Hey I'm having a pretty serious failure and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this,

When I pull the trigger of my 64 match I hear a slight click and nothing happens. If I put the safety on after it failing to fire, it fires.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
I have tried to contact them three times over two weeks, I only had one response and they said they would forward it to the Canadian branch but I haven't received a reply.

Does anyone have a direct phone number or email address for Anschutz Canada?
 
So, it fires as the safety is moved into the safe position? Or it will fire once it is put on safe by pulling the trigger? My first instinct is it sounds like something is hanging up where it shouldn't be and actuating the safety is somehow jarring it loose. As said could be the sear engagement, first or second stage adjustments out of wack maybe? I'd check the trigger group to make sure the first and second stage trigger adjustments were correct and I'm not too familiar with the gun, but I'd take it apart as far as I was comfortable with and try to run the action components in hand to see if I can see anything odd.

But I'm not really a patient guy and sending it in somewhere would be a last resort, I relate diagnosing and fixing issues on my own to doing puzzles. It's a brain exercise to comprehend the engineering sometimes bu in the end you know your rifle that much better.
Most important is to aquire/possess a solid understanding of how it's all supposed to function together.
Then identify why exactly it is not functioning properly.
Figure out what is necessary to make it do what it should again... Execute.
 
Are you sure that the bolt has not been disassembled & put back together incorrectly, This is usually the cause of FTF on the 64 action.
I hadn't taken the bolt apart since I bought it until the problem started

Have you or anyone else adjusted the trigger at all?
Not since I purchased it, but something may have worked itself loose.

After you have pulled the trigger the act of putting the safety on causes it to fire, I agree it seems like something is getting hung up.

I have had it apart a couple times since the problem started trying various things, I'd rather not send it away if I can help it, but if myself or someone at my local range can't figure it out I'll have to send it out.


Thanks for the replies guys
