Feeding The recoil stroke concludes when the Buer halts the Bolt Carrier
Group. The Recoil Spring, compressed during the recoil stroke, drives
the bolt carrier group forward commencing the counter-recoil stroke.
As the Bolt Carrier returns forward the next round is stripped from
the top of the Magazine and directed into the chamber by the feed
lips of the magazine and the feed ramps
Chambering As the bolt carrier group continues the counter-recoil stroke the
round is seated in the chamber.
Locking As the bolt carrier group completes the counter recoil stroke the bolt
rotates, locking into the barrel extension. The bolt carrier group is
now again in battery.
4.7 OPERATING CYCLE
The following describes the operating cycle of the R.E.P.R. in semi-
automatic mode.
Firing When the Trigger is depressed, the sear is disengaged from the
Hammer allowing the hammer to be driven by the Hammer spring
to strike the Firing Pin. The Firing Pin strikes the primer, ring the
chambered round.
Unlocking Propellant gasses are tapped o at the gas port and travel trough the
gas block to the nozzle. This gas drives the piston cup back from the
nozzle, in turn driving the operating rod to strike the carrier key. This
initiates the rearward movement (recoil stroke) of the Bolt Carrier
Group. As the Bolt Carrier travels to the rear, the Cam Pin rotates the
Bolt, thus unlocking it from the barrel extension.
Extraction As the Bolt Carrier Group continues through the recoil stroke the
expended cartridge is drawn from the chamber by the extractor.
Ejection Once the expended cartridge is clear of the chamber it is ejected
from the weapon by the spring loaded Ejector.
Cocking Semi -As the Bolt Carrier Group continues to the rear it cocks the
Hammer which is initially retained by the Disconnector. As the
shooter disengages the trigger, the Disconnector releases the
hammer allowing it to be captured by the Trigger (this is known as
Reset).
Auto - As the bolt carrier group continues to the rear it cocks the
hammer which is retained by the auto sear. Concurrently the rear
of the bolt carrier will trip the auto sear releasing the hammer and
ring the round. When the trigger is depressed and held, the weapon
will cycle continuously through the ring sequence until the trigger
is released or the magazine is depleted. When the user releases the
trigger, the hammer is caught by the hammer/trigger engagement
surface and does not allow the weapon to re again until the trigger
is pulled.
