G&E Racer (early version) vs 2018 ANZ

Looking for some direction on installing a Walther KK500 action into a G&E Racer (early version) vs 2018 ANZ Precise. Not really an accomplished small bore shooter (retired fun guy), so looking for some options on stock fit for a KK500 action. Is there a significant difference in the KK500 vs 2013 square action Anschutz?
Thanks in advance!

The only thing that the KK500 and the 2000 series Anschutz actions have in common is they are both flat bottom square actions. They do not share a common bolt pattern so installing a KK500 action in a G&E or Anschutz Precise stock would require some alteration to the stock or fabricating an adapter.

OK, understand.
I'll get the mill warmed up.
Thank you!

Call John Whidden/Whidden Gunworks.
He has fit the KK barreled action into the Precise stock.
Shouldn’t be an issue.

I am a huge fan of the idea!! I have been planning of doing the same thing for a couple of years now, and I would love to see how it turns out

I'll get a chance to try this concept out when I get back from my vacation end of the month. Looking forward to the various stock options. Now have an Esprit Carabine stock in the mix.
Will certainly give John Whidden a call for some direction. He really helped out on my Barnard P Palma project.

If you are not committed to one of the stocks that you have, the easy button is this

Esprit Carabine also sells a KK500 adapter.
