Breech for repeater shotgun has a radially sprung catch to limit the movement of the breech and to provide a controlled friction force

摘要

A simplified breech design for a repeater shotgun has the breech movement limited by a radially sprung catch which also provides a retarding friction action as the breech moves forward to the next firing position. The breech action is thus softened and is hardly noticed by the user. The catch also secures the firing pin during loading.
