CPC F41A 3/66 (2013.01) [F41A 3/20 (2013.01)] | 12 Claims |
1. A rifle comprising:
i) a fixed main body, comprising a barrel which extends along an axis, a receiver comprising an upper opening, a breech element positioned at an axial end of said upper opening;
ii) a trigger group at least partially housed in the receiver comprising a trigger and a hammer device operable by the trigger;
iii) a carriage assembly, comprising an assembly body and a shutter group at least partially housed in said assembly body, wherein the carriage assembly is positioned on the receiver at the upper opening and is axially movable by a user between an advanced shooting configuration, in which the shutter group engages the breech element, and a retracted rearming configuration, in which the upper opening is open, and the shutter group is spaced apart from the breech element, and vice versa;
wherein, upon axial movement of the carriage assembly between the retracted configuration and the advanced configuration, the shutter group is first moved axially in translation and then is moved in roto-translation;
wherein the shutter group comprises a central body extending axially and a command pin protruding radially from said shutter body, wherein said command pin engages the assembly body so that said reciprocal interaction drives the shutter group in rotation; and
wherein the command pin is movable between a raised position and a lowered position, in which, in said raised position, the command pin prevents relative movement of the shutter group with respect to the assembly body.
