  • Patent number: 12135185
    Abstract: A device for forming a secondary mount of a handguard on a firearm, wherein it is possible to bring the upper receiver of the firearm into a partially dismantled state from the lower receiver by tilting about a front takedown pin and/or into a dismantled state by removing (a pin), there being in the mounted state an elastic clamping connection between the handguard and the upper receiver and/or a barrel mount connected to the upper receiver, which barrel mount comprises at least one clamping element and at least one abutment, and the clamping element is designed such that when the handguard is connected or removed, an elastic deformation of at least one part of the clamping element takes place, and such that, in the mounted state, there is resilient prestressed contact with the abutment and/or at least partial accommodation in the abutment.

  • Patent number: 11885580
    Abstract: Firearms with cartridge-case ejection, including a barrel with a movable bolt carrier with a bolt, with a breech face, with a movable ejector and with a firearm-fixed functional edge which pushes the ejector into its ejection position when the bolt carrier moves back after a shot has been fired. In order to create an ejection that is always evenly performed, an ejector lever is arranged on the bolt carrier so that it can be rotated about a pivot axis running normal to the firearm's central plane, which abuts against the functional edge when the bolt carrier moves backwards and thereby twisted so that it abuts an impact surface of the ejector and forces it to the eject position.
