AMBIDEXTROUS COCKING LEVER ASSEMBLY FOR KRISS -TYPE FIREMARM AND MAGAZINE LOCKING AND RELEASING ASSEMBLY

摘要

The invention relates to improvements in the design and operating mechanisms in a KRISS-type firearm, or a firearm employing a mobile mass. In one aspect, the invention is an improved cocking lever assembly comprising a main pin provided with a tenon (9) at one end (E), with a supporting compression spring (5), a cocking button (3), and a retention means (4), attached to a mobile mass (1). This assembly allows direct activation of the mobile mass (1) by the action of the operator's force on the cocking lever. Advantageously, this cocking lever assembly can be mounted indiscriminately on the right or the left of the mobile mass (1) and therefore of the firearm, according to the user's preference. This cocking lever assembly combines certain safety criteria with the option of ambidextrous use often preferred in modern firearms. In another aspect, the firearm is designed to accomodate and effectively lock and release larger or extended magazines. The releasing buttons are located on and can be operated from both sides of the frame.
