Anschutz Models ---Sticky---- Mods??? Can We Sticky This??

Hello folks, I am trying to compile information on the Anschutz line of rifles so we can turn it into a sticky. Please if you have information to ad post it, and I will copy and paste it into this post so its stays at the top and makes it easy for folks to find. If you need to be recognized as the author please indicate that and I will make sure you get the recognition.

We still need information on triggers, sights, and any other holes you see that need filling please do so.

I will continue to update this first post as information is added

Folks, if you don't mind kindly let us know if this list is helpful, as we would like to know if its worth maintaining and updating. Thanks

A BIG thank you goes to Prairiewalker! as the following spreadsheets were compiled and shared by him :t

This list has been updated. If you find information that is missing please compact Prairiewalker so he can include it in these charts as he is compiling this information for the sticky.













This link is a great starting point as it lists many of the models and their features.

Here is a quick guide to the Match 54 target-line numbers: copied from Tim Slater's Post

14XX - The rifle was made between 1954 and 1980. Rifles made 1954 -1976 have the wing safety bolt, and a straight handle. Rifles made from 1977-1980 have a trigger safety, and conical bolt cap, plus a redesigned trigger and firing pin. Serial numbers end in an X. Handles were straightb in '77-78, and curved in '79-'80. '77-'80 vintage rifles are often called 16xx, or Transition-models, or X-Barrels to differentiate them.

18xx - The rifle was made between 1980 and 1987. The action/bolt/trigger is very similar to the 16xx, but with enough differences that bolts/triggers are not interchangeable.

19XX - The rifle was made in 1987 or after. The action is the same as the 18xx (bar one miniscule change). The foresight mounting switched from a dovetail block to grooves cut directly into the muzzle (now a slightly larger diameter to suit). the 1907 has a slightly shorter and lighter barrel than the 1913. The 1907 can also be found as a repeater, although extremely rare

XX13 - AKA The Supermatch. This is Anschutz's top of the line Olympic Free Rifle. It has a walnut thumbhole stock. The butt is adjustable for LOP via a thumbscrew, and height, and offset/cant after the late '60s. Post '73 the cheekpice has been adjustable. Barrel is 69cm long and about 24mm diameter.

XX11 - The Prone rifle, Made 1954 to about 2000. This had a broad, straight fore-end. It has the same heavy 69cm barrel as the XX13.

XX07 - 1954-1964- A Lightweight 9lb rifle.
1968?- Present - The UIT Standard, an 11lb rifle in a basic 3-P stock. The barrel is 66cm/26in and lighter than the XX11/XX13. The fore-end is deeper than the XX11 or XX13. Most XX07 for-ends are flush with the triggerguard and then taper up.

XX10 - 197? -2000ish, a cheaper version of the XX13. It has the same barrel but a different stock. The stock is beech, and the fore-end tapers like an XX07.

XX09 - 1960s - A cheaper version of the 1413, without the LOP adjustment.
1970s-2000 an XX07 barrel in an XX10 stock.

XX08 - 1965-196? Anschutz's first UIT standard rifle, for reasons unknown the model number was changed to 1407.
1970s- Running Target rifle.

1912 - 1997-Present, a scaled down 1913 with a 1907 barrel to meet the 6.5kg weight limit for the ISSF Ladies Sport rifle rules.

I have read what has been posted so far even on the CIL Annie's of which I own one. Its a model 190 in a repeater model Its marked 1966 on the day of birth for it. Still shoots like a dream and is extremely accurate for a lower line rifle. I am only the 2nd owner of this gun and only paid $200.00 for it 4 years ago now. It still is in amazingly clean shape. I would like to learn as much as I can about it and its full History but do NOT know where to start. Its a single stage trigger but really light compared to some of my other rifles. Any knowledge at all I would be grateful to learn. Thank You for any replys. Barrie

Great thread. Glad I found it.

Brought back memories of my collegiate rifle team days back in the 80's. Shot 1413s in 3 & 4 positions. Lettered four years straight and still remember when I shot my first perfect score(s) in all 4 positions when I was a senior.

Could have bought a 1413 at an Oregon gun show back then and didn't. Still kicking myself for that.

Hello everyone, sorry if I am digging an old thread here, but sticky never gets old so I have an excuse to be pardoned.

Now coming to the point, I am from Pakistan and in the process of procuring an Anschutz (probably model 54), as they are really hard to come by here and this is going to be my first Anschutz so i request all you gurus to kindly help me out with the only 2 pictures i have in identifying and dating approximately the rifle. And it's worth and other traits such as accuracy etc.

Thanks

That is a model 54 and it looks like an early 1960's 1413 (but I can't be sure as the back end of the bolt is not clearly shown; if it is flat rather than domed it will be 1964 or earlier). The trigger is the 5039 set trigger, which in itself should make the rifle quite desirable, all other things being equal.

Below is a 1964 ad for a Anschutz 1413

I concur to both of you gurus, that the stock is almost certainly refinished and rather in a poor way. Thanks for your valuable inputs, this rifle is going to cost me around $1000 maybe less, let's see once i get pics that i am demanding only then will i start bargaining. My idea is to get between $800 to $900. Will be sharing any clearer pics that i get.

Thanks again you guys are amazing.

I traded a CMP H&R M12 to Mac Tilton for this Anschutz prone rifle around 2002 IIRC. I've always referred to it as a 1611, as it had the X suffix on the ser no. Someone had done a really excellent job of bedding the action with what looked like Devcon or MarineTex, it had a 2-stage trigger with very light break - my guess is 4oz. It came with a set of Anschutz irons, and shot good enough to clean the NRA 100yd smallbore target, even with my poor prone skills.

Wish I still had it...but three years ago, a good friend sent a link to a 2011 listed on GunBroker that was essentially NIB, with a set of Anschutz's best sights and several other accessories. I posted the minimum $1900 starting bid, and as the only bidder, got it for that price. So I sold my 1611 to another friend who needed a good .22RF prone trainer for what I felt was a fair price.

1400 series firing pins for the 54 action

This is to again show the two significant differences in 1400 series firing pins for the 54 action; the integral cocking indicator that was used for the older flat ended safety and then the domed wing safety with the extra cocking indicator with its spring that is inserted separately from the firing pin into the safety.



The one piece f.p. at the bottom is the one that was milled from one piece. There is a similiar f.p. with an integral safety tab that was drilled in front for the firing pin insert and in the rear for the safety tab and it appears that the parts were soldered in.

The difference is 3cm and about 300 grammes (1.2in and 10.5oz). The 1807, and it's predecessors (1607, 1407, and 1408) were built to a 5kg (11lb) maximum weight. Anschutz fitted a barrel 66cm long and 22mm diameter (26in X 7/8in) to meet this weight limit (with a bit in hand). Anschutz have made Match 54s with a lighter barrel from the get go, mostly for club shooters who wanted a lighter rifle, closer to the old wehrsportgewehr. These early 54 light barrels were roughly the same size as the later "ISU Standard" barrel, but not exactly so.

The regular heavy Match 54 barrel settled at 69cm long by 24mm diameter (27.2×15/16in) in the 1960s. Earlier Match 54 heavy barrels were longer at 28in, but tapered to the muzzle. Anschutz used the heavy barrel for their dedicated prone rifles (1411, 1611, 1811, and 1911) and the Olympic-style Free Rifle (mod 1413, 1613, 1813, 1913). The Olympic Free Rifle match had a more generous 8kg weight limit.

If you aren't used to target rifles, an 1807 barrel seems pretty heavy and it is. But many adult shooters prefer a heavier barrel, especially in prone, when the rules allow. The extra weight of the 69cm heavy barrel makes it more inert, and steadier. Remember position target shooters wear special clothing and use very ergonomic fitted stocks. Anschutz's heavy barrel is heavier than some; Walther settled on a 650x22mm barrel for all their match rifles in the '70s. But the Anschutz heavy isn't the heaviest by any means; BSA, Valmet, and the Russians fitted 29in barrels.

Hi Guys.

Can anyone help me with a model number on this rifle.
  • Eagle N proof mark but not date number or letters so 54 to 58 somewhere.
  • 64 action but not similar to what I have seen on the web. Looks older
  • Full length about 102cm/ 40in and barrel 55cm/ 21.5in.
  • Single stage trigger.

So far I am l leaning to the 1415 or 6.

I gonna say early 1416, as it has a walnut stock. A 1415 would have beech.
Could be later than the years you mentioned. Date numbers came later, and letter dates much later..

Procrates said, "Can anyone help me with a model number on this rifle."

The trigger looks identical to that of my Jr Varminter, however my trigger is two stage. I wonder if yours has been adjusted to act as a single stage??? The trigger cam is visible between the secondary lever and the action... just wondering.

@Camster @Penage Guy Thank you guys, just searching for the model number bought up newer catalogs this really helps.

@Chickenhater I will have a closer look. After penage guys comment I also found the thread below that talks a bit more about the trigger. Looks like there is some adjustability so will look into this.
