A receptacle for collecting casings ejected from a firearm applied with a magazine includes a housing having an upper opening, a lower opening, and an interior defined within the housing between and in communication with the upper and lower openings. The upper opening is opened and can be mounted to be spaced apart from the ejection port of a firearm. A gate in the lower opening pivots between open and closed positions; the lower opening is closed when the magazine is received in the firearm and is opened when the magazine is removed from the firearm.

A lower receiver that may be right hand or left hand configurable is provided. The lower receiver includes a static ejector that can be easily configured for right hand or left hand positions within the same lower receiver and a magazine button assembly having a left magazine button and a right magazine button that are operatively coupled together so that either magazine button can be pushed to release the magazine. This allows the gun builder to use this one lower receiver to build a right or left handed rifle.

The invention relates to a firearm including a component carrier, a barrel having a cartridge chamber for accommodating a cartridge, and a slide that is supported on the component carrier in a longitudinally moveable manner and has a breech block for the barrel and a firing device for the cartridge. The slide bears an extractor for extracting a fired cartridge from the cartridge chamber. An ejector is supported on the slide in a longitudinally moveable manner, which ejector protrudes from the side into the extraction motion path of the cartridge and lies against a stop formed on the component carrier in the end phase of the rearward motion of the slide. The slide, together with the ejector, can be modularly replaced with a second slide having no ejector. For the second slide, said stop assumes the ejector function.

A case discharge device having a case ejector for ejecting a case or a misfire for a weapon having a bolt with a bolt head, wherein a munition is supplied to a weapon barrel of the weapon by the bolt and the case or the misfire is pulled out of the weapon barrel. The case discharge device is characterized in that, now, in the bolt head, there is situated a groove into which a case ejector which is static with respect to a weapon housing engages. During the return of the bolt, the case ejector which is static with respect to the weapon housing slides within the groove and engages on the bottom of the case in order to release the latter from the bolt and, after the release, discharge said case.
