Anschutz 1907 Selected barrel

[border]

 

Barrelled action, bought for my daughter who prompting gave up shooting for university.  

Selected by British Shooting from  Anschutz factory test groups

Then batch tested at Eley for Tenex and that is it.

Price from Intershoot is £1587.

For sale at £1000.  

A very good buy for the person who is looking for what is effectively a new rifle barrel/ action of proven accuracy

Hi Do you know if this would replace my Match 54 and sit in the same housing?

That depends on the stock, and exactly which Match 54 you have. 

All Match 54s* have the same diameter receiver, and bedding bolt size/location. However 14xx rifles can be narrower in the tang than 18/19xx rifles; the tang is the sticky-out-bit at the back where the trigger attaches. The 5018 trigger fitted to this 1907 is larger than the 1407/1411 triggers commonly found on 14xx rifles from the 1960s and '70s. The 5018 also has a safety catch at the side. 

If your Match 54 is in a newer stock, like a 1918 Precise, a System Gemini, or even a 1980s 1813, a 1907 barrel/action will drop straight in. Just torque up the bolts and you're good to go. However, if you have an original 1960/70s stock, you'll need to relieve the wood a little around the tang, trigger, and safety. You can remove the safety entirely; the trigger still functions, although overtravel is long. According to those who have done it, the work isn't difficult or lengthy. 

One caveat, if you have a wood stock that was epoxy bedded for a heavy barrel, and the epoxy extends under the barrel, you'll need to relieve the epoxy. The breeching nut (the tapered bit at back of the barrel) on a 1907 is slightly wider than a xx13 heavy barrel. It takes about 5min with sand paper. 

* Models 1407, 1408, 1409, 1410, 1411, 1413, 1607, 1609, 1610, 1611, 1613, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1811, 1813, 1907, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914. Sporting Match 54 rifles do not interchange with target models.

Hi Tim

Thanks for the info. My current barrel and action is from 1980 dated by Eley when i went for batch testing, and is in the Aluminium and laminate wood stock,

Do you think it will fit OK?

Thanks

Yes, a 1907 will drop straight into that 2213 cast alu stock. This was designed for the 1907 and 1913. 

Pm to follow.
