| Tip the end of the breechblock downward enough for the striker to slide out the back of the block. |
|
| Lowering the operating lever dropped the breechblock and extracted the spent cartridge. |
|
| Cleaning the No.1 is a cinch because the chamber, bore and face of the breechblock are so accessible. |
|
| The slide is made of a stamping of chrome moly steel, with a machined steel breechblock segment, and covered with a polymer shroud. |
|
| The extractors eject the cartridge case and retain the breechblock in the fully open position. |
|
| The mechanism combines the firing pin, a spring, and an extractor, all housed in a locking breechblock. |
|
| The key-wind coin silver pocket watch gun with hunting case..3mm, breechblock and mechanism replace the normal watch workings. |
|
| Octagonal eight-groove rifled barrel in 9.5 mm caliber with a patent breechblock. |
|
| The upward movement of lever ''A'' triggers the lowering of part ''B'' of the breechblock, the shock of this part on the ejector ''C'', provoking the ejection of the case, as long as the movement is fast and powerful. |
|
| The single-stud extractor that was integral to the breechblock often tore through the folded rim of the early copper cartridges. |
|
| Crewmen, springs that are too tight can be a bummer, especially if they happen to be the closing springs on your Paladin's breechblock. |
|
| Worn breech assembly components can cause the firing pin to protrude past the face of the breechblock. |
|
| The spring then pushed the breechblock forward, stripping a fresh cartridge from a magazine in the handgrip, and the toggle locked the breechblock once more against the barrel. |
|
| The essential deficiency of early breechloaders was the imperfect gas seal between breechblock and barrel, a problem that was not solved until the advent of the brass cartridge late in the 19th century. |
|
| In these rifles, pushing down a lever attached to the trigger guard lowered the entire breechblock, exposing the chamber, and raised the breechblock back to firing position when it was pulled back. |
|
| The ditches that surrounded it featured built-in scarps and counterscarps, flanked by caponniers armed with revolver cannons and 12 tonne breechblock canons. |
|
| This unlocked the breechblock from the barrel and allowed it to slide back on its own, extracting and ejecting the spent case, cocking the hammer, and compressing a coiled spring in the rear of the gun. |
|
| This section has two pieces extending to the rear, into which are housed the breechblock, the two toggle joint links, and the firing pin and sear assemblies. |
|
| The only thing missing from the tank is the cannon's breechblock. |
|
| An underlever that pivots a centrally located breechblock up-and-down? |
