Anschutz 5018 Trigger vs 5071 Trigger

[swift220swift]

Does anybody have any pictures showing the difference between the 5018 and 5071 triggers. I understand that the primary difference is in the location of the firing pin engaging sear. Are there any other differences?

Did you try the parts list? Don't think that shows the detail you want, but ....

Yes, there are other differences. Apart from the catch, the obvious one is that 5018 triggers are marked 18 on the housing. 5071 triggers are not. 5018 triggers also have a sliding cam that allows coarse weight adjustment; this is visible, and accessible, though a hole in the housibg on the left hand side. 5071 triggers don't have the feature, at least the original production don't. Those 5071 trigers made as spares after the introductiin of the 5018 may,nif built from 5018 parts.

The other significant difference is that the 5071 has tapered pins in the assembly, while the 5018 has straight pins.

This may be of some consequence (IMO) if you need to rebuild/replace parts.

I believe that early versions of the 5018 used the same tapered pins as the 5071. I took apart a 1981-vintage 1807 on Wednesday, and that too had the pins secured with red epoxy, just like my old 1613.

Interesting......had several of the transition rifles (still have one 1613) with the 5071.

Haven't dealt with repairing an early 5018 variation with tapered pins but will watch for that, thanks.

Could you pull those triggers out of those guns and take some side-by-side pictures that show the difference in sear location?
