Hello Folks

I have read that the locking system used on the Blaser and other european break action rifles is based on a 1906 patent. Is anyone able to provide a reference for the patent; patent number, inventor etc, or a schematic of how it functions.

Many thanks - Foster

Tentman.
The break open action you refer to is called the Simson- Jägerlock developed in Suhl in 1906 by Franz Jager and Simson Patent #209113.

It is perhaps one of the best brake open action.
The lockup and thrust of the cartridge is completely retained in the barrel. The action is cocked and uncocked with a thumb slide like safty unlike any other slide safty. It uncocks when the action is opened.

Pretty nice system and very accurate. It is also made as a SXS DG big bore double barrel rifle.$$,$$$.$$

Blaser uses two different bolting devices.
1. the tilting block or "Simson Jäger Kippblock" of 1906 Bud the BBF 95 and 97 do not have this catch that are the K77 and GB types

2. a Laufhakenverrigelung.

look on the hompage Blaser history
