Housey Posted 15 July 2018 Share Posted 15 July 2018 Hey guys, I've been spending some time designing a bolt protector for the Anschutz Match 54 bolt (1813 onwards). I have now started a small production line 3D printing them. As I'm just trying to gauge if there is an interest in a more affordable protector, I have only made a couple in Black. If there is more of an interest I will add more colours and the ability to personalise them such your name,club name, logo etc. Please let me know your thoughts. At the moment they are on ebay for £12.99, however my ebay account will accept offers of £9.99 or more if you feel they are worth less. I've used these on my bolt for the past 6 months with absolutely no wear and tear. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJP345 Posted 16 July 2018 Share Posted 16 July 2018 Nice idea. Would it be possible to extend the bolt-protector to cover and protect the back end and the ejectors too? It looks as though you have a lid that will cover the ejector end... And will it fit my 1978 Match54 serial 164xxx ? R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housey Posted 16 July 2018 Author Share Posted 16 July 2018 These can absolutely be changed. When I modelled this I based it on the current ones out there. The end cap does cover the bolt face, i like the idea of having it flush at the end so I could clean the face whilst housed. I will create a couple extending further both ends to see how they get on. I have no Idea if it will fit a 1978. I have only an 1813 so that's all I could model off. I will be designing more in the future as I am going to be measuring different bolts at my club.

R The front portion of the bolt didn't change until the mid-'80s, and even then Anschutz only switched from the shallow groove clearing the ejector to a slighter broader and shallower rib. The lug geometry appears the same. The firing pin and cocking cams did change, but that may not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dda1000 Posted 16 July 2018 Share Posted 16 July 2018 (edited) Hi, I'll take one for my Match 54 and we could do with a couple for the club Anshutz's too - a 1813 and a 1903 Cheers, Mike (I'll see you at the club soon) Edited 16 July 2018 by dda1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontrack Posted 16 July 2018 Share Posted 16 July 2018 Hi Just brought one on e-bay. I bit of a step up from my old cut out water pipe. Many thanks. Any chance of extending the range to cover Grunig ? Regards, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housey Posted 17 July 2018 Author Share Posted 17 July 2018 I will eventually try to cover other brands. As I cannot find dimensions online I need to measure the bolts myself. I will be disappearing for 4 months with work soon. So no new models will appear before then. (Sorry guys) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slug33ukuk Posted 17 July 2018 Share Posted 17 July 2018 Just bought 1 for myself...if it is ok will probably want at least another 2...will let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housey Posted 17 July 2018 Author Share Posted 17 July 2018 Okay. Ive just sold the last of what Ive already printed. Should have some more by the weekend and will put the listing back up. To the guys who have already brought some, please let me know what you think and let me know if there are any massive issues. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnASmith97 Posted 17 July 2018 Share Posted 17 July 2018 I should have done this myself earlier, might have made a few quid! Yours are slightly nicer than mine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irontrack Posted 21 July 2018 Share Posted 21 July 2018 Received mine. Used it and it works well. Very impressed. Like I said a step up from my bit of blue water pipe. When I get the Grunig I will forward you the dims for the bolt. Many Thanks Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
