I found a picture of this rifle a M52 .The stock looks really well done and the rifle is from the early 1950's.My question is who made the stock. Is it an Eric Johnson or a Freeland, anybody see something like it.

Really interesting. But this special serial number starting with 1813 could be pure chance. Rifles form that time have six digit numbers in that number range and that X after the number. Lets put all together. The old text, the X number, the barrel with the dovetails are speaking for an (late) 1613...

Frank my mistake it is 6 digit 18133xX

thanks

Hi fast996, your Anni is really interesting because one theory or better to say rumor says, the X number stand for a slotted bold and X number were only used for the 16XX series. As i saw your pictures first, i thought, it must be an 1613 because of the X number and the dovetail blocks on the barre...

That looks to be an 18xx bolt. You cannot see the bottom of the firing pin. The final thing to check, when you take the action out of the stock look carefully at the frame of the trigger. Usually on the side of the rear mounting lug you will see either a '71' or '18' stamped into the metal. If it s...

LOL I saw that when I picked it up.....These big retailers they don't know anything about some of the rifles they sell. Better for us.

i went and picked up the rifle today and it is a very clean rifle .It came with all the accessories ,sights front and rear,palm rest,rear hook assembly and other parts. A complete rifle I was able to purchase it for $1400 so it was not a bad deal.Bore is bright with a clean bore no pits looked at it...

I found another post regarding a LeftHand Rifle in which the owner was told it was a 1813 and it has a "IA" Barrel marking with a serial number of 177xxx X.It has a 690MM Barrel and the 1813 stock , see the image.The thread also stated that the 1613 series was made between 1974-1979 serial...

Thanks for the information .I've decided to purchase the rifle with LH models being a rare commodity in my travels. You mention Josef Zeller the only mention I can find on the internet is he is a gunsmith from Dortmund Germany and is a very good rifle maker. He specializes in custom drillings and ri...

OK the barrel code is "1A" marked right past the receiver on the right side.On the receiver it is marked "012345" along with "Anschutz" on the left side.The serial with the Ulm West Germany on the right side.It is a single shot rifle.

10 round magazine huh? Unless someone flips it over, takes the picture of the magazine well and posts it my first inclination is that someone is putting us on. Many things are possible if you put your mind to it but then I would have to ask, Why? From the looks of it this is a transition model 1413...

I can't find the weight of the 2013 action .Barreled action weighs 7.0 lbs does anybody no the weight of it alone.? Action only.

Even if you could use it, I would not recommend using the Gehmann or Centra rear magnifying iris. I am nearsighted also, I have always gotten a better sight picture with a prescription lens in my shooting glasses. If your shooting eye is a -2.00 you probably find that a lens of -1.50 or -1.25 works...

"If you are not shooting to ISSF rules than the combined iris/optic can work. It magnifies the sight picture, and you can alter the focus. Making the target larger would help for short-sightenedness. " [/size] Ok thank you that's what I needed to know .I have no astigmatism so the 1.5x ma...

I have recently purchased a Hammerli 461 diopter sight and need help with Iris selection.My eyesight is shortsighted (Myopic) with my left eye -2.0 and right eye -2.25.I don't want to wear my prescription glasses or get shooting glasses if I can help it. I am a left handed shooter who is left eye do...
