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 looked at the jpg list and it does not seem to list recent models like the 1600 series match rifles, 1900 series match rifles, 2000 series match rifles, Precise models, 54 msr, fortner, 1700 series sporters, air rifles like the 2001, 2002, 2002CA, 8002, 9003, 9003S2, 9003 Precise, 64s like the mpr, 64msr and others. I imagine since these are readily available, they would be important to list.

Terry,

We are working on it. The thought was that we should get something published ASAP and starting with the old stuff made sense because that is usually the hardest to find and the info in the memories of old farts will disappear as we die.

The modern and current information is almost a no brainer because it is available from recent or current catalogs and the memories of young guys, but it will soon be added to the list.

Please bear in mind that the list will never be finished because there will always be something new coming out.

Thanks for your interest.

Mike

P.S. Is the list providing usefull information or are we just spinning our wheels?

Do a search here..........there are several threads on this subject. Also look on the barrel where it attaches to the receiver on the left side. In between the proof marks there should be two numbers.........that is the date. This sort of dating seems to have started in 1962. Earlier than that it is by guess. my first 54 was without a date.

They started at A=0, and the X on the serial number means you better hope you do not need a new firing pin for it! What it actually means is that it is a 16xx or transitional model, for which Anschutz have limited parts for the bolt which changed at that time from the wing to the side safety. There have been a couple of threads lately about this issue.

I went on the Anschutz site and found this:
Question:
Does ANSCHÜTZ give information on the production year of firearms?

Answer:
We need a lot of time to determine the age of a firearm with the help of the serial number. This is the reason why we only give this information to authorities or for a fee. However, every firearm owner can determine the approximate age of his gun with the help of the proof house stamp on the barrel of our firearms. The production years mentioned below are only approximate values and only mirror the common procedure representative for the referring period. Exeptions are possible. It might therefore be that even after the year 1968 there is only the production year imprinted on the barrel but no code.

Various proof test stamps (approximate year)

Up to approx. 1958 only the proof test stamp and the kind of ammunition was imprinted on the barrel.

From approx. 1958 to approx. 1968 apart from the proof test stamp also the last two digits of the referring year were imprinted on the barrel.

Since approx. 1968 the year of manufacture is coded. The code for determining the age is as follows:
0=A; 1=B; 2=C; 3=D, 4=E; 5=F; 6=G; 7=H; 8=I/J; 9=K
The year of proof testing is described by the last two digits of a year, i. e. that a firearm with the letters AF was officially proof tested in the year 2005 (05).

If you nevertheless need our help to determine the age of your ANSCHÜTZ rifle or pistol we will render this information for a fee. Please fill in the form below for this purpose.

Age of LaserPower rifles
Since the end of 2006 the installation date (date of assembly of the LaserPower rifle) is marked on the stock mentioning the month and the year.
Hope this info helps with the nonstuck sticky! and it makes my Match 54 born in 1978.
Thanks for ya'lls help

Part of the confusion on the model numbers seems to also come from the fact that you can buy almost any action and put it in almost any stock. I just bought a 1907 round match action which has the lighter barrel, as opposed to the 1913 which has the heavier match barrel. I put it into the BR-50 stock, so does that make it a BR-50? I also bought a 54.18 MSR, but I could have put a 1907 action into the same silhouette thumb hole stock. Don't know what that would be called.

Ok folks I need help, Brickyard is the administrator who can help me become a mod, which I need to become in order to make this a sticky, maybe it's time we start pm'ing and emailing him asking him for help. If folks want to contact him and let him know this is important to you that would be great. Without a mod for the site we cannot make this a sticky.

Thanks folks,
PM sent to Brickyard.
