Hunting or sporting weapon having a fore-end (forend, forearm)

摘要

The fore-end (1) is structurally separate from the rear-end and is connected to the barrel (4) and to the breech box (5) by means of the two attachment points (2) and (3). The front attachment point (2) is constructed to be elastically sprung by means of the spring (9) so that any changes in the length of the fore-end as a result of different humidity (moisture) do not result in any significant forces acting on the barrel (4). Such actions by forces could deform the barrel and reduce the hit probability (weapon accuracy). <IMAGE>
