ABSTRACT:
A rifle exhibits a cage axially movable in the barrel direction, a triggering system, except for the firing lever, being attached to this cage. Preferably, the cage is located within a base box through which extended cage axles are guided in slotted holes. By means of a safety including a cocking and, respectively, uncocking position, two conditions can be set from the rifle stock. In the safety position, the operative connection of the firing lever to a trigger sear lever is interrupted. Additionally, a pin at the trigger sear lever is caught in a slotted hole in the wall of the base box. When a shot is fired, the striker member overcomes a detent at the end of the catch lever because the catch lever can yield in the downward direction. During loading or repeating, the striker member is retracted, and the catch lever is again supported by the trigger sear lever (independently of whether a cocked or uncocked condition prevails). The safety slide can be mounted to the stock of the rifle in any position desired by the rifleman. On account of the optimum position at the neck of the stock, the slide can be operated almost instinctively. However, it is also possible to provide a resilient safety handle at the bottom of the rifle stock; the rifle is cocked only once this safety handle has been pressed against the stock by the trigger hand. When the rifleman lets go of the firearm, the base box moves on its own into the rest position, and the rifle is automatically uncocked.
