1. Introduction

1.1 Description

The Blaser Tactical 2 is a sharp-shooter firearm that was developed on the

basis of the hundred thousand-selling R93 radial locking system. Because
of this stable lock mechanism, the calibre range can be covered with a
basic model from the .223 Rem through to the .338 Lapua Magnum.

The firearm is designed as a modular system that guarantees simple

calibre and barrel changes.
Its main components are:

- The glass fiber-reinforced polyamide buttstock

- The high-strength aluminum alloy action
- The straight pull bolt
- The cold hammered barrel with integrated Picatinny rail

All metal parts are corrosion-protected and the rifle is constructed for use
under the most demanding environmental conditions.

All rifle parts are produced on the most modern machinery true to gage in
accordance with state-of-the-art technology, changing parts is therefore
possible with no difficulty.

In order to guarantee the required accuracy, the design and use of the
appropriate ammunition are of course essential, but at the same time the
rifle must be regularly maintained and repaired if required.
The procedures required to ensure this are described in this handbook.

Fig. 17: Setting the sear engagement

If parts of the trigger group have been exchanged, the locating mechanism must be
checked and reset if required.

• Set the trigger group in a vise.

• From above through the recess in the trigger housing, turn the adjustment
screw M3 on the inside with an SW1.5 allen wrench anticlockwise to the point
where the trigger bracket engages securely. You check this by pushing with a
pin (or similar) against the open lying part of the trigger bracket.
• The adjustment screw is then screwed in slowly clockwise. Pressure is applied
at the same time on the trigger bracket until it releases. This procedure is
repeated several times to ensure that the release point is attained.
• From this position the adjustment screw is screwed out ¾ of a rotation in a
counterclockwise direction. The sear engagemant may not be below this
minimum setting under any circumstances.

Modell
Blaser Tactical 2

Fig. 21: Tests for trigger function

A brief test of the functioning must be carried out after the trigger group has been
mounted in the action again.

• Apply pressure with a pin (or similar) to the trigger stud (1).
• When the trigger (2) is pulled, the sear must release and the trigger stud (1)
must give way below.
• With the single stage trigger, the trigger stud must release crisply; with the
two-stage trigger, you must be able to feel a noticeable pressure point after
the trigger slack.
• When the trigger (2) and trigger stud (1) are let go, the mechanism must return
to the initial position and engage by itself. You must be able to feel a small
amount of play on the trigger stud in the home position.

See section 3.4 for regularly testing the trigger stud height .

and remove extractor (4).

The ejector (1) should not be used again after it has been removed.

• To insert the new ejector, take it with flat pliers and place it in the bore hole on
the bolt head (2). This is easier if you turn it anticlockwise at the same time.
Once in the bore hole the ejector is then pushed in with a pin (or similar) until it
touches the bottom of the bore hole. The ejector must push in against the
spring pressure until it sits under the impact surface.
• The extractor (4) is inserted into the bolt recess. The extractor spring (3) is
inserted with the bent off end into the bore hole of the extractor and pushed
into the bolt head slot until it engages in it.

pin 2x10 (5). Note: The two transmissions look the same, however there is a
right and a left version. The left version cannot be mounted on the right and
vice versa. If the right-hand side transmission cannot be mounted as shown
above, you must use the other one.
• Insert cocking slide base (2) with the pin into the top bore hole of the right-

3.2 Inspection intervals

The following tests must be carried out after every 5000 rounds or once a
year:

• Testing the headspace

• Testing the trigger stud height
• Testing the spread size
• Testing the firing pin protrusion

It is difficult to make a general statement on the lifespan as this heavily

depends on the ammunition used. It is recommended that the barrel be
inspected and replaced if the shooting quality deteriorates noticeably.

3.3 Testing the headspace

Modell
Blaser Tactical 2
Fig. 45: Testing the headspace

For testing the headspace the chamber and the bolt head must be cleaned before
inserting the gauges

• Open the bolt.

• Insert the minimum chamber gauge (1) into the chamber. It must be possible
to close the rifle now. Remove the gauge
• Insert the maximum chamber gauge (2) into the chamber. The maximum
chamber gauge is marked with a red ring. It should not be possible to close
the rifle now. Do not use excessive force trying this !

If you cannot close the rifle with the minimum chamber gauge in it the headspace is
to short, when the rifle can be closed with the maximum gauge in it the maximum
headspace is exceeded.
