Adjustable cartridge chambering mechanism

Abstract

An adjustable cartridge chambering mechanism for a lever action rifle. The cartridge chambering mechanism provides a lifting arm and the lifting arm provides an adjustment screw which adjustably speeds up the operation of the cartridge chambering mechanism by adjustably shortening the arc length of the required lever action.

1 . An adjustable screw inserted into the body of the lifting arm of a cartridge chambering mechanism for a lever action rifle, wherein the head of said adjustable screw provides a stop to the cocking motion of said lever.  
   
   
       2 . The adjustable screw of  claim 1  wherein said adjustable screw is inserted through said body of the lifting arm and wherein that portion of the threads of said adjustable screw extending below said body of the lifting arm serves to raise said body of the lifting arm above the interior surface of the action housing of said rifle.  
   
   
       3 . A lever powered cartridge chambering mechanism for a firearm wherein said cartridge chambering system provides an adjustable stop for the cocking motion of said lever.  
   
   
       4 . The lever powered cartridge chambering mechanism of  claim 3  wherein said cartridge chambering system provides an adjustable increase in the height of said cartridge chambering system's lifting arm above said firearm's action housing.  
   
   
       5 . The lever powered cartridge chambering mechanism of  claim 3  wherein said cartridge chambering mechanism provides a lifting arm and wherein said lifting arm provides means for adjustably shortening said lever's operating arc length.
