A firearm includes a receiver, a forearm pivotally attached to a distal end of the receiver, and a barrel having a barrel extension. A proximal end of the barrel and the barrel extension are secured within the forearm such that the barrel and barrel extension are laterally pivotable with the forearm relative to the receiver between a first assembled position and a second folded position. The forearm, barrel, and barrel extension may be secured to the receiver in the first assembled position for use of the firearm, after which the firearm may be folded for storage and/or transportation.

Muzzleloader systems include a pre-packaged propellant charge and primer for providing efficient loading and unloading of the muzzleloader. The muzzleloader accepts in the breech end the propellant containment vessel that abuts against a constriction portion with a reduced diameter portion. The propellant containment vessel having an end portion with a tapered surface that conforms to the constriction portion surface. A projectile is inserted in the muzzle end and seats against the constriction portion. The propellant containment vessel may be received in a removable breech plug. The constriction portion may be part of the breech plug or a separate component secured in the barrel by way of the breech plug. The containment vessel further comprises a primer mechanism that may be integrated into the proximal end of the containment vessel.

A free-floating rifle rail and barrel locking system that provides a barrel assembly and rail assembly, which is detachable from the main body of a rifle without tools. This is advantageous for quick field breakdown and/or rifle modification. The user has the option to disassemble the rifle for easy transport, to change barrel length, to change barrel caliber or change rail configurations. The rails are free-floating, meaning the rails do not come in contact with the barrel and thus do not impact the precision of the rifle.

A folding stock with barrel toggle clamp has a body defining a receptacle adapted to receive the action, a clamp mechanism on the body operable to move between a released position and a clamped position, and the clamp mechanism operable to bias the barrel toward the receptacle to secure the barrel to the action. The clamp mechanism may be a multi-link linkage. One of the links may have an adjustable length. The clamp mechanism may include a lever that is flush against an external surface of the stock when in the clamped position. The clamp mechanism may include a V-block defining a channel adapted to receive a protrusion on the receiver and an angled surface on the barrel to clamp the barrel to the receiver. The clamp mechanism may include a lever pivotally connected to the body to pivot on a first horizontal axis lateral to the body.
