Abstract: A rifle exhibits a cage axially movable in the barrel direction, a triggering system, except for the firing lever, being attached to this cage. Preferably, the cage is located within a base box through which extended cage axles are guided in slotted holes. By means of a safety including a cocking and, respectively, uncocking position, two conditions can be set from the rifle stock. In the safety position, the operative connection of the firing lever to a trigger sear lever is interrupted. Additionally, a pin at the trigger sear lever is caught in a slotted hole in the wall of the base box. When a shot is fired, the striker member overcomes a detent at the end of the catch lever because the catch lever can yield in the downward direction. During loading or repeating, the striker member is retracted, and the catch lever is again supported by the trigger sear lever (independently of whether a cocked or uncocked condition prevails).

Abstract: In a cartridge feeding device for a repeating rifle, a magazine well is provided in the breech casing in front of the rear barrel end underneath the rear end. Toward the rear, a guide housing is arranged behind the magazine well, this housing has an opening at the top in a zone behind a breech head of the rifle and, in a rearward half of this opening, two mutually opposed holding lips, the mutual spacing (a) of the latter being somewhat smaller than the case diameter of the cartridge. A loading plate is pivotably mounted in the guide housing, this plate being pivotable upwardly under spring action. The magazine box exhibits at the top an opening extending over its entire length and, in the region of this opening, two mutually opposed magazine lips.

Abstract: A firearm including a barrel holder for accommodating interchangeable barrels. A breechblock housing, connected to a stock, includes in a forward zone thereof, a recess having an abutment surface for absorbing recoil forces, with the barrel including a tubular member fixedly connected to a rear end thereof and including an extension fitting into the recess. The tubular member has a relatively large axial length and extends forwardly from a locking mechanism beyond a cartridge chamber of the firearm. The extension is provided at the rear end of the tubular member, and the abutment surface has an undercut portion partially extending over the extension from above. A downwardly projecting second extension is provided at the front end of the tubular member, with the second extension including a locking bolt recess. The breechblock housing extends up to a zone of the second extension and carries, at that location, a locked bolt cooperating with the locked bolt recess.
