  • Patent number: 11662164
    Abstract: Magazine holders for firearms, including two actuating elements and a spring, where the first actuating element-has a locking extension for the temporary attachment of a magazine and a first actuating extension, the second actuating element has a second actuating extension, and where the two actuating elements are (operatively) connected to one another such that the locking extension releases the fastening of the magazine counter to the tension of the spring during a release movement onto one of the two actuating elements. Each actuating element is designed as one piece, in that the second actuating element has a bearing extension on an end section facing away form the second actuating extension and connected by a connecting section, and the first actuating element has a substantially shape-complementary bearing opening for receiving the bearing extension in an assembling position.

  • Patent number: 11530894
    Abstract: A training pistol having a rigid barrel and operating with a conventional blowback system, including a frame, a slide and a barrel, including a slide stop device, a firing pin assembly and preferably including a slide lock which can be moved into a disassembly position in which it releases the movement of the slide toward the front. This release can only be achieved if there is no magazine in the magazine well of the frame and the slide is stopped. The barrel is fastened in the frame by a locking device that can be brought into a release position in which it releases the barrel. Additionally an unlocking gap is provided between the barrel and the slide, and when the gap is overcome, after the slide lock has moved into the disassembly position, an unlocking ramp provided on the slide forces the locking device into the release position.

  • Patent number: 11391532
    Abstract: Adapters for mounting an accessory on a firearm, firearm accessories configured to mount to those adapters, and sheath or handguard assemblies of firearms are disclosed. The recited accessory adapter is substantially annular or tubular in shape, and includes at least two portions that are arranged adjacently along the barrel axis of the firearm. A rear portion is formed on the weapon side of the adapter, so that the rear portion is geometrically complementary to the front end of a firearm sheath, at least in part, and a front portion of the adapter includes a cylindrical coupling surface on the outside for coupling of the accessory, where the coupling surface includes at least one bayonet extension that projects radially outwards.

  • Patent number: 11333460
    Abstract: Firearms, particularly rifles, including an upper housing having a barrel, where the barrel and the upper housing are interconnected by means of a guide. In order to improve the connection, the guide includes corresponding prismatic guide surfaces that extend in parallel with the barrel shaft when the firearm is mounted and ready to fire, and the barrel is secured to the upper housing by a tensioning element that can rotate in the upper housing about an axis of rotation that extends normally with respect to the firearm center plane, and the tensioning element includes a tensioning portion and an actuating portion.

  • Patent number: 11320222
    Abstract: Charging handles for firearms, particularly gas-powered rifles. The disclosed charging handles can be operated on both sides of the firearm and include a shaft having with lateral widening at both sides. The charging handle includes an active handle, a passive handle, and a latch, where the active handle is rotatable about a pin and is urged into a fixing position by at least one spring, such that when the active handle is rotated against the spring force, the latch is released. The passive handle is configured so that when the passive handle is rotated, the passive handle also rotates the active handle. In order to relieve the pin, the release position of the active handle is defined by a support surface on the lateral widening of the shaft. The passive handle is configured analogously.

  • Patent number: 11320221
    Abstract: Firearms including magazine holders operable from either side of the firearm. The magazine holder includes two interconnected actuating elements, pivotable with respect to one another and separable from one another by longitudinal shifting, and a spring. The magazine holder is configured so that when pressure is applied to a right actuating element, a moment of force is applied to a first actuating element, which it cannot follow, and so both actuating elements, without changing their relative position to one another, are shifted against the force of the spring normal to the weapon median plane, removing a locking extension from the magazine housing. Upon actuation of the left actuating element, a stop on the right actuating element prevents its shift transverse to the weapon median plane, and so the first actuating element pivots against the force of the spring, and the locking extension is again moved from the locking element.

  • Patent number: 11215414
    Abstract: Firearms, with gas-operated reloading, having a gas block that includes a gas pressure selector movable between at least two positions. For smooth operation, the gas pressure selector in the gas block is rotatable into at least two positions about its primary axis and is also designed to be axially displaceable along the same primary axis between at least two positions. The gas block includes a stop pin that is arranged to cooperate with a control surface of the gas pressure selector with complementary form and function, and further includes a locking device having a spring-loaded locking pin that can yield normally to the primary axis to temporarily lock the gas pressure selector in a predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 9316455
    Abstract: A pistol with a trigger spring which assists the trigger movement counter to the force of a restoring spring and acts at one end on the trigger slide and at the other end directly or indirectly on the housing of the pistol. In order further to improve the trigger spring, it is provided that said trigger spring is a helical spring which is loaded in compression and the interior of which contains a guide pin which, in the region of one of the ends thereof, has a transverse bolt with which said guide pin rests in a groove fixed on the housing, and which, in the region of the other end thereof, holds a first end region of a hook in a movably mounted manner, the second end region of which hook is of U-shaped design, and in that part of the trigger slide is mounted in said U-shaped end.
