Irontrack Posted 21 May 2019 Share Posted 21 May 2019 Top scoot on that one. That's an impressive saving for something that does the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnASmith97 Posted 21 May 2019 Share Posted 21 May 2019 (edited) Anschutz aren't going to spend an enormous amount of money designing something specialised like that when they can just use a standard component that can be bought for pennies! (Unless they genuinely need to for functional reasons). The worst aspect of this is the price of the bedding screws that are listed on the various websites for £10+ when they are just standard metric hex socket cap head screws that can be bought in bulk for a couple of pence per unit.

TCS Posted 23 May 2019 Share Posted 23 May 2019 Anschutz bedding bolts can be a standard 4mm Allen head but the thread used is not standard metric pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnASmith97 Posted 23 May 2019 Share Posted 23 May 2019 I think they're M5 fine, which while not something you'll find in B&Q, they're still absolutely available for peanuts compared to the "real" ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim s Posted 24 May 2019 Share Posted 24 May 2019 M6 Fine. I've yet to find a source locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb1604 Posted 24 May 2019 Share Posted 24 May 2019 M6 fine (M6 x 0.75) when seaching. Ensure that the thread is 0.75mm pitch not the standard 1mm. Lengths are then the fun part... too long for the rear bolt will jam the bolt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbartonw Posted 24 May 2019 Author Share Posted 24 May 2019 Thanks all! I have tried fitting a M5x1 and it seems to run smoothly, was careful not to strip the threads. Though I will get a thread gauge on the job first as i don't want tightening to cause wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
