Anschutz Bolt handle (or complete bolt) from 1811/1813/1911/1913

[Itskeith]

Wanted: a bolt handle from a 1811/1813/1911/1913.

Please help me out!

Happy to accept it as a gift or pay for it 🙂

Many thanks.
Keith

PS. 
I think it's Anschutz part no. 1807-U2 i need. 
A complete bolt handle would be ideal and a bolt knob on the end of it would be a bonus.
Must be one lying around somewhere - wishful thinking!

Or consider a Complete Bolt from a 1811/1813/1911/1913.

Thank-you.

Complete bolt pressure Bari g part and numbered. FAC slot for spare. Don’t get caught out 

[Itskeith]

Just checking; are you saying I need a spare slot on my FAC for a bolt?

Yes, it's a pressure bearing part that needs to be listed on your FAC. It will have a different serial number. In some makes of rifle head space will need to be checked and perhaps adjusted. I have two CZ 457 MTRs. I could swap bolts, but the headspace will be different. Both rifles have headspace set for specific ammunition.

Thanks JCS and much appreciated - wasn't aware of that.

My understanding is that if you change/replace any of the bolt parts EXCEPT the bolt body which has part of the serial number on it that would not require a vacant FAC slot? 

Surely if you were to change the firing pin or its spring/s that would be a maintenance thing & could be done without any requirement for a vacant FAC slot?

Be grateful if any of the 'experts'could confirm/clarify my understanding.

Firing pin or spring no FAC. The pressure baring parts do

Thanks for clarifying

Bolt handle ... bump!

[Itskeith]

Still looking ... bump (a new one - just the handle sticky out bit is £130 + VAT from Anschutz) 🤣

What happened to the original one. They are not something you would normally lose. Or maybe they are.🤔

If you do find a replacement bolt handle, I’d suggest that you check the headspace once you’ve installed it. It’s the locking face on the bolt handle that governs the headspace, that is, the gap between the breech face and the end of the bolt. This can dramatically change the accuracy and even functionality of the rifle. I’ve seen club rifles where the bolt handles have been swapped, which resulted in one rifle where the firing pin was damaging the breech face, and its counterpart misfiring regularly.

Bruce raises a good point. In addition to that, Anschutz bolts are rear locking and all the lugs are in fact on that handle part, making it a pressure bearing part. While it could be considered an over-application of the law, I think they fall under controlled parts. There is even a proof mark on this particular handle.
