Abstract
A device for controlling the feeder system of pump-action shotguns having a breech-block which is operatively associated, by virtue of two braces, with a cocking rod (3) moving between two stroke limit positions of the breech-block, a closed position and an open position. The rod motion actuates the feeding of a cartridge from a tubular magazine (5) to a rising block when the breech-block reaches the open position and from the rising block into the firing chamber of the barrel (7) when the breech-block returns to the closed position. The device includes a limiter (9) for limiting the opening stroke of the breech-block and for selectively preventing the breech-block from reaching the open stroke limit position.
Claims13
A device for controlling the feeder system of a pump-action shotgun having a breech-block which is operatively associated with a cocking rod which is adapted to move in a backward stroke and alternatively a forward stroke between two stroke limit positions of the breech-block, a closed position and an open position, the motion of said cocking rod actuating the feeding of a cartridge from a tubular magazine to a rising block when said breech-block reaches the open position and from the rising block into a firing chamber of a barrel of said shotgun when said breech-block returns to the closed position, comprising a limiter for limiting the backward stroke of said cocking rod and for opening said breech-block, said limiter being adapted to selectively prevent said breech-block from reaching the open position.
