Annex 2; Description
Self-loading long guns

The invention relates to self-loading long weapons with an exposed, self-supporting weapon housing (1) in conjunction with a pistol grip (2), in particular to the weapon types with brand names specified in the type-related supplementary list (Appendix)

In recent years, various semi-automatic rifle types, which were registered under the War Weapons Control Act (KWKG) for the purposes of hunting, sport shooting and weapons collecting, have been converted into self-loading long weapons for civilian use and can be purchased under the German Weapons Act. The types in question were exclusively long weapons with conventional stocks (8).

Since the weapons mentioned in the title are both war weapons and prohibited items under German law, i.e. they fall under the restrictive provisions of the KWKG and Section 37 Paragraph 1 of the Weapons Act, and under these laws practically no permits are issued to private individuals by the responsible authorities, the private acquisition of these interesting types of weapons, which are particularly important for weapons collectors, has so far been almost impossible.

My invention is based on the task of modifying the weapons mentioned in the generic term by removing the prohibition features specified by the authorities so that these weapons no longer fall under the War Weapons Control Act and the prohibition provisions of Section 37 Paragraph 1 of the Weapons Act and are thus treated the same as sporting (civilian) self-loading long guns.

This goal is achieved by:

- Modification of the guide track for the bolt by welding in additional steel parts so that an original (military weapon) bolt can no longer lock or assume the forward end position.

- Modification of the bolt so that it is no longer identical to the original war weapon bolt and is no longer functional in an unmodified military semi- or fully automatic rifle.

- Modification of the magazine well by welding in additional steel parts so that the insertion of an original, unmodified military weapon magazine with a capacity of more than five rounds is no longer possible.

- Shortening of the magazine so that due to its total length it is no longer possible to hold more than five cartridges.

- Pressing or shrinking a closed, cylindrical jetall sleeve onto the flash hider so that the gas outlet openings are no longer visible and effective.

Continuation of Annex 2:

This goal is achieved by:

- ^Removal of pistol grip (2) and shoulder stock (5) and attachment of a one-piece hole buttstock (3), which avoids the visual impression of a pistol grip piece (2) within the meaning of the prohibition of Section 37 Paragraph 1 of the Weapons Act and is adapted to the dimensions of the weapon housing parts (1).

Drawing D shows, as an example, the externally visible modifications to a Swiss assault rifle, SIG/AMT, in the .308 Win. caliber, compared to an unmodified weapon of the same type in its original condition.

Regarding claim II:

One or more additional steel parts are welded into the inside of the weapon housing, the purpose of which is to block the function of an original, unmodified bolt so that it can no longer lock. The bolt of the modified weapon is provided with a longitudinal groove corresponding to the dimensions of the steel part, which ensures that it can move freely longitudinally in the associated housing in accordance with its function. The steel parts can also be attached in the form of welding points.

Regarding claim III:

One or more additional steel parts are welded to the bolt in the area of the locking elements (bolt head), which are arranged in such a way that the modified bolt can no longer lock completely in an original (not modified) military weapon of the same type.

Regarding claim IV;

Welding of additional metal parts in the area of the inside of the magazine well of the weapon, which prevent an original, commercially available magazine with more than five shots from being pushed all the way into the well and locked into the holder. The modified magazines (shortened to five shots) are provided with a longitudinal groove, the length and width of which correspond to the location of the additional metal parts in the magazine well.

Regarding claim VI:

Creating a hole stock so that, with respect to the side view of the respective weapon in its original state, a connection is drawn between the grip base (4) and the lower edge of the shoulder rest (5) and this resulting compact surface is broken through by a hole (6) which is positioned in such a way that the front part (7) of the hole stock can be gripped with the thumb. Starting from this side view, a suitable hole stock is made of wood or plastic, taking into account the structural conditions of the weapon housing and grip of the respective weapon type.

Sheet 3

The achievable advantages of my invention, in particular of claim III, are that the weapons modified according to my claims can be purchased by any authorized license holder and used for shooting sports purposes.
