Anschutzfan Posted 5 August 2016 Share Posted 5 August 2016 Hi all, A bit of a long shot but i'm trying to track down a part for an old style Anschutz butt for a club member, its the centre 'adaptor' piece (shown with the arrow on the photo) that lets you use the armadillo finger in place of the usual ginormous cast alloy hook. If you have one knocking around you don't mind selling please let me know, also on the look out for the two bolts, nut and finger but the centre piece is the killer to find. Thanks and rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrward Posted 7 August 2016 Share Posted 7 August 2016 I believe I have one of these, I will have a look for the bolt but don't hold out too much hope PM me with an offer including postage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 7 August 2016 Share Posted 7 August 2016 It's highly probable that my club has all the parts you are after but I will need to check. We hold the rifles offsite so things like butthooks just get in the way for transportation, so we have removed them. I will check their whereabouts whilst you ping me an offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonloop Posted 9 August 2016 Share Posted 9 August 2016 I have one of these, just the alloy piece - no bolts or any other parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 (edited) It's highly probable that my club has all the parts you are after but I will need to check. I checked. We have! Also the main fixing bolt and knuckle (first aluminium part) if anyone else is looking Edited 7 September 2016 by Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batty Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 Is the end part available for sale (the light silver part)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 Not ATM Michelle (offer pending) but that does seem to be the bit in demand! I would have thought if you have the middle section with the set screws, then some alu rod of a suitable dia. would see you right. You could bend the alu rod too.

batty Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 If it does become available I'm after one of those (specifically the one with the kink in ot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 Ok, so slightly suprised by the interest this is generating, but to clarify for the various PMs I've received, these are the bits the club has : All proceeds (as and when) to the club's coffers.

10 Dots Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 Hi All I've often seen posts for people wanting the 'butt plate-to-hook' connector and assume them to be as common as 'Hen's teeth'. There's a guy that designs and makes accessories for Field Target rifles by using the Selective Laser Sintering process. Many of his designs are improvements on the OEM parts and I'm sure that if you approached him with an original part he'd be willing to make a counterpart, or maybe an improved version. The process is not cheap but he has the advantage of a webshop and if there's enough demand the unit price would be reduced. Anyway, it was just a thought, here's the link to his website www.maestro-design.co.uk 10 Dots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huey Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 Indeed, I bought some Gemini buttplate links from him the other week Shame he'd run out of bipods though, I'm looking for another Gemini (as much as his version very close) with the long legs.

Anschutzfan Posted 16 September 2016 Author Share Posted 16 September 2016 Hi all, Ta for all the help on this ghastly project so far. I still need to find the two parts in the new photo, the bottom half of the hinge and the finger - see arrows 1 and 2. The hard bit is they need to be the early raw aluminium (silver) version as shown, not the later, and seemingly more common darker grey 'monkey metal' version' If anyone has these to sell please let me know. Regards and thanks al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a unique piece, but of course if you place a bulk order then some discount may apply. (and the bipods are available again, in limited number.)
