Looking for Anschutz 54 S/N 128028

[300meter]

Looking for a rifle I used to own. Anschutz 54 S/N 128028. Had a stainless steel barrel installed by Karl Kenyon and was in a 1413 Free Rifle stock. Maybe different today.

FINDERS FEE $250 for contact with the current owner. Start Looking!!!

was it a 14 or 16 series action. If it was a 16 i might know where it is.

With that S/N it's a 14xx from about 1974. The first 16xx rifles seem to have been made in '77.

ok i didnt know.

This is a 14 series action with the straight bolt handle. Original purchase date is '76 or '77.

It was an honest mistake. A 1970s 14xx barrel and a 16xx barrel would both be marked Match 54. Anschutz serial numbers run consecutively enough that you can estimate the year of manufacture with a little practise.
