German term

Raststollen

German to English Tech/Engineering firearms
"Wenn ein Raststollen, der an der Unterseite des Verschlusses ausgebildet ist, über den Abzugsstollen hinweggelaufen ist, dann schnappt dieser nach open and hinterstellt den Raststollen. Die Waffe ist nun gespannt und feuerbereit."

I am having trouble with "Raststollen" and would appreciate your assistance.

Many thanks in advance,

Allan Wier

sear catch

The main cocking lever has an arm extending through a cut in the underside of the compression tube which picks up the piston and forces it and its spring back to let the sear catch and hold the piston at the end of cocking stroke.

Arrived at this term by deduction: Stollen= arm, rast= einrasten (catch) ggogled for sear catch>>voila!

Maybe this will help

I can't find Raststollen anywhere but Raststift is: stop pin, latch pin, drop-in pin, plunger pin

I wonder if it's the same thing?
