ABSTRACT:
A lever action rifle having a breech bolt, an exposed hammer moveable between cocked and striking positions, an operating lever supported for movement between inactive and cocking and loading position for opening and closing the breech bolt and moving the hammer to cocked position, and a trigger moveable from a ready position to a firing position to release the hammer from cocked position to move to striking position includes a hammer blocking mechanism which allows the hammer to attain its striking position only in response to proper operation of the trigger. A trigger latching mechanism secures the trigger in its ready position when the operating lever is moved from its inactive position and also functions to releasably retain the operating lever in its inactive position.
