64ms

[alan]

Greeting all.
A good friend of mine and fellow Sihouette shooter has recently picked up a used 64ms rifle for his son to alow him to join in the fun.
Well at the first attempt to sight in his son's new to him rifle the gun failed to fire. He does not want to get into the hate drama with the seller and wishes to get the gun back in working order? Another mutal friend disassembled the malfunctioning gun and identfied the problem...Bad Sear.
Where would one find such a part and does anyone on this board have this part to sell. I truely enjoyed shooting field target with this young gun 10 years ago and would like to get him in the mix asap.

Happy Holidays to all.

Are you sure it's really a bad sear???? Anschutz triggers are pretty durable and may only need proper adjustment. Before I got carried away I'd call Neal Stepp at ISS (Internationl Shooters Supply) and talk to him about sending him the trigger for cleaning, adjustment and if necessary repair. Call Neal at Telephone/Fax: 817-595-2090.

Neal's a a great guy and usually has a quick turn around time if he has the parts on hand. I've been doing business with him for many years, back to when I was shooting International Pistol and rifle.

I have never heard of a sear going bad but I haven't heard it all yet. I would also start with a trigger cleaning and adjustment. Even if that isn't the problem it probably needs a good cleaning.

Bad Sear?
Well the local Annie expert at our club seems to think so.
My understanding is they came to that conclusion thru the guys expertise.
I have no clue of the function or the repair process I am just trying to help get the kids gun running.
My buddy told me he need to find a sear for it so that prompted me to ask here.
Thanks for the direction I will pass it along.

Would help if you could define "failure to fire" more in depth..Failure to fire could represent a failure in the ignition system ranging from a shortened firing pin due to "peening" in the chamber edge, broken firing pin, weak firing pin spring, "crud" in the bolt assembly slowing the firing pin down to where it carries too little energy to ignite the round, and even mis-assembly of the bolt...."bad sear" would seem to indicate that the sear is not "setting" , causing the firing pin to remain at rest instead of in the "cocked" position. If i recall correctly the sear engagement is adjustable on the 64MS (someone correct me if I thinking of another annie trigger)...It is possible that it is adjusted incorrectly and not allowing it to "catch"...In any case, Bob259's advice to call Neal Strepp is sound....These are durable little workhorses and it should not take too much to get it running again.

Good luck

Without looking at it just guessing from past experience dirt or gummed up oil in the bolt it slows the striker. Or Bad ammo, cheap stuff today FTF's are frequent. Before sending it off try stopping the bolt spraying with Cab cleaner then blasting with air hose. Then test it with good quality ammo

Update.
The gun and parts were cleaned with Carb cleaner and is not gummed up.
The adjustment is non existant due to wear from what I was explained.
The hard part was the gun was sold as a good shooter.
The rounds resist being placed into the barrel due to alignment and when places in the bore are failing to fire.
The hunt for a new trigger is on.

Alan, Again, save yourself time and $$$ call Neal Stepp and arrange for him to fix your trigger. It will be good as new.
