Bolt
The ANSCHÜTZ bolt
The ANSCHÜTZ bolt is designed to be ex-
tra strong and reliable and is manufactured
to the closest tolerances. Bolt and cam are
lapped to assure very smooth operation. It
has a double locking device. When the
wing safety is in the down position both the
firing pin and the bolt handle are locked.
When it is in the horizontal position the rifle
may be fired and/or the bolt handle raised
to operate the bolt. Due to a short firing pin
travel and a low-weight firing pin the lock
time is very fast.
To disassemble the bolt
Make sure the rifle is pointed in a safe
direction, remove the magazine and make
sure that the cartridge chamber is
completely clear. Then raise the safety to
the horizontal position and pull the bolt
back towards you as far as possible.
•Hold the bolt as shown and turn the bolt
handle clockwise and the wing safety
counter-clockwise as far as they will go.
•Depress bolt stop on left side of receiver
and pull bolt out to the rear. This removes
the bolt from the receiver.
