The action should be older than 1996 if it's an 1813. The 1813 was superceded by the 1913 in 1987. It's possible to put an 1813 barrel in a 1913 receiver, but I think this is highly unlikely. The proof marks on the left hand side of the barrrl, just ahead of the receiver. You're looking for two small letters; the first should be an I, for 8.

Robin, there should be a delete button next to the edit button. You may have to hover the cursor over it.

Robin, you mean that you want one from a KK200 or 300 (or contemporary LG model) before they switched to Centra?

November! You're a mere beginner.

You aren't the only one.

An 18mm hi-end should fit any 18mm tunnel; it's only metal elements that are tricky, as not all tunnels have the slot at the top. The canting tunnel may be different; normally these are made forthe newer 19xx barrels, which have an 11mm dovetail at the muzzle. 14-1800 rifles (including those just marked Match 54) need a specific tunnel.

Not shooting a 500 decimal score then?

Yes, I have a 5.7 x 1.4mm M22 Hi-End. Since finding a glass iris last year it's surplus to requirements. £8 including postage.

Tim, I may have one, but I'll have to check. It will be a 1.4mm ring.

Do you mean this? http://forum.stirton.com/index.php/topic/6854-gehmann-compact-sight/

Doesn't Swing stand for Swenson and Ingram? George Swenson did work for Wilkes, and I'd heard based the Swing rearsight liberally on the Wilkes.

Hi, does anyone have a spare or unwanted offset spacer for a Gemini buttplate? This is the plate that sifts the butt further sideways.

Jamie, Please check your PMs. I need your addess to send a cheque. Tim

I have to say, normally a new (19xx) foresight is much taller than an old (14-18xx) foresight, so will sit much higher on an barrel, so you need a raiser under the rearsight.

I think that's the eBay chap. He done.... Romanes Eunt Domus anyone?

I'm not sure that Anschutz, Centre, or the other usual names make a 4mm block for a Match 54 barrel. You might be able to fit a 1913 4mm block with a little filing though. There is the chap on eBay that makes and sells custom blocks. Perhaps he would do a 4mm?

Jonty, the level is attached to a small collar; the lug that the inner tunnel locates on, is part of the level. This is how the elevation adjustment is not affected by cant, unlike John Kelly's original. Mine is usually a little high at 100, but the tunnel was made for a 45in sight radius, and for years I had a 39in.

It should do if the foresight block is screwed onto the barrel. I think the very old M54 barrels, where the foresight block was machined into the muzzle. are the same, but I can't remember off-hand. Anschutz changed the width and depth of the dovetail in the 1980s, so foresights can't be swapped between 19xx rifles and 18xx, 16xx, and 14xx rifles.

This is a long short, but does anyone have for sale one of John Kelly's single stage triggers for an Anschutz 1813, or know of someone else who does?

Oh that one. That was a proprietary design made by Barnett for their short lived smallbore rifle. I don't know if it was sold commercially as an accessory, and doubt it's been made since the 1940s. Anyway it took a special foresight (likely needing the small 9/16in Parker-Hale elements) with an angled base; your Anschutz 1413 won't fit without a custom made adaptor. Gehmann do make a sliding raiser block set, but I think these may be only for 1913 barrels/foresights with the shallow dovetail, rather than the deeper dovetail of the 1413. If you want quick distance changes, a stepped foresight base or flip-over foresight tunnel would be much easier to find.

Do you mean a two-step base? I bought mine from the NSRA shop a few years ago, cost was about a tenner.

Size? If it's Medium, and available, I'll take it.

What type (i.e. solid or topgrip) and size is the glove?

I think there is a Ural rifle (cheaper action) for sale on Guntrader at the mo.
