The extractor is a long spring dovetailed to a split spring band fitted into and around the bolt cylinder. This serves as an excellent baffle to turn from the shooter's eye any primer or powder gases which may rush back through or around the bolt as a result of a punctured primer or split case. The forward face of the bolt sleeve is a flat surface at least twice the diameter of the bolt. Because the underside of the bolt sleeve has square shoulders which ride on the flat upper surface of the tang of the receiver it is then impossible to lift the bolt handle and the bolt is firmly locked in the closed position and in the "safe" position. Further rotation of the thumb lever to a horizontal position on the right side of the bolt sleeve leaves the locking flange still in the notch on the striker and also turns a segment on the forward end of the spindle into a recess on the rear of the bolt cylinder firmly locking the bolt cylinder to the bolt sleeve.
Forward travel of the striker is thus effectively blocked. Rotating the lever to the vertical position turns a flange on the spindle into a groove on the cocking piece, at the same time camming the striker slightly to the rear withdrawing the cocking piece nose from contact with the sear nose. Because of the crudity of manufacture and materials, this design cannot be recommended for American use.Ĭlear of the holt and cocking piece. The locking lugs are net cam cut to provide the customary primary extraction. Besides the dual locking lugs at the front end of the bolt cylinder, the handle locks down into its receiver scat forward of the bridge. This is a split bridge receiver action made with one piece bolt.
