Rifle back from threading. My Anschutz 1415/1416 22LR
Bolt de-cocks on closing the bolt, like the trigger is held down.
Trigger is on a very funny angle.......
Has he done what I think he's done?

Twisted action?
I had a bit of trouble taking it to bits. I think the triggers been hit in the lathe.Quote:

That's pretty rough:wtfsmilie:
A quick functions test when all reassembled would have shown this fault up. Not flash at all.
Will give a total free pass, depending upon the response. Everyone makes mistakes.

If the barrel was shortened the totally exposed trigger will be very close to the left hand end of the head stock
Might have been inside a guard or close to belts etc
Even turning it over by hand to change the gears would bend it from the fly wheel effect if it wasn't clear to turn
Bugger
@Tussock they might have removed the trigger mechanism and re fitted it wrongly or cross threaded
Sadly no. Pulled her apart again and it's just the trigger, and whatever it was pinned to.Quote:

What's the chances of finding an Anschutz trigger?

Not your problem , I would think it would be there's. Not good at all.
Not my problem and I'm confident he will sort it.Quote:

I have the same rifle and have obtained parts (not a trigger I have to say) from Tracy Dick at Dead Eye Dicks, I have had excellent service.
This model was supplied with a variety of triggers, all good, the more sophisticated ones are sublime. If you do indeed need a new trigger it would pay to do some homework on the various trigger options and you might like your Annie even more . . . .
This is the reason I'm not really upset.Quote:

A big hammer the other way will fix it, or a press?
Only the physical damageQuote:

More reading indicates there are just two Anschutz actions. The 54 and the 64.
I have a 64 and trigger options are extensive.

If you can get 5098 trigger for it. Simply the best, would rate with any of the top line (Bix'nandy, Triggertech etc) Rem 700 type triggers.
You can and I had already worked out that was the one I was after.Quote:

If you cant get one from NZ, Nordic Markman in Canada has lots, use the search function, but not cheap,

So took it in today.
He started saying it wasn't bent before he actually looked at it. This is an Anschutz 1415/1416 and the trigger is on an angle to the point it's hard against the trigger apeteur in the bottom metal, as you can see in the photos. He was talking fast and said "these things are not bedded" implying it's the action not true in the bedding.
I left the trigger with him and he complained I had not originally sent the bolt with it so he had not been able to test it. Glad I didn't.
I came back after a bit and he said it was sorted and that it was the sear.
Now I actually expected this response. Because the obvious thing to do was adjust it until it worked.
This was a beautiful trigger and it was adjusted to its safe limit, which on these things is a very light trigger. I really like triggers. I've had 6 ounce triggers. Most of mine are around 1lb.
So my delicate trigger which was adjusted to be very light got smacked on one side and now it won't work, because it's a delicate piece of precision engineering.
Or his version, that it somehow adjusted it's self between the last time I used it and now, and that the trigger was always on an angle touching on one side. Because Anschutz have worse quality control than Baikal and I just never noticed.
As we are going with his version, the answer is adjust it till it works. Which he did and handed back, without explanation. I took it and left.
Took it home and sure enough this trigger is now like pulling the handbrake on a car. It's got so much creep that I can start pulling the trigger, feel it move, stop, move it again, stop then move the trigger a third time and it will fire after a bit more creep. It's now a worse trigger than my factory 10/22. It's like my old $75 Chinese air rifle.
So I called him and told him and he started to explain how to adjust it. I thanked him and hung up, ending our relationship.
That out of the way, I rang the distributor, a well known gun store, looking for a trigger. I got told "send it to us, we will see if we can fix it". I said I just wanted a new trigger and got told firmly by someone who was clearly too busy "they are very expensive". I said I'm not intersted in sending it anywhere as its a hassle and got told to send it via gun city and they would see if they could fix it and ended the conversation. It was all one way.
Now this just means I'm sending my rifle to a gun store so Bubba on $17 an hour can fiddle with it as well as the "gunsmith" who bashed it. Usually this results in it coming back with part of the action filed away. These people who "know things about guns because they are in the industry" know less than me. I have my own files. Even a dremmel. So in NZ I'm a gunsmith too.
So rang the previous distributor. A gunsmith, possibly a real one. He impressed me immediately by saying "I wouldn't want a trigger that has been bent and straightened, it's a precision instrument". My sentiments exactly.
Next he said "those triggers are not that expensive" and reccomended I try get one through the Aussie distributor and to talk to Anschutz directly.
I'm going to talk to talk to Anschutz and find out what is available for my rifle.

What a circus, wouldn't go near the dude that stuffed it up again . Sounds promising this other fella at least he seems to have some clues. Hope he gets it sorted for you no good as it is.
