Animation of a lever tumbler lock mechanism. A lever tumbler lock is a type of lock that uses a set of levers to prevent the bolt from moving in the lock. [1] In the simplest form of these, lifting the tumbler above a certain height will allow the bolt to slide past.
Again, the term refers to the lock mechanism, so a lock can be both a mortise lock and a lever tumbler lock. In the modern lever tumbler lock, the key moves a series of levers that allow the bolt to move in the door. [5] Pin tumbler lock, commonly used for mortise locks in the US. The next major innovation to mortise lock mechanisms came in 1865.
A Chubb detector lock is a lever tumbler lock with an integral security feature, a re-locking device, which frustrates unauthorised access attempts and indicates to the lock's owner that it has been interfered with. When someone tries to pick the lock or to open it using the wrong key, the lock is designed to jam in a locked state until ...
A break action is a type of firearm where the barrel(s) are hinged and can be "broken open" to expose the breech. Multi-barrel break action firearms are usually subdivided into over-and-under or side-by-side configurations for two barrel configurations or "combination gun" when mixed rifle and shotgun barrels are used.
By reducing the number of components and using lighter materials, the M224A1 mortar system weighs at about 37.5 lbs (17 kg), which is 20% less with a reduction of 9.3 lb (4 kg) compared to the original M224. [3] The US Army plans to replace all legacy M224s with the new M224A1. [3]
Percussion caps have been manufactured in various sizes to fit snugly over different sized nipples. Nipples for 4.5mm and 6mm percussion caps. The percussion cap, percussion primer, or caplock, introduced in the early 1820s, is a type of single-use percussion ignition device for muzzle loader firearm locks enabling them to fire reliably in any weather condition.

The barrel is cut rifled with 6 grooves and depending on the model, either 520 mm (20.47 in), 560 mm (22.83 in), 620 mm (24.41 in) or 660 mm (25.98 in) long. [1] Just as in the M55, some models feature iron sights attached to the barrel; rear sight is an open notch and front sight is a hooded post. [ 1 ]
The Savage Impulse straight-pull rifle introduced in early 2021 features a similar locking mechanism as the SR 30. Besides differences in the applied control mechanisms a major technical difference between the locking mechanisms of the Heym SR 30 and Savage Impulse rifles is that the 6 'hexlock' hardened steel locking bearings of the Savage Impulse bolt head, lock into a machined half-round ...
