A selective fire firearm may be provided having a fully automatic open bolt and a semi-automatic closed bolt mode of operation. The firearm may include a trigger group having a trigger prop that ensures that, when the trigger is released in the fully automatic open bolt mode, the bolt carrier stops in an open bolt position held by an open bolt sear. The trigger prop may include a foot that, following a first trigger pull in the fully automatic open bolt mode, slides under and props a rear end of the trigger in a position that allows the open bolt sear to catch the bolt carrier when the trigger is released and propped but prevents the trigger sear from engaging the hammer.

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.

A bolt control device for causing the bolt of a firearm to be held in a retained position after each round is fired, the bolt control device capable of being manipulated by the user to also release and return the bolt to a firing position so that the firearm may be used to fire an additional round.

The semiautomatic firearm comprises: a movable assembly (4) adapted to move against a return spring (10) by recovered energy resulting from pressure exerted when firing an ammunition (7), wherein the firearm comprises a stopper, a latch and a striker cooperating with a hammer (5) controlled by a trigger (6), at least one of a pivoting fork and a hammer used for locking the movable assembly in a compressed position of the return spring at a rear position of movement of the movable assembly, after each shot, an unlocking assembly (12) that is manually actionable and able to act on at least one of the pivoting fork and the hammer for releasing the movable assembly (4) and allowing the assisted return of the movable assembly (4) in order for reloading.

A bolt stop actuator is disclosed. The actuator may include a lift arm, a first leg extending from a point proximate to an end of the lift bar and generally perpendicular therefrom, a second leg extending in the same direction from the lift bar as the first leg, and a projection extending from the lift bar and configured to contact a follower of an empty magazine when the bolt stop actuator is assembled into a firearm. Neither the first leg, nor the second leg, include apertures positioned distal to the lift arm.

A rifle has a fixed main body, including a barrel, a receiver with an upper opening, and a breech element. A trigger group is at least partially housed in the receiver, including a trigger, a hammer device operable by the trigger, and a safety member positionable in a shooting position, disengaged from the hammer device and in a safety position, engaged with and blocking the hammer device. A carriage assembly with a shutter group is positioned on the receiver at the upper opening and axially movable by the user between an advanced shooting configuration and a retracted rearming configuration. The carriage assembly includes a safety group controllable by the user, with the carriage assembly in the advanced configuration, in a ready-to-shoot configuration, in which it is disengaged from the safety member, and a safety configuration, in which it engages and keeps the safety member in the safety position.

One example control element for controlling a breechblock stop lever that can move about a first axis of rotation, which can be moved between a standby position for releasing a breechblock carrier and a retaining position for retaining the breechblock carrier, includes a first arm (15) that can rotate about a second axis of rotation (B), a first control section on the first arm, the first control section including a first contact surface (11a) and a second contact surface (11b) facing away from the first contact surface (11a), which can be rotated about the second axis of rotation (B) for the control element (10) by a control curve (36, 37, 38) on the breechblock carrier (30); and a second control section (13) on the first arm, wherein the second control section can be controlled by a control surface (55a) on a trigger (50). Other examples are possible.
