Thread: Bugger - Any bright ideas or she done

Hopefully no injuries? Metal fatigue. Cut your losses & bin it.

The Anschutz 520 has always been a problem gun and the zinc alloy receiver is just one of the problems. It is not repairable to an acceptable level and to use the appropriate German technological answer - Ist kaput! Now is your opportunity to go a buy a better semi-auto. Do not buy a barrel takedown model if you expect consistent accuracy.

Just saying, I'd make every effort to get it fixed. Destruction means it must be registered within 5 days, and all other arms items registered within 30 days.

Or as they say in the land of its origin rovinato
I've seen mention on American forums of guys attempting to machine up repairs. Not successful.

I didn't write the new legislation. Pretty sure a broken gun is still a gun.

If it was ‘destructed’ how would ‘they’ know it ever existed?
Just asking.

Because everybody is a law abiding citizen and would do what is required of them, no matter how silly, stupid, pointless, the rules and regulations are...

Grainy pot metal type alloy.
Yuck.

They don't/didn't. Made in Italy by Marrocchi (Marocchi?) and badged Anschutz.

In this case the receiver (or master part) is no longer - and is impossible to repair. The bolt probably still needs registration as a part?

Because photos were posted on a public forum... if someone cones asking pointed questions, things could get decidedly awkward.
