ABSTRACT:
A safety device for a bolt action firearm has a laterally extending lock pin which is movable laterally to engage a recess in the cocking lug of the striker to prevent the striker from moving forward despite sear release by the trigger mechanism. An operating lever is movable rearward from a forward position in which the firearm may be discharged, rotating a helical cam which moves the lock pin laterally into the recess in the cocking lug. When the lever is moved further rearward, a cam on the operating lever pivots a blade upward into a groove in the bolt to prevent rotation of the bolt.
