US12332014 - Foldable break barrel airgun

A foldable break barrel air gun that is movable from a stowed configuration to a use configuration. The foldable break barrel air gun includes a stock having a butt stock pivotally connected to a forestock in which a firing engine is located. A barrel having a muzzle end and a breech end is provided, with the barrel being pivotally connected to the forestock proximate the breech end. A cocking linkage has a first portion that is pivotally connected to the barrel and a second portion that is connected and/or engaged with the firing engine by a releasable linkage connection. With the releasable linkage connection released, the butt stock is foldable relative to the forestock, and the barrel is foldable relative to the forestock such that the butt stock is arranged in proximity to and preferably attachable to the barrel proximate to the muzzle end in the stowed configuration.
