Dry firing device
The length of the spring-supported firing pin
is adjusted so that it definitely ignites the
cartridges. If there is no cartridge or
cartridge case in the chamber, the firing pin
as well as the rim of the chamber may be
damaged when dryfiring for a longer
period. In order to prevent any possible
damage use either a cartridge case (after
about 5 practice shots insert a different
case) or preferably the training firing pin
1807T-12. With this device you can
practice under competition conditions
without having to use ammunition.
The procedure for changing the firing pin
is described in the chapter „To disassemble
and reassemble the bolt“.
Do not forget to exchange the training firing
pin for the original one for live firing.
Cleaning, Maintenance, Care,
Lubrication
Even after considerable use, your
ANSCHÜTZ small bore match rifle will not
require much attention - a tribute to its solid
design, first class materials, well proven
ANSCHÜTZ workmanship and precision.
If you follow the recommendations below,
you will help maintain the excellent
performance of your rifle for a long time.
Regular care after every shooting:
•Please only use resin and acid free oils.
•Use cleaning rod guide No. 4401 (Or-
der No. 710.6340) to remove any
residues from the barrel to avoid that dirt
or oil particles will penetrate the trigger
mechanism. Clean with a lint-free cloth or
pull cleaning cords several times through
the barrel from chamber to muzzle to
remove deposits. Subsequently pull a
slightly oiled, lint-free cloth or cleaning
cords through the barrel to avoid corro-
sion.
•Clean the bolt with a slightly oiled cloth.
•Make sure that the metal parts of your
rifle are protected against corrosion by a
slight oil film.
•Remove the oil film with a dry cloth or
cleaning cords before you shoot again.
Careful cleaning:
New rifles up to 10,000 shots in 1,000 shot
intervals, subsequently in 5,000 shot
intervals at least.
•Use oil to clean the barrel and push a
brass brush from the chamber to the
muzzle. Never move the brush back and
forth in the barrel. Only clean in shooting
direction. Remove the brush outside of the
muzzle and carefully pull the rod back
through the barrel.
•Then pull cleaning cords in dry condition
through the barrel until the last one shows
no considerable dirt.
•Before shooting the next time fire 5 shots
to get back to the former shooting per-
formance.
•Clean external parts with a slightly oiled
cloth.
Maintenance of the muzzle tube:
After every shooting session the residues
of powder and humidity have to be
removed from the muzzle tube as otherwise
