Anschutzfan Posted 20 October 2015 Share Posted 20 October 2015 Hi - does anyone have an Anschutz fitting - (for block mounted foresights) 4mm front sight riser block for sale. I need one to align a newer design sight on an older rifle, its shooting too high at the moment and apparently a 4mm block is the fix for the problem. Thanks and regards Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 20 October 2015 Share Posted 20 October 2015 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?

Huey Posted 20 October 2015 Share Posted 20 October 2015 (edited) There is the chap on eBay As a club we've bought from him and he does seem flexible in the work he would do. I imagine to be of such low profile, the raiser would need to extend beyond (either in front or behind) the existing foresight mount to allow a single clamp screw there, rather than have the clamp screws (in the particular design from eBay) running on top of the existing mount which would probably push it too high. The eBay ones are a 'close' fit anyway, so it should only need a nip on a single screw to secure it. Alternatively, an 8mm on the front and a 4mm on the back - certainly if only to test the fix. H.

Anschutzfan Posted 20 October 2015 Author Share Posted 20 October 2015 I have attached a photo of what i have been told i need, i can get one off ebay from Europe but before i do that i thought there might be one closer. Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 20 October 2015 Share Posted 20 October 2015 eBay item 201439149215 might give you some pointers (I have no connection other that as stated above, if indeed it is the same seller). Note minimum riser height stated as 6mm on Match 54 foresights, but I would suggest you contact the seller to discuss something along the lines I described above. The grubscrews in your Euro version may interfere with the screws/holes in the top face of your '54 dovetail - just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyB Posted 20 October 2015 Share Posted 20 October 2015 Andy Lawrence made me an 8mm block so a 14 series foresight could fit onto a 19 series dovetail - sounds like you need the other way around and half the thickness...which cold be a problem. As Huey says, an 8mm raiser at the foresight and a 4mm for the rearsight might be best solution. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim s Posted 21 October 2015 Share Posted 21 October 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huey Posted 19 November 2015 Share Posted 19 November 2015 Just spotted this if you haven't sorted your issue yet. Looks like these work by using the actual accessory's clamp, allowing a reduced depth by not requiring clamp bolts in the spacer itself; just a slit to allow movement, similar to what I described earlier. [i have no connection with the seller] "Alloy construction", huh? Hmm, aluminium alloy, ferrous alloy, titanium alloy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
