Benefits of technology

[0005] The task of the invention is to create a gun of the type mentioned in the introduction, which enables a precise and extremely stable connection of the stock and barrel with a reduced number of individual parts.
[0007] In the gun according to the invention, the stock consists of a buttstock and a forestock, which is connected detachably to this buttstock and which consists of a one-piece profiled body with integrated barrel haft. Thus, the barrel can be guided and supported in the forestock without separate connecting bridges or holding elements. In this way, the number of parts in the gun can be reduced and the assembly expense can be reduced. In addition, an extremely precise and position-stable connection between the stock and the barrel is enabled. Through the reduced number of individual parts and the lower assembly expense, the manufacturing costs can also be further decreased.
[0008] In an especially preferred configuration of the invention, the profiled body, from which the forestock is created, also includes an integrated front-sight support for mounting a front-sight tunnel or a corresponding targeting device. This configuration can prevent errors in the coaxial alignment, which can appear, e.g., when a front-sight support is screwed or clamped on.
[0009] In another advantageous configuration, a guide rail is also integrated in the one-piece profiled body. In this way, additional attachments, such as a hand support, a hand stop, or the like, can be mounted easily and reliably without additional elements on the forestock.
[0012] The forestock consisting of the profiled body is connected to the buttstock in a positive fit. For accurate positioning, the connection between the forestock and the buttstock can be guaranteed, e.g., by a screw connection. Any assembly cut-outs in the buttstock are covered by the special shape of the forestock in the assembled state.

Problems solved by technology

However, the manufacture and also especially the assembly of the barrel holder, the barrel jacket, and the front-sight support require a high degree of accuracy and great precision, which is associated with a correspondingly high expense in terms of time and costs.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] The compressed-air gun shown schematically in an exploded view in FIG. 1 contains a buttstock 1, a forestock 2 connected detachably to this buttstock, and a barrel 3, which is guided and supported in the forestock 2. The buttstock 1 consists of a molded body with a rear end part 4 bent downwards and a front holder part 5, which is integrated with a trigger and firing mechanism with a trigger lever 6 and a shot valve 7. The loading and system parts and the like, which are not shown in detail, are also housed in the front holder part 5 of the buttstock 1. The trigger parts, loading parts, the shot valve, and the rear end of the barrel are mounted directly in or on the buttstock 1. Thus, e.g., the shooting pressure chamber or firing pin guide is formed directly as a hole in the buttstock 1. Likewise, the trigger mechanism is integrated directly in the buttstock 1. Therefore, a separate trigger housing is not necessary. Also, the adjustment devices for the trigger are mounted dir...

Abstract

A gun, such as a rifle, and especially a sports gun, is composed of a stock, a barrel, and a trigger and firing mechanism. To enable a precise and extremely stable connection of the stock and barrel with a reduced number of individual parts, the stock includes a buttstock and a forestock connected detachably to this buttstock, with the forestock being a one-piece profiled body with an integrated barrel jacket.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to a gun, such as a rifle, and especially a sports gun. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] In modern guns for sports competitions, the gun stock usually consists of a complex molded stock body processed several times from one piece made of wood or light metal, on which, if desired, various stock attachments, such as a handle, a cheek support, a stock cap, additional weight, and the like can be mounted. The gun barrel is typically supported by a separate barrel holder mounted on the stock, e.g., in the form of a connecting bridge, or by a barrel jacket that can be mounted separately on the stock. The front-sight support is also generally embodied as a separate component and must be mounted on the barrel. However, the manufacture and also especially the assembly of the barrel holder, the barrel jacket, and the front-sight support require a high degree of accuracy and great precision, which is associated ...
