(54) Inactivating selector arrangement for bolt firearms


(57) A multiple positionable selector arrangement for a bolt action firearm positioned adjacent the bolt handle (14) which selector (26) carries a cam (46) and a selector handle. Associated with the selector (26) are trigger restraining means and a bolt handle blocking plunger means (15). The selector arrangement (26) is movable to a first active position to cause the trigger restraining means (15) to restrain the trigger (22) and sear (32) so the firearm cannot be discharged and the selector arrangement (26) is movable to a second active position to cause the plunger (52) means to restrain the bolt handie (14). In the second position, the selector handle (26) also serves to prevent substantial forward movement of the cocking piece (17).
