DESCRIPTION AND TERMINOLOGY

Designed for hunting purposes, the BRNO EXPRESS over/under rifle is a long rifle with

two barrels, one above the other, that corresponds to the CIP regulations. The lower and the

upper barrels both have the same calibre. The design of the rifled barrels guarantees their

unchanged position of the point of impact due to their heating. This rifle consists of the

following main assemblies:

- Receiver

- Fore-end

- Barrel Assembly

Receiver

The receiver consists of the stock and the receiver which are connected by a screw. The

breech, firing and trigger mechanisms are installed inside the receiver. The breech mechanism

consists of the barrel hinge pins and the wedge operated by the top lever. The barrel assembly

is customized to the front plate and the side protrusions of the receiver. The actual locking is

provided by the wedge. The firing and trigger mechanisms consist of the cocking levers,

hammers, trigger levers, the trigger and safeties.

Fore-end

The fore-end consists of the bar and the fore-end itself. The fore-end is equipped with a

loop for a sling.

Barrel Assembly

The barrel assembly consists of two rifled barrels, which are screwed together to form a

group. The fore-end hook, the central bar, the rear sight base and the front sight base are

soldered to the upper barrel.

The lower rifled barrel is not fixed at the muzzle end to allow for thermal expansion. The

adjusting screws located on the central bar serve for adjusting the grouping of both barrels.

The parts of this firearm's action are made of structural steel. The surface of the steel

parts is protected by alkaline oxidation, while the trigger has a nickel treatment. The stock and

fore-end are made of walnut wood. The gripping surfaces are provided with checkering and

the wooden surface is impregnated with oil.
