Abstract: The invention relates to a firearm including a component carrier, a barrel having a cartridge chamber for accommodating a cartridge, and a slide that is supported on the component carrier in a longitudinally moveable manner and has a breech block for the barrel and a firing device for the cartridge. The slide bears an extractor for extracting a fired cartridge from the cartridge chamber. An ejector is supported on the slide in a longitudinally moveable manner, which ejector protrudes from the side into the extraction motion path of the cartridge and lies against a stop formed on the component carrier in the end phase of the rearward motion of the slide. The slide, together with the ejector, can be modularly replaced with a second slide having no ejector. For the second slide, said stop assumes the ejector function.

Abstract: A firearm of the rotating bolt type includes a housing part made of plastic or metal, a metal bolt carrier guide, a bolt carrier that is guided by the bolt carrier guide and that has a bolt head rotatably mounted in it, and, held by the housing part, a metal barrel nut in which a barrel can be fixed and in which the bolt head can be locked. The bolt carrier guide is directly connected with the barrel nut so that it is rigid with respect to movement, at least in the longitudinal direction of the firearm.

Abstract: A method for producing a gun barrel with an integrally adjoining housing for at least one breech head includes the steps of providing a cylindrical blank having a through-bore corresponding to the breech head diameter; hammering a first longitudinal portion of the blank on a part of a first hammering mandrel corresponding to the inner profile of the barrel while the first hammering mandrel is guided through the through-bore; and hammering a second longitudinal portion of the blank on a second hammering mandrel corresponding to the inner profile of the housing while the second hammering mandrel is inserted into the through-bore.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a gun barrel by cold forging a cylindrical blank in a barrel hammering machine, which has a plurality of forging hammers distributed around the circumference of the blank and acting radially on the blank, wherein forging hammers having ribs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blank are used in order to forge longitudinal grooves in the blank during the cold forging.

Abstract: An attachment firing apparatus, in particular a grenade launcher, for mounting on the barrel of a firearm, having an anchoring part that can be fixedly mounted on the firearm and having a support part that can be detachably connected to the anchoring part via a coupling, a launch tube in the support part being openable and closable relative to a breech, wherein the coupling is locked in the closed position of the launch tube and breech and can be opened in the open position of the launch tube and breech.

Abstract: A forward set trigger device for a firearm, includes a striking element that is acted upon by a main spring and has a catch interacting with a locking element, which can be disengaged from the catch by a trigger blade via a release member. The forward set trigger further includes an uncocking mechanism for the main spring by means of which a main spring support facing away from the striking element can be brought into a position that uncocks the main spring. A forward setting mechanism having a spring element, is articulated to the trigger blade and supported on a stop and which can be brought into an unstable cocked position during a forward setting movement of the trigger blade, and wherein the uncocking mechanism brings the spring element out of its unstable cocked position when the main spring support is moved into the uncocked position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a firing mechanism for a firearm, comprising a housing in which a spring-loaded firing pin is guided in a guide, which firing pin can be held in a cocked position by means of a firing pin lug which latches on a latching tab of a latching piece and lies radially on one side of the firing pin, with the firing pin being guided in the guide via at least one roller, and wherein the roller lies on that side of the firing pin that is located radially opposite to the firing pin lug.

Abstract: The invention relates to a firearm and a component carrier therefor. The firearm has a barrel and a breech. The component carrier comprises a grip portion for receiving at least a portion of the barrel, a housing portion for receiving at least the breech, and a coupling member in a transition zone between said two portions for coupling the barrel with the breech. The grip portion is separated into a support part radially supporting the barrel, and a spacer part keeping the support part axially spaced from the coupling member. The spacer part is configured to receive the barrel with radial clearance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drop-safety mechanism for a firearm having a pivot-mounted, trigger, said trigger being designed as an arm of a double lever, the other arm of which supports a counterweight that can be displaced between a rest position and a functional position. The counterweight is resiliently pre-tensioned in the rest position and strikes on a part of the firearm in the functional position to block the trigger from unintended firing.
