Re: Anschutz Sight Riser

Don't recall exactly how much, 7 or 8mm, but I made a riser for mine to go from 50 to 200 yds without adjusting the sight.

Lowering the front, like a LR rifle, is a better option. Keeps the cheek piece adjustment the same.

Re: Is it likely that a .32 S&W long wadcutter can be reloaded on a progressive?

Hornady progressive, small measure insert. N-310, 2.05 gr. ... Bear Creek HBWC, in 32 HR. Weighed a bunch, looked just fine to me.

Bigger thing is a proper expander.

Re: Wtb Anschutz 2013

I've got a 2013 bbl action and 2 stocks. One a 2213 cast aluminum, and the other the walnut thumbhole with a stepped forearm. At some point all need to go to finance a Grunig... or ... for no other reason they're cool ... Considering I'm not currently shooting because of health issues... and basical...

Re: dimensions of plastic inserts for 18mm front sight?

Yeah, might not scale by subtracting 4mm. Hence, 'reference'.

Re: dimensions of M18 plastic inserts?

My FWB air rifle has a stepped insert. It's a 22mm, but for reference the diameters are .708/.782 ... 18/19.8mm.

Re: Kimber 82 Government in Excellent Condition

There's CMP rifles, and commercial models. Not sure, but I 'think' maybe the CMP rifles had Birch stocks?

They're otherwise nicely finished 'standard rifles'. Nowhere near as refined as an Anschutz ... but most of us aren't worthy of better anyway.

Re: Fwb corkscrew barrel

The twist of the barrel is faster than the rifling. So centripetal force results in the pellet being out of round ...

No doubt they calculated it for 10M as to minimize the points most likely lost.

Coriolis not likely a big issue ... but maybe 'Cornholio' ...

Re: I need an Anschutz Cheek Piece Holder for 1800 Series Stock

Looks like the same piece on my 1411. Mine has a pocket with '1733' cast in on the back side.

Considering it's a die casting, which tend to be brittle, seems a not bad idea to make a couple ... someday.

Re: Which Globe

My 2013 is .437, grooved barrel.

1411 is .455.

FWB is .459.

Of course whatever corner radius is on them distorts the actual dimension.

Re: difference between 10 click and 20 click Anschutz sights

Something rattling around stirring up dust in the back of my brain suggests a 20 could be converted to a 10 by removing one of the detents. Generally spring loaded balls. Pull the knob, and cuss for hours trying to find one of the 2 balls that fell on the floor.

Re: difference between 10 click and 20 click Anschutz sights

Number of clicks doesn't mean much if the backlash in the screw/knobs exceeds 'X' number of clicks. General consensus being the (mostly) German made sights are metric threads... and not particularly repeatable in comparison to a 'Warner' with ground threads and lapped nuts ... But considering the MO...

Re: Stock differences: 2313 vs. 2018 ???

Possibly. I'm looking at a Gruenig ... but I think you've already found a stock ?

2313 cast aluminum, and a step forearm Free Rifle stock... but I'd need to move the 2013 barreled action as well.

I'm not broke. But ... I'm guessing somewhere up towards... 10k ...
