Assembly, fitting the
ANSCHÜTZ barreled action
The stock, the barreled action and the bolt
are packed separately for shipment and
need to be assembled. However, do not
do this until you have followed all the
procedures listed below.
•Wipe away excess oil from the barreled
action and the bolt.
•Cock the bolt by turning the guide bolt
and the bolt handle opposite to each
other.
•Insert the bolt by actuated trigger.
•Insert the barreled action into the barrel
channel in the stock and press both parts
together.
•Screw in bedding screws with enclosed
Allen wrench Model No. 4406 (Order
No. 710.6301). First slightly tighten all
screws. Then tighten the front screws and
subsequently the rear screws (in the
direction of the muzzle). For correct ad-
justments we recommend our torque
wrench model No. 4405 (Order No.
700.6180), which is to be adjusted to
5 Nm (= 50 cmkp) for wood stocks.
•Pull a cleaning patch through the barrel
from the chamber towards the muzzle
several times.
After assembly for the first time large
settlements of the stock wood may occur.
Consequently we suggest that you tighten
the screws once more in the manner
described after some time. Check the the
screws before every shooting.
Cocking, loading and safety
operation
•Degrease the bolt and the interior of the
barrel without leaving lint.
•Open the bolt and pull it back to the stop.
Carefully insert an approved cartridge
with the bullet forward with the thumb into
the chamber. Make sure that the bullet is
not damaged.
•Now push the bolt forward to close the
breech and ensure that the bolt handle is
pushed completely downwards to lock it.
The bolt is now locked and cocked.
•After firing, lift the bolt handle and pull
the bolt fully to the rear. This will cock
the bolt again and eject the empty case.
The safety is located on the left-hand side
of the receiver. It can be operated in
cocked position.
The rifle is:
•safe, when the „S“ (safe) is visible but the
„F“ (fire) is covered
•ready for shooting when the „F“ (fire) is
visible but the „S“ (safe) is covered.
Unloading
For safety reasons the rifle must immediately
be unloaded if you intend to stop shooting.
Unlock and open the bolt. This will eject
the cartridge. Please also see safety
instructions for the handling of rifles and
pistols.
