Anschutz CIL .22

[hollerinharold]

I seem to be having problems with my bolt in my .22.
It does not want to "####" and at times when I pull back the bolt, it comes right out and does not stop as it is supposed to.
Can someone out there help me with this problem.

Clean the trigger assembly.

Anschutz

I thoroughly cleaned the whole action!
Not the help I was looking for.

Have you adjusted the trigger recently? Perhaps it has been tuned so light it is now not engaging the firing pin?

Anschutz are out of my league...

In other bolt action rifles I have been around, a trigger re-set spring being weak caused this. (a spring which maintians a bit of "forward" pressure on the trigger). Probably doesn't need replacing, just hyper extend it, be good for another few decades.

CIL Anschutz rifles aren't that expensive. They were manufactured for CIL by Anschutz, and the cheaper models such as the 125 can be had for around $300.

Awwwww fellas. You don't have to buy me one. Mighty kind offer though! (will PM pal# n' address)


I wasn't bragging about my situation, but honestly suggesting I've not had one pass through here (sure, they are on the list...I'd love to find the 'ol semi too) I was happy to share what cured that ail for me. For all I know, the mechanism could be completely different in something I've not seen.

If it is a 180, 190 or 310 then adjustment of the pre-travel screw to the point of not enough engagement can cause this to happen.
I remember it when chasing the "perfect" trigger with my 310. Still passed the bump-test once it engaged though.

Took it to one of my friends who knows a lot about rifles and other shootin hardware and he found that the trigger mechanism screws attached to the barrel were loose.
He tightened them up, and, Voila, it works like a charm.

Who doesn't love a happy ending?

THat would be around a 1965-66 year issue to be a 125 as I also own one. Still a great shooting gun all these years later. Have been offered a lot more then $300. for it as well. I agree with trying to adjust your trigger as well.
