ABSTRACT:
An apparatus including an illumination member cooperative with a mechanical bolt, whereupon in a lowered position the apparatus effects blockage of an associated trigger of the firearm within the firearm mechanism while in a raised second position and effects electrical contact to further effect illumination of an indicator to provide visual indication of the firearm in a selective firing position. Alternatively, the mechanism may be oriented to effect illumination during the safety being in an engaged position with the associated trigger. Further modifications of the invention include a selective cover to overlie the illumination member, as well as a selective polarized lens support member to permit orientation of a variety of lenses into operative association with the illumination member to accommodate various light conditions in a shooting environment. Further, the battery supply mechanism for the instant invention may be movably mounted within the stock to effect selective balancing of the gun in use of the battery supply.
