Abstract
A compressed gas gun which includes a bolt assembly which is easily removed without the necessity of disassembling the gun or special tooling. The bolt is located at the back of the gun barrel and operatively connected to the hammer assembly by a retracting pin member positioned within an aperture formed in the hammer assembly. By depressing a spring tensioned component at the rear of the bolt, the restraining pin member is caused to move along a groove, or channel, formed in a channel member, raising the pin member from the aperture in the hammer assembly from the gun and allowing the bolt assembly to be removed from the gun. The bolt assembly is reinstalled by reversing the above process.

In a compressed gas powered gun for firing projectiles from the breech of a gun that includes a projectile supply magazine for feeding projectiles to the gun breech and a bolt assembly that rides within the main body of the gun for driving a projectile from the breech to the barrel for firing, the improvement comprising an improved bolt assembly that includes a member that extends beyond the main body of the gun, activation of said member enabling the bolt assembly to be removed from the gun main body.
In a compressed gas powered gun for firing projectiles from the breech of the gun that includes a projectile supply magazine for feeding projectiles to the gun breech and a bolt assembly having a longitudinal axis that rides within the main body of the gun for driving a projectile from the breech to the barrel for firing and a hammer mechanism, the improvement comprising a bolt assembly that can be easily removed from the main body of the gun, the bolt assembly comprising:
- a pin member for securing the bolt assembly to the hammer mechanism, a portion of the gun member extending into an aperture formed in said hammer mechanism, said pin member being adapted to move in a direction substantially vertical to said longitudinal axis;
- and
- a first member for connecting said pin member to a first end of a second member, the other end of said second member causing said first member to lift said pin member from said aperture, thus enabling said bolt assembly to be removed from the main body of said gun.
