Abstract: A bolt-action weapon includes a receiver rotatable about a longitudinal axis, a first gear component, a second gear component and a bolt-action lever. At its front end, the receiver has a non-rotating bolt head. The first gear component is attached to the rear end of the receiver in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the receiver rotates with the first gear component when the latter rotates. The second gear component lies at an angle to the first gear component and is in engagement with the latter for mechanical transmission of a rotational movement. The bolt-action lever is connected to the second gear component such that the bolt-action lever can rotate with it, whereby the bolt-action lever can be engaged in at least two functional positions. The bolt-action lever is movable back and forth in axial direction together with the two gear components and the receiver.

Abstract: A polypropylene composition containing glass fiber fillers, having a high Melt Flow Rate (MFR) and a good balance of mechanical properties. The compositions show excellent mechanical (high stiffness and ductility) and thermal properties (low shrinkage) while displaying a boost of the final MFR, notwithstanding the presence of glass fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drill rod store having a first storage area and a second storage area, in which a plurality of drill rod elements are in each case stored in horizontal alignment. Between the two storage areas a trough-shaped receiving part for a single drill rod element is provided. The trough-shaped receiving part is designed to deliver a single drill rod element. For this purpose, a joint supply means is provided, through which drill rod elements are supplied both from the first storage area and from the second storage area to the trough-shaped receiving part.
