Bullpup stock assembly with break barrel gun

Abstract

A special stock assembly for break barrel air guns includes a bullpup stock assembly which allows a break barrel air gun to normally break without requiring any modification to the cylinder, or cocking mechanism. The invention can include the mechanical components of a break barrel air rifle as part of an original manufacture with the gun by moving the trigger assembly forward, or as an after market retrofit to an existing gun, in which case a cable linkage is provided between the in situ OEM trigger assembly and an additional trigger pull provided with the bullpup stock assembly. The cable linkage connects a forward trigger assembly to the OEM trigger and can have a 1:1 ratio of trigger movement between the forward trigger pull and the OEM trigger, or another ratio as determined by the linkage elements. The forward trigger assembly can be purely mechanical, or incorporate a servo and/or solenoid with a power source such as a battery to augment trigger pull by a trigger finger.
