I have a MEC 1 stock with a Match 54 action. The action has an adapter plate but the bottom holes in the adapter are very very different to anything Ive seen. The receiver of the stock has had an extra slot machined in for the Anschutz bolt handle. This slot is about 30mm rearward of the original slot. I asked MEC about it twice and both times got no where. The stock receiver is too narrow for standard Anschutz adapter, so it seems it may have been originally for Walther, but just guessing. The adapter does seem to be a factory made part, could it be Walther to Annie, I dont know. I cant give dimensions, as I am 100 miles from where the rifle is stored. The holes in the adapter are not for Bleiker. I will take dimensions and photo when I next travel there.
Can Robin assist with hole dimension for a Walther square action?

I built up a pistol grip using 2 pack araldite, take your time and build up the amount you need. Looks good and far, far cheaper than a replacement pistol grip. You can even modify it further if you need to.

Does anyone know of a person or business that exports firearms to the U.S.A on behalf of customers?

Hi

Thanks Jonty

Tim, Or you could go one better and get an Andrew Tucker LARGE stand. Simpler operating system and built to Laaaast.
However, a word to the wise, for some reason, Tucker changed the thread on the adjustment bolt that you remove to replace it with the flexible adjuster.
I had an adjuster that fitted one stand but not another one. They are 5/16 UNC if memory serves me right, or some of them are!
Robin, keep an eye on eBay, they regularly come up on there.

Due to mobility issues, I have reluctantly decided to sell me right handed Bleiker Challenger set in a beautiful majestic Red coloured Gemini FR 703.
Briefly, the complete rifle set up consists, besides the two above items-
215 mm long Bleiker Tube (Medium sized length)
Bleiker Bore guide
Gold coloured bolt protector to compliment the gold coloured bolt.
Bleiker Hard carry Case
Gemini 100mm size pistol grip( Large) but I do have a spare pistol grip that can be altered to fit by a new owner.
Matching red Gemini Buttplate
Gemini Offset plate for the buttplate
Gemini long legged bipod
Anschutz 7002 Rear Sight
Gehmann iris with coloured lens
Grunig and Elmiger adapter for the rear sight to enable it to fit the Bleiker rear sight rail (Allows the sight to cant)
Anschutz trigger blade
Handstop, with sling loop, unsure of make, either Anschutz or Gehmann I think (Not the Anschutz one shown in the picture)
The condition of the rifle is excellent. It is exceptionally rare for one of these rifles to come on the open market, let alone one in the the condition it is in.
Please only contact me if you are genuinely interested and HAVE a space on your FAC, and I can provide more photographs and hopefully answer any questions you may have.
Collection by face to face transaction preferred. Located Jct 39 M1 West Yorkshire.
Thank you for your interest. Please send me a P.M in the first instance.
Price £3500.00 (Reduced Price)

Hi Mark,
Ive sent you a message.

Had you thought about 3D printing some, or someone doing it for you? I would have thought trying to get 3X cheekpieces would be a big ask.

Im sure Tim S will have the answer. I will measure mine next week when I go to the range.
Meanwhile, if you offer the rear sight up to the rifle vee you should be able to see why it wont go on. Does the wide part of the vee on the sight measure more than 11mm? It should do.
-
Thats strange. I use a Gehmann Lockable now but have used Anschutz 7002 among others previously, with no probs.
Can you upload a photo of the rail, also measure it across the top accurately and might as well measure the wide part of the vee on your rear sights.
There is plenty of advice on here how to 'reduce' your photo so it will fit on this site.

All Anschutz sights that fit the 19 series onwards will fit your rifle. The Anschutz 18 series and earlier foresights are a different size vee.

I dont know why people use Amazon.
Theyve tried to almost destroy all private shops.
A lot of these small businesses now however sell on Amazon but if you find their site, it is usually cheaper to buy direct and not give you money to these huge companies.

I suppose they were mainly used in the fantastic Tucker stands, where they are held in place in a Vee cradle with a large Jubilee clip. Also the Opticron simple basic stand.
With imagination, it is easy to clamp a camera mount block to the scope if need be.
These stands have been in use for many years and still operable, how many other scopes have that honour.
I recently bought a 2nd hand Opticron modern scope which had more fungus in it than the local mushroom farm. I had it serviced by Opticron, but they said it may come back. (Thats OK, I like mushrooms)
I have a x30 eyepiece in my bits box. I will never part with it. rarer than hens teeth.
You can also get sheepskin covers for the scopes which are excellent.

There are a number of different 'names' added to these scopes, among them, Opticron, Rhino, GreenKat, Anschutz et al. It seems they could just have their name placed on the scope as being their brand. They are a very reliable and easily operated scope that will go out to 100 yards maybe more. One of the best things is that you can dismantle and clean them yourself if you have a bit of aptitude.
Always fit the objective (large) lens in place after use to protect the threaded rim of the aluminium scope body.
There are a number of them for sale on eBay presently and all for more than this one. An excellent starter scope.

Yes, I thought that may be the case. Best use it best you can, or look and admire it and love it, and consider whether buying a rear site that probably costs more than what the rifle is worth is good economics.
It may be that one turns up at sometime and it would be nice if someone would lend you one as you asked for, so you could make your mind up.
Could I suggest some detective work with the club committee and members to ask why they have no rear sights? it could be someone has them for safe keeping.

Conversion plate Wather KK200 stock for Anschutz action
in Wanted

Ouch, I remember now, I think it was you Robin who a few months back mentioned that Walther action bolts were in a central line and NOT four of them in a rectangle. Silly me.
So my adapter on the Match 54 is not Walther Square to Annie Round. Frankly, I have no idea what my MEC stock was originally made for, but as I previously said, the adapter looks factory made, it is much narrower than an Anschutz adapter, id more of a flat plate about 20mm thick with a vee cut down the centre to stabilise the round action.
I will append some pictures in the New Year when I go back to civilisation.
Merry Christmas.
