sundance]

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...

Intershoot sell them in various lengths, no problem.

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..

Brilliant...thanks

Hi .I got fed up of trawling web sites looking for 54 bolts and if you were lucky to find them they cost about £30 for original Anschutz.#
My answer was to buy a die and some bolt blanks and make my own. John F. ps google is your friend.
