It also included other innovative features such as a rotary magazine and unique scope ring mounting system. When it was introduced in 1969 is had one of the first, if not the first, synthetic stock on a production sniper rifle. Steyr of Austria has a long history of being one of the innovators of sniper rifle development and their original SSG-69 is considered one of the first truly modern sniper rifles. Stock: Reinforced Polymer, Adjustable Cheekpiece and Spacer System.Magazine: Detachable Box Magazine, Double Stack (10 rounds - 308, 8 round - 300 Win Mag).Barrel: Cold Hammer Forged Heavy Barrel.Removed my homemade shim, installed the insert and I am in business. It was superglued in place to help repair an old crack. Cleaned it up with emory paper and jewelers files. I just finished carefully breaking the old TG away from the insert and it came out intact. I'm sure that is the part you are talking about. The problem is its glued or fused in place.
#Steyr mannlicher ssg 69 manual
I checked the schematic in the users manual and it shows a part number 54 called an "insert for set trigger". I dug my old TG out of the trash and there is an insert. The new triggerguard has the metal ring under the screw head but no support between it and the stock, hence the need for a spacer. When I removed the original trigger guard, I compared the two, and the area under the rear screw of the original was solid all the way to the stock, but was made completely of plastic. Bolt handle is correct and the stock has been cerakoted tan. View attachment 21567 View attachment 21568 Take a look at the pictures and let med know if you agree.


unfortunately i do not have the rest of the triggerguard, but i assume that it can also be used to stop any cracks from spreading in an otherwise sound triggerguard, and that way extending its usefull life.

I used this process on the 2 pieces of plastic around the stock screws, thus enabling me to securely mount the action in the stock.
#Steyr mannlicher ssg 69 crack
Cappiliar action then draws the acetone in to the crack, dissolves the plastic, and after about 5 seconds i could press the crack together and the crack would close and a small bead of plastic would flow to the top of the crack. The way I did it was to open the crack as much as i could without causing the plastic to crack further, and with a cuetip dap a small drop of acetone on to the crack. If you still have the plastic triggerguard, but it is cracked, one way to "fix it" (and this is by no means a permanent fix) is to use acetone to disolve the plastic and the press the crack together. I would like to add a little tip for repairing your original plastic triggerguard. I bought the rifle with a wooden stock, it appears to be a Mchale stock, but i have not been able to find another picture on the internet of a Mchale stock in wood, so i assume that its a stock that has been made to order, but the original Steyr plastic triggerguard fit perfectly in it, and i assume that the CDI product will do aswell. So I will lurk around, and see how things play out.īut i have one aditional question, and i hope that i am not hijacking this thread. So the CDI option look like the way to go. I have also been looking at the Styria Arms product, but reading this thread makes me think that they are not interested in selling a lot of those. And a search on the interweb brought me here. I am the lucky owner of a SSG 69 PI with a broken trigger guard.
