Anshutz 53.30 question

[kawsam62s]

How do you remove the barrel?
It is pined in from under the receiver into a blind hole(pin has to come out the way it went in) .
Thx for the help!

 

[Dusty Stevens]

Drill the pin

 

[Tim Slater]

Aren't 54.30 barrels threaded? Match 54 (14xx, 16xx, 17xx, 18xx, and 19xx) barrels are pinned. Diagrams of the 54.30 tenon show a relief slot for a set screw, but that's not a pin.

Give Anschutz North America a call.

As Tim Slater says, Anschutz 54.30 barrels are threaded.

I don't know what was the reasoning but what a PITA to deal with.

Unless I'm mistaken, the separate barrel face means Anschutz don't have to time the extractor slots. And it allowed Anschutz to say their new 54.30 has a chamber like a Bleiker.

very unlikely they would say it is similar to another manufacture's barrel. the floating breech means you could in theory swap barrels around and not have to worry about extractor timing.

Lee,

They may nor say it out loud, but I believevthere were hints. Bleiker may have no presence on the US BR World, but elsewhere have been pretty successful.

I suspect Anschutz gave very little thought to rebarreling. It's nowhere near as common in Europe as in the US.

You're right that Anschutz wouldn't specifically say that it's like a Bleiker. Shooters, however, can easily see that it is, and perhaps that's more relevant.

Like the Vudoo repeaters the Bleiker are intended for another world of shooting since your referenced BR if they could shoot as good as you say in the eyes of a RFBR shooter someone would be shooting one. the new Patterson Spec rifles are based priced at $7500 I believe, and all are sold before they have even been produced there are shooters willing to pay for a good shooting rifle.

my pointing out that Anschutz would never say they did something like a competitor has done is simple fact. what you stated(suspect) would be like Porche saying they built a car like a Ferrari design.

Relevant or not that was not what was stated. what is the point? shooters would be fooled in thinking it is like a Bleiker so it will shoot like one.

Lee,

That's precisely my point: Bleikers do well in their niche. Really competitive BR shooting is a niche too. Perhaps look at the broader context.

Anschutz developed the 54.30 to win back their market share from Walther, from Bleiker, from FWB, and from Gruing. The changes made were in response to these rifles, not to Turbo or Stiller. That market was never really open to them.

Out of interest does anyone know what rifles are popular amongst European BR shooters?

Pedro would know, but i don't know if he comes over to this board

 

[redrockranger]

Seems i've read that Blieker uses Lilja barrels .

You sound irascible. You know perfectly well that Tim understands these rifles. If you chose to appreciate what was implied rather than what's literal, there wouldn't be occasion for disagreeableness.

 

[dutch14]

Tim you are from the uk would you like to tell us which are the most popular br rifles there. Anschutz has a following in the rfbr crowd here in the U.S.

I am from the UK, but I'm afraid I don't have a clue about the UK unlimited BR scene. I don't know if it's even still going. This may be a regional thing. Our NSRA Benchrest is more F-SBR from a bench; the rifle must be held, and not shot free recoil. Anschutz dominate at the matches I've seen.

At this past World RF championships, he was shooting a rifle from Tony Harper, I believe it was a Turbo not sure if it was a Calfee built or Tony built it.

hardly, but you do need to read more carefully. I appreciate nothing that was implied, as it was plainly stated.
go read post 7 again the statement made was-
And it allowed Anschutz to say their new 54.30 has a chamber like a Bleiker.
