Claims5
A bolt action weapon comprising:
- a frame,
- a handle on said frame,
- a trigger mounted on said frame adjacent said handle,
- a hollow barrel having a firing chamber,
- a bolt movable in said frame axially to and from the firing chamber of said barrel,
- said bolt being provided with a surface at one end thereof which is angular to the longitudinal axis of said bolt forming a first cam surface,
- an elongated link connected at one end to said frame and providing a second cam surface along its length for engagement with said first cam surface,
- said first cam surface of said bolt and said second cam surface of said link being relatively slidably movable one over the other until said second cam surface engages a particular area on said first cam surface to retain said bolt when it has been moved to said firing chamber,
- a compression means mounted in said handle for biasing said link into contact with said bolt and for controlling the movement of said link as it collapses by causing its free end to swing downwardly away from said bolt into said handle, and
- a trip ejector arm pivotally mounted on said frame adjacent said trigger for restraining the bolt from moving to said firing chamber until actuated for pivotal movement by said trigger.
