Patent ID: 10697731

Abstract:
A forend stock for a break open firearm having a housing lug, the housing lug being attached into the lower side of the barrel assembly. A coupler is secured onto the housing lug. At the coupler end opposite the housing lug rod, there is a cylindrical area, and between the two coupler ends, another finished area forming an extended flange. The extended flange has a larger diameter than the cylindrical ends of the coupler. A latch bolt is secured to the forend stock by a cover plate. The latch bolt is topped at one of its ends with a sharp bevel. At its other end, it has a cylindrical post to support a pressure spring, and is held in a longitudinal channel or recess, and arranged such that a user can access an actuator knob for manual handling of the latch bolt. The cover plate assembly has an aperture which the ledges of an extended protrusion of the latch bolt fit within, defining the forward and backward travel limits that the bolt can go in a direction parallel to the axial direction of the barrel.
