Abstract (en)
A chamber-loaded indicator for firearms comprises a contact element (22) slidably housed within a bolt (10) of the weapon at least between a forward position, wherein it has a first end (22a) ending in the breech face, and a backward position affected by the cartridge (14) being present within the chamber (16). The contact element (22) is arranged inclined relative to a firing pin. An indicator element (24) is further provided to be rotatably mounted about a rotation axis (40) within a seat (20) of the bolt (10) and comprising an active portion (42) on which a second end (22b) of the contact element (22) acts. The active portion (42) is movable about the rotation axis (40) at least between a retracted position in which it remains within the bulk of the bolt (10) and an extracted position in which it signals that a cartridge (14) is present within the chamber (16) following the thrust applied by the contact element (22).
