The invention relates to a breech system for a firearm, having a bolt receiver and a bolt; the bolt receiver is embodied in the form of a hollow cylinder at least with engagement means protruding radially inward and there is also at least one bolt head, which has outward-protruding engagement means that correspond to the inward-protruding engagement means; the bolt head is supported in rotary fashion on a bolt carrier and there is also a bolt body, which is able to slide on a bolt head shaft of the bolt head, and between the bolt body and the bolt carrier, there is at least one compression spring, which tends to move the bolt body in the direction toward the bolt head; and on the bolt head shaft and on the bolt body, there are means that produce a rotation of the bolt head when the bolt body is slid on the bolt head shaft.

Firearms and bolt carriers having a bolt head including a bolt head axis and a plurality of locking lugs, wherein at least two recesses having a radius, measured with respect to the bolt head axis, are formed on the bolt head between at least two adjacent locking lugs. To improve the guidance of the bolt head, at least two centering ramps, which are designed obliquely to the bolt head axis and protrude in the axial direction toward the rear up to a central radius that is greater than the radius, for self-centering the bolt head during the bolt process are formed in the region of the recesses.

A rifle has a fixed main body including a barrel, a receiver with an upper opening, and a breech element. A carriage assembly is axially movable between an advanced shooting configuration and a retracted rearming configuration, and vice versa. The carriage assembly includes an assembly body positioned on the receiver at the upper opening, which is axially slidably movable, having a through housing extending transversally, a firearm handle with an outer portion grippable and an inner portion shaped for complementarily housing in the through housing, being insertable both sides, and a shutter group partially accommodated in the assembly body, including a shutter body and a shutter head. The shutter head is mountable onto the shutter body in first and second angular positions, which are reciprocally inverted. The rifle is configurable for a right-handed or a left-handed person by changing the position of the firearm handle and the shutter head.

A bolt carrier group for a firearm includes a bolt carrier, a bolt, and a cam pin. The bolt carrier includes a medial portion and a first and second outer portion. The bolt carrier slidably couples with a first elongated member at the first outer portion and a second elongated member at the second outer portion. The bolt is received within an inner volume of the bolt carrier. The cam pin is coupled with the bolt. The cam pin is positioned at least partially within the inner volume of the bolt carrier and extends through a top surface of the bolt carrier. The cam pin and the bolt are translatable and pivotable relative to the bolt carrier between a first position and a second position. The cam pin is configured to engage a recess of the second outer portion of the bolt carrier when in the first position.

Firearms, and components of firearms, improve shooting accuracy and tolerance to debris/elements that may enter the receiver during use of the firearm in the field. The outer surface of the barrel and the receiver inner surface, and/or the bolt lugs and the receiver inner surface may feature tight-tolerance or press-fit mating, to enhance axial alignment for shooting accuracy. The bolt lugs may be configured to provide said tight-tolerance mating with the receiver when in the loaded and locked position, but may also be configured to provide space for accommodating debris/elements that enter the firearm so that bolt movement is not hindered by the debris/elements, and operation of the bolt, including cycling of the bolt in the firearm action when the shooter goes to load the next round, is smooth and consistent.
