Abstract
A sear actuator has a rotatable cylinder (770) mounted between opposing side walls of the receiver (1) and a slidable rod (771) extending transversely to the cylinder. The actuator is arranged so that in one position the trigger applies a rotating force to the sear through the slidable rod (771). In a different position of the cylinder (770) the slidable rod is moved out of the path of the force exerted by the trigger and the trigger abuts a wall of the cylinder and thus the sear is rendered inoperative.
Claims4
A sear actuator for a gun having a receiver, a trigger supported by the receiver and a sear housed within said receiver, comprising a rotatable member extending between opposing walls of the receiver and a slidable rod extending transversely internally through said rotatable member so as to be rotatable therewith through like angles of movement, said member being rotatable between a first position in which said rod is arranged to interconnect motion of the trigger to the sear and a second position in which said rod is rotated therewith so that the interconnection between the trigger and the sear is removed.
