Abstract

See full text

A breech cover interlock coordinates the motion of a breech cover with the motion of the fore end of a pump action firearm. The interlock features an action bar which is connected to the fore end and has a catch which is engaged by a latch mounted with the cover on a movable buttstock. Engagement between the catch and the latch prevents the buttstock and cover from moving and thereby exposing the firearm's breech while the firearm's action is in battery as evidenced by the position of the fore end. Motion of the fore end out of battery disengages the latch and catch and permits the cover to be moved out of overlying position with the breech to permit access to the breech to clear a malfunction.
