Title: Theoben
Post by: Geoff parish on May 03, 2024, 04:29:02 PM
Hi Kev,
Dr Bob recommended you to maybe help me with my problem. I have a Theoben with a broken trigger block. A small piece has broken out and now will not fire - the trigger block is an ANSCHUTZ. Any help or advice you can provide would be very welcome.
Regards
 Geoff

@Geoff parish , you've broken the catch link. I can get the part and fit it for you. They aren't cheap though I'll warn you!
All in all it'll cost you circa £100.00 to fix it and post back to you after I've tested it.
Drop me a message if you want to go ahead and I'll get the part ordered.

Hi Brooksy

Thank you so much for the reply. That will be great if you can do that. How much of the gun do you need?

I will need your address, probably best to send it via email. A phone number would be handy too.

My email address is [email protected]
Phone number is 07525 901735

Let me know how you would like to be paid and roughly how long the work is likely to take.

Kind regards
Geoff Parish

I'll only need the trigger unit Geoff. How long though, that's the question. I have to order the part through my local RFD as he has an account with RUAG, the UK supplier of Anschutz parts, luckily I have an account with him. RUAG aren't the best I'm afraid, they once took nearly 3 months but they've been taken over by Benelli so things may have speeded up. I'll drop you an email later mate. I can order the part tomorrow morning (RFD closed all day Wednesday). If you're happy with an uncertain time line I'll order it anyway and hopefully it'll arrive shortly after your trigger gets here.
Just to be sure you haven't broken anything else, there are three bits that can go, take a look at the sear at the top and make sure it's complete, there should be a sharp triangle at the back where a pin goes through. Then, look behind the trigger blade through the bottom, there should be a lever with a flat plate that moves with the trigger blade.

Update. Apparently RUAG have improved. They quote around a week for part delivery. It's a miracle!
