Abstract

A firearm includes a cocking lever, a shoulder-stock receptacle and a shoulder support having a shoulder stock configured to be joined by a connector to the shoulder-stock receptacle. A shoulder-stock adjuster is configured to adjust a position of the shoulder stock relative to the shoulder-stock receptacle along an adjustment axis. A cheek rest is mounted via a bearing on the shoulder stock so as to be movable in a direction parallel to the adjustment axis. A stop is disposed on the shoulder-stock receptacle so as to limit a movement path of the cheek rest towards a front of the firearm. At a position of the cheek rest defined by the stop of the shoulder-stock receptacle, the cocking lever does not collide with the cheek rest, even in a completely retracted state.

Claims (16)

1. A firearm, comprising:

a cocking lever movable to a completely retracted state to cock the firearm;

a shoulder-stock receptacle;

a shoulder support having a shoulder stock configured to be joined by a connector to the shoulder-stock receptacle;

a shoulder-stock adjuster configured to adjust a position of the shoulder stock relative to the shoulder-stock receptacle along an adjustment axis from a front position to an extended position;

a cheek rest mounted via a bearing on the shoulder stock so as to be movable in a direction parallel to the adjustment axis; and

a stop disposed on the shoulder-stock receptacle so as to limit a movement path of the cheek rest towards a front of the firearm,

wherein, at a position of the cheek rest defined by the stop of the shoulder-stock receptacle with the shoulder stock at the front position, the cocking lever does not collide with the cheek rest as the cocking lever is moved to the completely retracted state.

2. The firearm according to claim 1 , further comprising a force-application device configured to apply a force onto the cheek rest, the force being oriented parallel to the adjustment axis, the stop being releasable and the bearing being arranged such that movement of the shoulder stock from the front position to the extended position results in no relative movement of the cheek rest relative to the shoulder-stock receptacle.

3. The firearm according to claim 2 , wherein the force is oriented towards the front.

4. The firearm according to claim 1 , wherein the stop is stationary with respect to the shoulder-stock receptacle.

5. The firearm according to claim 1 , wherein a position of the stop relative to the shoulder-stock receptacle is adjustable in a direction parallel to the adjustment axis.

6. The firearm according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing includes a linear guide having a guide rail and a carriage that runs in or on the guide rail.

7. The firearm according to claim 6 , wherein the cheek rest is fastened to the carriage.

8. The firearm according to claim 1 , further comprising a cheek-rest adjuster configured to set at least one of a height and a slant of the cheek rest.

9. The firearm according to claim 1 , wherein the bearing is disposed on at least one side surface of the shoulder stock.
