Group 2 Bolt assembly
The bolt assembly with the rotary bolt head is guided in the receiver.
The bolt assembly is driven by the gas piston and the recoil spring and
serves for feeding of the cartridges, locking of the chamber, cartridge
ignition, case extraction and ejection as well as for cocking of the
hammer.
The bolt head is retained in the bolt head carrier by the control bolt which
also controls its rotary movement
At its front the bolt head is provided with locking lugs. The spring-loaded
extractor is located in a gap between the locking lugs. Adjacent to the
extractor there is the sprig-loaded ejector.
The firing pin is retained by the cross pin.
A cocking lever on the front end of the bolt head carrier can be swiveled
to the left and to the right for actuation by both left and right handed
firers.
