  • Trigger safety for a firearm
    Patent number: 5036749
    Abstract: A guiding tube is mounted on the buffer cylinder at the rear end of an automatic firearm. On this guiding tube, a safety ring is fitted in non-rotatable but axially displaceable manner. In a forward operating position the safety ring prevents depressing the trigger, and thus, any firing. In a backward operating position of the safety ring the trigger may be freely actuated. This safety arrangement is simple in design and operation, and it may easily be mounted on existing weapons.
