Abstract: The invention relates to a bolt stop for an automatic firearm comprising a bolt stop lever that can be moved between a release position and a catch position, and a locking device that can be moved between a standby position and a locking position, for selectively securing the bolt stop lever in the release position, wherein the locking device is disengaged with the bolt stop lever when in the standby position, and is engaged in with the bolt stop lever when in the locking position, the bolt stop lever deactivated in the locking position.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to weapon receivers, profile rails, and weapons. According to one example, a receiver for a self-loading firearm, includes a first guide track within which a loading lever can be moved to move a loading tube that can be brought into contact with, or is in contact with a breechblock; a second guide track connected to the first guide track, wherein the loading lever can be shifted to the second guide track via a first opening in the receiver to move the loading tube, such that the loading lever can be operated ambidextrously. Other examples are contemplated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a firearm comprising one or more retractable loading system elements, specifically at least one from a loading device, breechblock carrier, or slide. These each follow a trajectory when retracted. The firearm also comprises one or more reference elements, which indicate such a predetermined position of the loading system elements along their respective trajectories, at which the chamber is opened, such that a cartridge potentially located in the chamber can be seen and/or felt, but is not ejected. The predetermined position of the loading system element is distanced to possible positions for disassembling the firearm, and the one or more reference elements are formed such that they ensure that the loading system elements can travel freely along their respective trajectories when the safety for the firearm is either on or off.

Abstract: A firearm with a compound lever trigger mechanism includes a first member pivotally attached to a firearm receiver at a first pivot and a first lever arm extending away from the first pivot attachment point to a sear. The first member is pivotable between a first position where the sear engages a firing element and a second position where the sear does not engage the firing element. A trigger member is pivotally attached to the first member first lever arm with a trigger blade arm extending away from the second pivot in one direction and a bearing arm extending away in another direction toward bearing contact with a surface of the receiver. Pulling the trigger blade arm causes the trigger member to pivot relative to the first member and the bearing arm to move in bearing contact against the receiver, thereby pivoting the lever arm from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: Provided is an external piston gas-operated firearm with an adjustable gas flow. A gas piston is operably connected to a bolt carrier. A gas block has an internal cylinder configured to receive a head portion of the gas piston and the cylinder is operably connected to a barrel bore to allow propellant gas pressure to bear against a face of the piston head portion. The gas piston includes at least one axially selectively positionable exhaust port such that in a first axial orientation no gas is vented through the exhaust port and in a second axial orientation a portion of the gas pressure is exhausted in conjunction with displacement of the piston to cycle the action.

Abstract: Example apparatus are disclosed for a magazine for a self-loading firearm, the magazine comprising a magazine housing, and a magazine floor plate movably mounted to the magazine housing.
