Resedent2006 Posted 25 October 2020 Share Posted 25 October 2020 Hi all, Im looking for a rear sight riser that will fit a match 54 and it’s slightly curved dovetail top. If anyone knows of any 3D printed ones then i’m happy to buy a few different sizes so that I can experiment with different extension tube lengths/front sight positions.

Irontrack Posted 27 October 2020 Share Posted 27 October 2020 I have one, I may well have two if your intrested? I believe they give about 8mm gain in height? Can't remember if its the front & rear set or just the rear? Is the match 54 the older version, as it doesn't fit my 11mm rail? It's certainly slightly curved. I will forward some pictures at the week-end if thats ok, as I've got a hectic week. Regards, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Match 54 has the slightly rounded dovetail on top. I need a minimum of 8mm fight due to my 250mm extension tube. im really only after the rear but if they come as a front and rear set then I’m happy to take the set off of you?

tim s Posted 31 October 2020 Share Posted 31 October 2020 Aren't all Match 54 receivers rounded? I've switched the same rear raiser between 14, 16, 18, and 19xx actions with no issues. I think the square 2013 has a flat topped dovetail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that’s correct, anything prior to the 1913 has a rounded action and rounded dovetail. Interesting that your’ve swapped raiders between 14,16,18 and 19xx though. Might that be that they’re forward compatible but not backward? So the round will fit on the flat but the flat won’t fit on the round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that your’ve swapped raiders between 14,16,18 and 19xx though. Might that be that they’re forward compatible but not backward? Unless there was a recent change to the 1913, every one I've seen has a rounded receiver/receiver dovetail. The action is identical to later 1813s*. Anschutz only changed the foresight dovetail with the 1913, from a deep flat top to AFAIK the same 11mm as at the receiver. EDIT : recently made raisers seem to have a flat-topped dovetail at the bottom, for the receiver. I don't know if this is for ease of machining, or for compatibility with 2013/other makes. These happily fit 1913 and older Anschutz dovetails, just only contacting at 12 o'clock (and the sides). The 54.30 may have a flat top receiver, but the rear bridge is significantly shorter, so swapping raiders is less likely. *older 1813 and 1613 receivers are functionally identical to later 1813/1913s the only difference is the notch on the action face at 6 o'clock on the later rifles.
