  • Patent number: 11892261
    Abstract: A rifle has a fixed main body including a barrel, a receiver with an upper opening, and a breech element. A carriage assembly is axially movable between an advanced shooting configuration and a retracted rearming configuration, and vice versa. The carriage assembly includes an assembly body positioned on the receiver at the upper opening, which is axially slidably movable, having a through housing extending transversally, a firearm handle with an outer portion grippable and an inner portion shaped for complementarily housing in the through housing, being insertable both sides, and a shutter group partially accommodated in the assembly body, including a shutter body and a shutter head. The shutter head is mountable onto the shutter body in first and second angular positions, which are reciprocally inverted. The rifle is configurable for a right-handed or a left-handed person by changing the position of the firearm handle and the shutter head.

  • Patent number: 11815324
    Abstract: A rifle has a fixed main body, including a barrel, a receiver with an upper opening, and a breech element. A trigger group is at least partially housed in the receiver, including a trigger and a hammer device operable by the trigger. A carriage assembly includes an assembly body and a shutter group at least partially housed in the assembly body. The carriage assembly is positioned on the receiver at the upper opening and is axially movable by a user between an advanced shooting configuration and a retracted rearming configuration. Upon axial movement of the carriage assembly, between the retracted and advanced configurations, the shutter group is first moved axially in translation and then in roto-translation. The shutter group includes a central body and a command pin protruding radially from the shutter body. The command pin engages the assembly body so reciprocal interaction guides the shutter group in rotation.

  • Patent number: 11774201
    Abstract: A firearm, such as a rifle, has a trigger group operable by the user in order to control the shooting action. The trigger group includes a trigger and an adjustment device for adjusting the intensity needed to operate the trigger. The adjustment device includes a rod (151) movable by the trigger extending between a trigger end and a free end. A command member engaged with the rod is positionable in a predefined operating axial position. The rod slidably engages with the command member. A thrust spring acts on the rod between the engagement end and the command member. Elastic action of the thrust spring on the trigger is a function of the axial operating position of the command member.
