Bolt stop with a locking device for an automatic firearm, and a grip stock and receiver equipped therewith
The invention relates to a bolt stop for an automatic firearm comprising a bolt stop lever that can be moved between a release position and a catch position, and a locking device that can be moved between a standby position and a locking position, for selectively securing the bolt stop lever in the release position, wherein the locking device is disengaged with the bolt stop lever when in the standby position, and is engaged in with the bolt stop lever when in the locking position, the bolt stop lever deactivated in the locking position.
1. A bolt stop for an automatic firearm, the bolt stop comprising:
a bolt stop lever movable between a bolt release position and a bolt catch position; and
a locking device movable between a standby position and a locking position, the locking device in the standby position disengaged from the bolt stop lever such that the bolt stop lever is selectively enabled to move from the bolt release position to the bolt catch position and from the bolt catch position to the bolt release position, the locking device in the locking position engaged with the bolt stop lever such that the bolt stop lever is deactivated and secured in the bolt release position, the locking device including a locking element adapted to be held in place by insertion of a spring-loaded retaining element into the locking element when the locking device is in the standby position and in the locking position.
2. The bolt stop according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element can be displaced longitudinally counter to a direction of firing.
3. The bolt stop according to claim 2 , wherein the bolt stop lever includes a recess with which the locking element engages when the locking device is in the locking position.
4. The bolt stop according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element can be displaced longitudinally in a grip stock or a receiver in and counter to a direction of firing.
5. The bolt stop according to claim 4 , wherein the locking element is flush with the receiver or the grip stock.
6. The bolt stop according to claim 5 , wherein the locking element is adapted to be secured in or on the grip stock or in or on the receiver when the locking device is in the standby position and in the locking position.
7. The bolt stop according to claim 5 , wherein the locking element is supported on an axle inside the grip stock or the receiver.
8. The bolt stop according claim 7 , wherein the locking element includes a form spring having at least one elastic segment.
9. The bolt stop according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element encompasses at least a portion of the bolt stop lever when the locking device is in the locking position.
10. The bolt stop according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element includes a non-slip surface.
11. The bolt stop according to claim 1 , wherein the spring-loaded retaining element is in a first recess of the locking element when the locking device is in the standby position, and the spring-loaded retaining element is in a second recess of the locking element when the locking device is in the locking position.
12. The bolt stop according to claim 1 , wherein the spring-loaded retaining element moves in a transverse direction relative to the locking element.
13. A firearm grip stock for an automatic firearm, the firearm grip stock comprising:
a bolt stop lever movable between a bolt release position and a bolt catch position; and
a locking device movable between a standby position and a locking position, the locking device in the standby position disengaged from the bolt stop lever such that the bolt stop lever is selectively enabled to move from the bolt release position to the bolt catch position and from the bolt catch position to the bolt release position, the locking device in the locking position engaged with the bolt stop lever such that the bolt stop lever is deactivated and secured in the bolt release position, the locking device including a locking element adapted to be held in place by insertion of a retaining element into the locking element when the locking device is in the standby position and in the locking position.
14. The firearm grip stock according to claim 13 , further including at least one guide segment for guiding the locking element in walls of the firearm grip stock.
15. The firearm grip stock according to claim 13 , wherein the bolt stop lever includes a recess with which the locking element engages when the locking device is in the locking position.
16. The firearm grip stock according to claim 13 , further including at least one recess in a wall of the firearm grip stock facing a magazine well, which passes through the locking element when the locking device is in the locking position.
17. The firearm grip stock according to claim 13 , further including at least one recess for receiving and guiding the retaining element.
18. A firearm receiver for an automatic firearm, the firearm receiver comprising:
a bolt stop lever movable between a bolt release position and a bolt catch position; and
a locking device movable between a standby position and a locking position, the locking device in the standby position disengaged from the bolt stop lever such that the bolt stop lever is selectively enabled to move from the bolt release position to the bolt catch position and from the bolt catch position to the bolt release position, the locking device in the locking position engaged with the bolt stop lever such that the bolt stop lever is deactivated and secured in the bolt release position, the locking device including a locking element adapted to be held in place by insertion of a spring-loaded retaining element into the locking element when the locking device is in the standby position and in the locking position.
