Sako Finnfire II
Sako Finnfire II is a bolt action rifle made by Finnish firearms manufacturer Sako since 2014. Even if the Finnfire II is related namewise to the older Sako Finnfire from 1996, it technically has a mix of features from the Sako Finnfire and the newer Sako Quad. The receiver has many similarities with the Quad, but the barrel interface to the receiver is neither similar to the quick change barrel system of the Quad nor the threaded interface of the Finnfire. Instead of using two cross bolts like on the Finnfire, the Finnfire II uses a cross pin such that the barrel is not easily swapped by the user. The bolt has two locking lugs and a 50 degree bolt lift. Factory barrels are available chambered in either .17 HMR or .22 LR, and have rifling twists of 229 mm (1:9") and 419 mm (1:16"). The muzzle is threaded from the factory (1/2"-20 threads, which corresponds to approximately 12.7 x 1.270 mm in metric designation). The rifle has an adjustable single stage trigger with w ...

Repeating Rifle
A repeating rifle is a single- barreled rifle capable of repeated discharges between each ammunition reloads. This is typically achieved by having multiple cartridges stored in a magazine (within or attached to the gun) and then fed individually into the chamber by a reciprocating bolt, via either a manual or automatic action mechanism, while the act of chambering the round typically also recocks the hammer/striker for the following shot. In common usage, the term "repeating rifle" most often refers specifically to manual repeating rifles (e.g. lever-action, pump-action, bolt-action, etc.), as opposed to self-loading rifles, which use the recoil and/or blowback of the previous shot to cycle the action and load the next round, even though all self-loading firearms are technically a subcategory of repeating firearms. Repeating rifles were a significant advance over the preceding single-shot breechloading rifles when used for military combat, as they allowed a much grea ...

17 HMR
.17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire, commonly known as the .17 HMR, is a rimfire rifle cartridge developed by Hornady in 2002. It was developed by necking down a .22 Magnum case to take a .17 caliber (4.5 mm) projectile. Commonly loaded with a 17 grain (1.1 g) projectile, it can deliver muzzle velocities in excess of 775 m/s (2,650 ft/s). Development The .17 HMR round is similar to rounds developed by dedicated rimfire wildcatters who worked to create a rimfire cartridge with an exceptionally flat trajectory. These wildcatters were seeking to match the ballistics of the obsolete 5mm Remington Rimfire Magnum, which was made from 1970 to 1974, and was to that point the fastest rimfire cartridge ever produced. With 5 mm diameter barrels and bullets being virtually unavailable at the time (the 5mm RMR was the last commercial 5 mm round until the 2004 release of the centerfire .204 Ruger), the commercially available .17 caliber became their bullet of choice. The .22 Wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
22 LR
The .22 Long Rifle or simply .22 LR or 22 (metric designation: 5.6×15mmR) is a long-established variety of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition originating from the United States. It is used in a wide range of rifles, pistols, revolvers, smoothbore shotguns, and submachine guns. In terms of units sold it is by far the most common ammunition in the world today. Common uses include hunting and shooting sports. Ammunition produced in .22 Long Rifle is effective at short ranges, has little recoil, and is cheap to purchase, making it ideal for training. History American firearms manufacturer J. Stevens Arms & Tool Company introduced the .22 Long Rifle cartridge in 1887. The round owes its origin to the .22 BB Cap of 1845 and the .22 Short of 1857. It combined the case of the .22 Long of 1871 with a bullet, giving it a longer overall length, a higher muzzle velocity and superior performance as a hunting and target round, rendering the .22 Extra Long cartridges obsolete. The .22 LR ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bolt Action
Bolt-action is a type of manual firearm action that is operated by ''directly'' manipulating the bolt via a bolt handle, which is most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the weapon (as most users are right-handed). Most bolt-action firearms use a rotating bolt design, where the handle must first be rotated upward to unlock the bolt from the receiver, then pulled back to open the breech and allowing any spent cartridge case to be extracted and ejected. This also cocks the striker within the bolt (either on opening or closing of the bolt depending on the gun design) and engages it against the sear. When the bolt is returned to the forward position, a new cartridge (if available) is pushed out of the magazine and into the barrel chamber, and finally the breech is closed tight by rotating the handle down so the bolt head relocks on the receiver. Bolt-action firearms are generally repeating firearms, but some single-shot breechloaders also use bolt-action desi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dovetail Rail
A dovetail rail or dovetail mount can refer to several types of sliding rail system found on firearms primarily for mounting telescopic sights. Colloquially, the term ''dovetail rail'' usually refer to any straight mounting bracket with an inverted trapezoid (dovetail) cross-section (though the hexagonal-profiled Weaver rail and Picatinny rail are also derivative dovetail designs) running parallel to the bore for mounting a scope or diopter sight to a rifle. These are sometimes also called "tip-off" mounts, and allow the user to easily take on or off the sight. ''Dovetail mount'' can also refer to a dovetail track running perpendicular to the bore (see "Other uses" below). Dovetail rails for rifles Dovetails come in several different types and sizes depending on manufacturer, but the most common are the 11 mm and inch (9.5 mm). Some other less known, but currently commercially available dovetail mounts, are 12, 13, 13.5, 14, 14.5, 16, 16.5, 17 and 19 mm, ...

Sako Finnfire
Sako Finnfire, also known as the Sako Finnfire P94S, is a bolt action rifle made by Finnish firearms manufacturer Sako. The rifle was introduced in 1996, and is no longer in production. The Finnfire was largely based on the Finnscout 78, and also shared some parts with the TRG-S (M995) centerfire series of rifles. One of the main differences compared to the Finnscout 78 was that many of the steel parts on the Finnscout 78 had been replaced with plastic parts, such as for example the trigger guard and the magazine. The rifle had an adjustable single stage trigger where the pull weight could be set between 1–2 kg with a similar design as the TRG-S series. The Finnfire was first launched in the Hunter version, which was followed by the larger Varmint version with a wider forend and heavier barrel. The even larger Range version was added later. All the versions came with walnut stocks and a free floating barrel. The Hunter version had the slimmest stock, while the Varmint ve ...

Sako Quad
Sako Quad is a bolt-action rifle made by the Finnish firearms manufacturer Sako. Quad is delivered in many configurations, and has a quick change barrel system which lets the user swap barrels using a 5 mm hex key. The bolt lift is 50 degrees. Sako Quad factory barrels are delivered chambered for .17 Mach 2 (.17 HM2), .22 LR, .17 HMR and .22 WMR. There are two types of magazines, one type for the shorter .17 M2 and .22 LR, and another for .17 HMR and .22 WMR. Visually, the Sako Quad has many similarities with Sako Finnfire. The Quad is delivered with a blued receiver and barrel, and the barrels are color coded according to their chambering. In cooperation with Sako, Burris has developed a scope sight with corresponding color coding on its elevation turret to match the ballistics of the different cartridges. The stock is available in either wood or synthetic material. The synthetic stock is available with a rubberized grip. The trigger is adjustable from 500 g to 2000&nb ...

Modular Weapon System
A modular weapon system (MWS) is any weapon equipment which has removable core components (or " modules") that can be reconfigured/interchanged to give the weapon different capabilities to adapt to various applications. Modularity can provide several advantages to military organizations, such as the versatility of allowing units to quickly tailor their weapons to best suit the immediate tactical needs, to quickly repair/exchange malfunctioned components, and to reduce overall logistical burdens and costs. However, it also make the legal tracking and technical categorization of a weapon more complicated as it can now be easily converted into a diverse variety of different forms.* For example, the Stoner 63 is a 5.56×45mm NATO-caliber modular small arm system using a variety of modular components, which can be configured as a rifle, a carbine, a top-fed light machine gun, a belt-fed squad automatic weapon, or a vehicle mounted weapon. A modular firearm can also be useful fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trigger (firearms)
A trigger is a mechanism that actuates the function of a ranged weapon such as a firearm, airgun, crossbow, or speargun. The word may also be used to describe a switch that initiates the operation of other non-shooting devices such as a trap, a power tool or a quick release. A small amount of energy applied to the trigger leads to the release of much more energy. Most triggers use a small flattened lever (called the ''trigger blade'') depressed by the index finger, but some weapons such as the M2 Browning machine gun or the Iron Horse TOR ("thumb-operated receiver") use a push-button-like thumb-actuated trigger design, and others like the Springfield Armory M6 Scout use a squeeze-bar trigger similar to the "ticklers" on medieval European crossbows. Although the word "trigger" technically implies the entire mechanism (known as the ''trigger group''), colloquially it is usually used to refer specifically to the trigger blade. Most firearm triggers are "single-action", ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
