Anschutz 1400, 1500 Instruction Manual

1. Trigger weight
Adjust the trigger weight with set screw
No. 2:
¥if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
trigger weight is increased (+)
¥if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
trigger weight is decreased (-)
Trigger weight and first stage weight
depend on each other with regard to the
mechanic mechanism. If one of them is
changed there will always be a corres-
ponding change of the other as well.
2. Sear engagement
The sear engagement is the distance bet-
ween the second stage and the release of
the trigger.
Important note:
To protect your precise trigger and to
Two and single stage triggers

guarantee perfect operation you should
always close the action carefully. If the sear
engagement of single stage triggers is too small
and the trigger weight is too low or if the first
stage of two-stage triggers is too short, the
trigger might release inadvertently by a sudden
impact or too powerful closing of the action if
the gun is loaded and not in the ÓsafeÒ position.
Adjustment of the sear engagement for
assembled two-stage triggers with set
screw No. 1:
¥if you turn it to the left (counter-clockwise):
sear engagement is shortened
¥if you turn it to the right (clockwise):
sear engagement is extended
Adjustment of an optimum sear engagement:
Make sure your rifle is not loaded. Cock
your rifle and release the trigger. Check if
the trigger releases as desired.
The sear engagement is too long:
There is a small distance between the
second stage and the release of the trigger.
¥Turn set screw No. 1 counter-clockwise
after cocking and releasing (approxi-
mately 
1/8 turn each).
¥Repeat this process until you do not feel
the second stage anymore. Then turn
1/4 turn back to the right. Thus the
optimum sear engagement is adjusted.
The sear engagement is too short:
There is no second stage. The trigger
releases un-defined without second stage.
¥Turn set screw No. 1 clockwise  for at least
1/4 turn after cocking. Then release the
trigger and check if there is a second 
						

							27
stage. If not, repeat this procedure until
you feel a second stage.
¥As soon as you feel a second stage
proceed according to the points of the
paragraph ãThe sear engagement is too
longÒ to obtain an optimum sear engage-
ment.
Adjustment of the optimum sear
engagement for assembled single stage
triggers with set screw No. 1:
¥Cock the rifle.
¥Turn set screw No. 1 (first stage) as long
to the right until the trigger releases.
¥Turn set screw No. 1 from this position
approx. 
1/4 turn to the left.
Warning:
Single stage triggers are very sensitive and
must be operated with special care.
The sear engagement of 
5/100 mm is ob-
tained after the action is closed. In
combination with a minimum trigger weight
there might be a malfunction and an
increased risk (independent shot
release).
3. Malfunctions of the trigger due to
wrong adjustment procedure
If the trigger is not adjusted correctly mal-
functions may occur, tampering with the
trigger adjustments will not result in any
success. Therefore proceed as follows:
After every change the function of the
trigger must be checked. When the
malfunction is removed check the desired
trigger values and adjust them again if
necessary.The trigger catches the cocking piston or
firing pin, but the trigger does not release:
¥Make sure that the safety of the trigger is
released.
The trigger does not catch the cocking
piston or firing pin:
¥The first stage trigger is adjusted too
tightly.
¥Turn set screw No. 1 approx. 1-2 turns to
the left. Procede according to par. 2.
4. Safety
There is a safety lever at the right side of
the trigger. Please see chapter ãCocking,
loading and safety operationÒ.
5. Maintenance
Please see chapter ãCleaning, mainte-
nance, care, oilsÒ.

Double set hunting trigger
The models of the series 1400 ST and 1500 STare equipped with a double set hunting
trigger. The purpose of this trigger is to fire
the shot with a minimum of trigger pressure
(hair trigger). The double set trigger is
operated as follows:
¥Pull the rear trigger towards you until it
engages with an audible click. The trigger
is now cocked. CAUTION: If the release
pressure of the double-set trigger is ad-
justed too low, the shot could go off by
vibration. The release pressure is adjusted
with the set screw (see picture). Turn
counter-clockwise for higher pressure,
clockwise for lower pressure. The double
set trigger must only be adjusted by an
authorized gunsmith.
¥Once the trigger has been cocked the
round can be fired by merely touching
the front trigger (first trigger). Do not touch
this trigger unless you really do wish to fire.
Attention:
Do not shake the rifle or expose it to
vibrations once the trigger has been
cocked. Stay at the place you wish to fire
from because otherwise the round could be
fired inadvertently. If you do not fire, uncock
the trigger immediately. Never walk about
Ü
with the trigger cocked.  Before you load
the rifle check that the trigger really does
operate properly.
You should be able to fire a round in these
following three ways:
¥Pull the front trigger until the rifle fires.
¥Push the rear trigger forwards towards the
muzzle until the rifle fires.
¥Normal way as described before under
the description of the operation of the
double set trigger.
Unclocking the double-set trigger when
the rifle is loaded:
Extreme care must be exercised on
uncocking the double-set trigger.
¥Set the safety by pressing down the wing
of the wing safety being located at the
end of the bolt.
¥Press it down until it comes to a stop. The
graduated line must be straight in line with
ãSÒ (safe). Hold the rifle in such a position
that no damage or injury is caused if a
round is fired inadvertently.
¥Unclock the double-set trigger by pulling
the front trigger.
There is a further, silent method of uncocking
the double-set trigger. Here, too, the safety
lever must be set to prevent the rifle from
firing.
¥Pull the rear (second) trigger towards you
with your middle finger to the stop and
keep the trigger in this position.
¥Now pull the front (first) trigger towards
you with your index finger to the stop and 
						

							29
hold it there until you have slowly released
the rear trigger and it has  returned to its
normal position.
¥Afterwards slowly release the front trigger
in the same manner.
Note:
In both cases the bolt remains cocked. The
trigger can be cocked again if desired.
Attention:
Exercise the greatest care when performing
the foregoing actions. Practise several times
with an unloaded rifle until you have
thoroughly mastered the procedure and
always ensure that the rifle is pointed in a
safe direction at any time.
After firing, the empty case is ejected by
opening the bolt. A new cartridge is loaded
into the chamber by closing the bolt. Your
rifle is now ready to fire the next round.

Sight set
Folding rear sight and tangent rear
sight
1. Elevation of folding rear sight:
¥ Loosen slightly both screws at the rear sight
¥Shots are too low:
Raise the slide
¥The shots are too high:
Lower the slide
2. Elevation of tangent rear sight:
¥Shots are too low:
Raise rear sight elevator
¥The shots are too high:
Lower rear sight elevator
3. Windage of folding and tangent
rear sight
To adjust windage to left or right tap the
base of the rear sight in the opposite
direction of the desired change of impact,
using a soft metal such as aluminum or brass
punch.
Scope mounts:
All ANSCH†TZ rifles have a grooved,
11 mm rail to accept mounts for a telescopic
sight.
Cleaning, Maintenance, Care,
Lubrication
Even after considerable use, your
ANSCH†TZ small bore match rifle will not
require much attention - a tribute to its solid
design, first class materials, well proven
ANSCH†TZ workmanship and precision.
If you follow the recommendations below,
you will help maintain the excellent
performance of your rifle for a long time.
Regular care after every shooting:
¥Please only use resin and acid free oils.
¥Remove any residues from the barrel.
Clean with a lint-free cloth  or pull cleaning
cords several times through the barrel
from chamber to muzzle to remove
deposits. Subsequently pull a slightly
oiled, lint-free cloth or cleaning cords
through the barrel to avoid corrosion.
¥Clean the bolt and the loading tray with
a slightly oiled cloth.
¥Make sure that the metal parts of your
rifle are protected against corrosion by a
slight oil film. Do not use exessive oil.
¥Remove the oil film with a dry cloth or
cleaning cords before you shoot again.
¥Some ammunition leaves corrosive parti-
cles in the barrel. Therefore you should
thoroughly clean and oil the barrel each
time immediately after shooting to avoid
corrosion.
