Abstract
The invention relates to a firearm and a component carrier therefor. The firearm has a barrel and a breech. The component carrier comprises a grip portion for receiving at least a portion of the barrel, a housing portion for receiving at least the breech, and a coupling member in a transition zone between said two portions for coupling the barrel with the breech. The grip portion is separated into a support part radially supporting the barrel, and a spacer part keeping the support part axially spaced from the coupling member. The spacer part is configured to receive the barrel with radial clearance.
Claims20
A component carrier for a firearm, the firearm having a barrel and a breech block, comprising:
- a grip portion for receiving at least a portion of the barrel,
- a housing portion for receiving at least the breech block, and
- a coupling member in a transition zone between said the grip portion and housing portion for coupling the barrel with the breech block,
- wherein the grip portion is separated into at least two component parts comprising a support part radially supporting and axially guiding the barrel, and a spacer part keeping the support part axially spaced from the coupling member, which spacer part is configured to receive the barrel with radial clearance, and wherein the support part is mounted on the spacer part.
A firearm, comprising:
- a barrel, a breech block and a component carrier,
- wherein the component carrier comprises:
- a grip portion for receiving at least a portion of the barrel,
- a housing portion for receiving at least the breech block, and
- a coupling member in a transition zone between said two portions for coupling the barrel with the breech block;
- and wherein the grip portion is separated into at least two components comprising a support part radially supporting and axially guiding the barrel, and a spacer part keeping the support part axially spaced from the coupling member and receiving the barrel with radial clearance;
- the coupling member forms a bayonet coupling for an exchangeable barrel and the component carrier is provided with a releasable lock for the bayonet coupling;
- and further wherein the lock of the bayonet coupling acts between the support part and a counter piece mounted on the barrel.
