Hey guys.
Well I've got it sorted out and it's forever now stored in my puter archives. I am making a couple Anschutz 5018 trigger adapters for a 300M free rifle shooter in Japan. He's using a Nesika R action and his buddy has a Panda.
I'm whittling out a dozen of these little buggers as we speak actually.
This rifle uses an Anschutz 2013 free rifle stock. The "rub" came when it was time to shoehorn the R action in it. There wasn't a great deal of aluminum left and the bolt handle was in the wrong location. Nothing carbon fiber and a TIG welder didn't fix. I whittled up casting "dies" of the barrel and the receiver and made a core to the stock with it. labor intensive since back then I was limited to a 1947 production date Bridgeport J head mill. I got pretty snappy at moving belts around!
Accuracy. It's a 6mmBR set up for 105's so making it shoot well went pretty easily. I don't recall the exact group size but at 300 yards with optics and off bags I was pounding the X ring on a 50m pistol bullseye target without much difficulty. This was at Raton, NM on the Tubb Range. We used a Kreiger barrel and the contour matches the Grunig/Elmiger FT 300 CISM rifle. The front sight band is off a G/E FT300 actually. The rear sight is an Anschutz 7000 series.
I never got a complaint from the customer so he either loved it or hated it so much that he never wanted to speak to me again. The paint was done by a buddy with a booth. I think he huffs reducer right before I turn him loose cause all his paint jobs come out as an off the wall candy/pearl/clear concoction. I think I get the leftovers from what ever cars/bikes he's working on that week.
Thanks for the interest.
