A foldable pump-action rifle is disclosed to enable the pump-action rifle used in hunting to be created in a folding structure, thus providing ease of carriage wherein the feeding/unloading process of the cartridge is provided

A triple-barrel firearm includes three barrels in a triangular array mounted on a rear stock. The rear stock is connected to the firearm rearward of the firearm's trigger assembly by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly in turn, includes a locking member and a manually-activatable release member whereby the rear stock can be pivoted between a first “fire ready” position distal with respect to the trigger assembly and a second “storage” position proximal with respect to the trigger assembly. The locking member automatically locks the rear stock in the first position or the second position. The release member unlocks the locking member upon manual activation thereof to enable pivoting of the rear stock from the first position to the second position or vice versa. The rear stock further includes an opening for a retainer for firearm accessories.

A break-action firearm for high caliber ammunition is described. In some arrangements, the firearm is a rifle. The higher caliber ammunition may be, for example, fifty caliber ammunition. The firearm includes a barrel that is hingedly coupled to a lower portion of the firearm. A latching mechanism secures the barrel in a firing position and releases the barrel from the firing position. The barrel includes a screw-on breech cap that is threadedly coupled to the end of the barrel. The breech cap includes a firing pin. When an ammunition cartridge is loaded into the barrel, the screw-on breech cap is installed, and the barrel is secured in the firing position, a user can pull a trigger that causes a firing hammer to hit the firing pin thereby firing the ammunition cartridge.

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.
