Hello! I owne an Anschutz 1518 with a basic trigger. Wanted to upgrade it and found a ¨direct replacement ¨ from Anschutz. But once it got here, Just cannot figure out how it can replace my actual trigger...
Anyone can help?

I have no experience with Anschutz nor with double set triggers - I would be sort of amazed if a "direct replacement" from original maker thing showed up with no user instructions how to install - or they have sent you an entirely wrong unit. From your picture, I do not see how the double trigger unit below goes to replace that single trigger - maybe it does, with some mods??
 
I've done the conversion b4 on an older 64 sporter but I had two guns one with the double triggers and one with the trigger you have. Unfortunately there are more parts you need that attach to the bottom of the receiver that the double triggers will trip to release the firing pin. I'm not sure if the parts are available anymore or if you have to find a donor rifle with the parts you need. The good news is that if you have the parts the conversion is pretty easy with only the tiniest amount of inletting in the stock needed to swap it all over, it's definitely worth the effort if you can find everything
 
Did you get any more parts in your order? If not, you're missing the sear kick [#79], screw, nut [#70] & some other parts. Take a look at the dotted line flow which goes through your DST assembly. That shows the path of the screws [#'s 73 & 74]. The rear path is straightforward, as is the front. BUT, even with the DST mounted to the trigger guard, you still need the sear kick [#79], which replaces the trigger. You may also need the hangar assembly, as on the other models Anschutz shows parts diagrams for [eg. 1416] the hangar assemblies & even the safeties, are different for the single trigger & DST equipped rifles. Also, the stock inletting is different, as the single trigger model that you have has the trigger mounted to the receiver, whereas the DST is fitted below the stock.

PLUS, Anschutz does not even list the 1518 with single trigger. Are you sure your .22 WMR rifle is a 1518?

There’s a reason Nordic marksman triggers available for unsuspecting buyers without the associated parts available. Op wasted 150$
 
My single trigger looked identical to the OP's original post, the dual triggers I took off of an older 1416. I'm not sure about the match single trigger but at some point in production the receiver of the 64s got bigger and they came out with different triggers, so not sure if they are all interchangeable. Both the rifles I had were 50's and 60's vintage so easy to swap what I needed

Yes. 1518 in WMR. And an excellent shooter I might add.
