Anschütz 64 Match versus 1913 bolt

[ovenpaa]

Can anyone tell me if the 64 Match and 1913 Anschütz bolts are similar or even interchangeable?

Isn't the 1913 based on the Match 54 action?

If it is, then I doubt whether anything will be interchgeable with a 64 action.

I have a 16xx series Match 54 - with the X barrel - and although it looks identical to the normal Match 54, it isn't. The bolt is different, and so is the trigger assembly.

As above. No is the short answer. The long answer is "Noooooooooooo".

Sorry.

64 and 54 are different and never the twain shall meet.

Indeed - the '16' series onwards (mid seventies to very early 80s) lost the wing safety on the bolt. The bolt was then changed in a couple of minor ways for the 18xx (firing pin, slot at bottom) then stayed unchanged until the latest iteration (54.30?) where it got a lot shorter. There have been a few trigger variants in that time.

I have a 16X as my rimfire benchrest rifle, it shoots well.

Yep, my bolt looks like the top one in your pic, and has the different firing pin and the slot underneath. The 16xx series was a transition between the 14xx and 18xx. Great when they're working, but basically scrap if anything breaks unless you know a good fabricator/tool maker.

Great barrels, though!
