  • Electronic set trigger
    Patent number: 4329803
    Abstract: An electronic set trigger is mounted in association with the mechanical firing mechanism of a rifle. The rifle may be fired in normal fashion through the normal mechanical linkage associated with a trigger lever. When a set trigger is desired, the electronic set trigger is activated by depressing a switch which activates a charging circuit to charge a capacitor carried within the firearm. The capacitor is discharged by pressing a switch associated with the trigger lever thereby discharging a capacitor through a solenoid coil associated with a reciprocating core mechanically linked to the trigger lever.
