Definitions

  • a gun with smooth-bore barrel whatever its operating system, necessarily has feed (recocking) assemblies such as to cause, at every fired round, the passage of a new car­tridge from the magazine, generally tubular in shape, into the cartridge chamber of the barrel.
  • the gun will be termed semiautomatic in operation; if the passage occurs, at each fired round, manually, by means of the movement of the cocking rod, the gun will be termed manually or pump operated.
  • the backward opening stroke of the bolt assembly has always been used, in various manners, to synchronize the movements of the lever (or levers) for stopping the cartridge in the magazine, for the exit of a single cartridge at a time, with those of a lifter cup on which said cartridge is arranged, in exiting from the magazine, to be raised to a position suitable for introduction into the barrel.
  • feed systems suitable for the type of operation (semiautomatic or pump) with which the firearm is provided, generally comprising two levers for stopping the cartridge in the magazine and shaped so as to be moved by the bolt of the firearm, or even partly arranged directly on said bolt.
  • buttons mounted separ­ately, prepare the firearm, in a more or less complicated manner, for the manual passage of the cartridge in the barrel from the magazine or for the momentary locking of the cartridges in the magazine for changing the one in the barrel.
  • Simpler feed systems having a single cartridge stop lever, developed with the onset of the semi­automatic operating system of the firearm, but, mostly, are only operable with this operating system and do not allow the manual passage of the cartridges from the magazine to the cartridge chamber of the barrel of said firearm, unless highly complicated and delicate mechanisms are used.
  • the object of this invention is to overcome the limita­tions and the complexity of systems hitherto known by pro­viding a new feed assembly applicable to guns with different types of operation (semiautomatic, manual pump and combined: semiautomatic/pump) and capable of selecting, in a simple and safe manner, the exit of the cartridges from the magazine independently from the operating system of the firearm and without the need for preventive manual presetting.
  • a cartridge feeding assembly for delivering cartridges from a tubular magazine into the barrel of a smooth-bore firearm having a casing, a bolt slidable with respect to the casing, a lifter cup for the cartridge, a hammer and a trigger, the feeding assembly further comprising:
  • a fragmentarily illustrated rifle comprises a casing 33, a magazine 16, a trigger 17 protected by a guard 5, and a hammer 18.
  • the feed assembly substanivelytially comprises a cartridge descent lever 1, pivoted to the firearm on a pivot 2 and held in resting position, with its resting plane 3 against the abutment plane 4 provided on the guard 5, by a spring 6 pivoted on a pivot 7.
  • the spring 6 rests with its stem 8 on a tab 9 of the cartridge descent lever 1, and it exerts upon the tab a downward force so as to ensure the contact between the above described planes 3 and 4.
  • a hammer 18 When trigger 17 of the firearm is pulled (fig. 3), a hammer 18 is pushed by a spring 19 guided on a sliding bush 20 , and turns about its pivot 2 until it imparts to the firing pin 21 an energy sufficient to cause the explosion of the cartridge in the barrel 22 .
  • the cartridge 15 leaving the magazine tube 16 is forced (fig. 6) by the plane 32 of the casing 33 to slide along the plane 34 of the cartridge stop lever 12 .
  • This movement causes the cartridge stop lever 12 to turn anticlockwise on its pivot 13 , thus recompressing the return spring 27 until it returns to the position of fig. 2, i.e. with its front plane 14 in a position preventing the second cartridge 35 in the magazine from leaving the magazine 16 .
  • the plane 23 of the sliding bush 20 no longer pushes against the tab 24 of the cartridge descent lever 1 .
  • the descent lever 1 rotates on the pivot 2 until it returns to its rest position determined by the resting plane 3 on the abutment plane 4 of the guard 5.
  • the cartridge stop lever 12 prevents the exit of the second cartridge in the magazine, even when the cartridge 15 no longer rests on its flat 11, since the front plane 34 of said cartridge stop lever 12 makes contact with the side 29 of the lifter cup 30 which is moved into a raised position, such as to allow the introduction of said cartridge 15 in the barrel.
  • the said effect of pulling the trigger is valid whether the firearm has semiautomatic operation (regardless of the inertial, gas intake or recoiling barrel type), or it has manual pump-type operation or convertible operation (semi­automatic and/or manual pump).
  • the feed assembly is part of a firearm with manual pump operation or with "convertible" operation, (where the manual operation is also available), it is required that the cartridge passes, without pulling the trigger, from the magazine tube into the barrel, merely by opening the bolt of the firearm by means of its cocking rod.
  • Such short time (fig. 9-10) is sufficient to prevent the flat 10 of the cartridge descent lever 1 from continuing to act as rest for the flat 11 of the cartridge stop lever 12 .
  • the cartridge stop lever 12 no longer resting on the cartridge descent lever 1 , rotates (fig. 10) about its pivot 13 as an effect of the return spring 27 until its flat 28 rests on the side 29 of the lifter cup 30. Because of this rotation, the front plane 14 of the cartridge stop lever 12 no longer prevents the cartridge from exiting from the inside of the magazine tube.
  • the new cartridge feed system thus performs all its functions regardless of the type of operation of the firearm to which it can be applied.
  • the cartridge descent lever 1 is also provided with a tab 44 protruding, externally to the firearm, from the lower plane 45 of the guard 5 .
  • Said cartridge in positioning itself on the lifter cup, presses against the rear part of the cartridge stop lever causing it to rotate anticlockwise and preventing thereby the exit of a second cartridge from the magazine.
  • the lifter cup controlled by the bolt which, in the meantime, as an effect of the firing, has completed the retrograde opening stroke of the firearm extracting and expelling the case in the barrel, rises automatically, while said bolt returns to a closed position, raising the cartridge in a position suitable for the insertion into the chamber.
  • the new cartridge descent lever executes its rotational movement, as described in paragraph "A", by virtue of an adapted tab thereof on which the bolt acts during the retrograde opening motion obtained by means of the cocking rod (pump system).
  • the configuration of the new cartridge descent lever is such as to ensure the operation of the system both if the actuation for its rotation is imparted by the spring of the cock and if said actuation is imparted by the bolt.
  • a cartridge feed assembly is thus provided essentially composed of a new cartridge descent lever which, together with a cartridge stop lever which can be made integral therewith, simply and securely selects the exit of the cartridges from the magazine without the need for preventive adjustments and regardless of the operating system of the firearm, be it semiautomatic, of the manual pump type or combined (semiautomatic and/or manual pump type), all the movements of the new cartridge descent lever being in any case synchronized and compatible with the operating system of the firearm to which it can be coupled.
