ABSTRACT:
The fixation of the barrel housing to the breech housing in a break-open gun is controlled by a top lever breechblock, the bottom of which carries, in a groove, countersunk, a connecting member with an eccentric tenon in a displaceable fashion, the tenon being insertable in one of two bores in a control part, and the control part driving the breechblock wedge or wedges, wherein at least one spring between the control part and the breechblock wedge absorbs, when the control wedge is not worn, a distance increment so that the breechblock lever during locking can always go back into a central position. The gun can readily be refitted from a right-hand shooter to a left-hand shooter: the connecting member is rotated by 180.degree. and inserted in the opposite bore, the spring stop is likewise turned, and the breech spring is exchanged with the pressure bolt and the stop bolt.
