Re: Anschutz 1427 Biathlon restoration

Spent 5 minutes transferring some buttstock spacers, a hand stop and a scope from another rifle, as well as a short Arca rail to ease initial bore sighthing with a bipod. Using a sling, the groups are good considering a shaky left hand and no cheek rest (yet). The white dot by my pinky is 10 points ...

Re: Anschutz 1427 Biathlon restoration

Re: Anschutz 1427 Biathlon restoration

Bolt completely disassembled, cleaned inside and out, and polished. Note that the two (black) extractors are of different design (one is an extractor and one is a cartridge retainer) and thus cannot be alternated. https://i.imgur.com/LbV2r7v.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/aNBEaGT.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/...

Re: Anschutz 1427 Biathlon restoration

Thanks again Tim, I highly appreciate that you take the time to provide much needed guidance. Perhaps this thread should be moved elsewhere in this forum than "Olympic Rifle - Air and Smallbore", and perhaps I chose the wrong forum to begin with ("A forum to talk about Olympic style s...

Re: Anschutz 1427 Biathlon restoration

Thank you, much appreciated. As the bolt does not have the open underside showing the firing pin, I believed it was an 1800 instead of a 1600 but was obviously mistaken. The end of the bolt, the black "ring", is different than other 1400-bolts I have seen online (so much for Google researc...
