Test and Proof Fixture

Universal proof fixture for rifles

Standard proof fixture for rifles

Proof fixture for pistols and revolvers

 

We can offer two fixtures for rifles and one for pistols and revolvers, which have already proofed their performance in the field. All three are used in a German proof house for a few years.

Universal fixture
for rifles
 

This proof and testfire fixture allows due to its patented design a secure hold of the rifle without any risc of scratches or any damage to the surface. No matter if it is an expensive double barrel rifle with engraving and carving on the stock or the high power .50 BMG rifle, they will be held securely without special adapter.

The rifle is pushed in a tunnel, where pneumatic activated rubber pads hold the firearms. Due to these pads the rifles surface will not be harmed. They cover a wide area and hold firearms of the biggest calibers securely during the testfiring. With an optional remote trigger device the operator can fire the gun from a safe place.

 

Fixture with additional rails to guide the fixture into a safety chamber.

 

Length of the rubber tunnel............: 200 mm
Diameter of the rubber tunnel........: 80 mm
Operating pressure.........................: 4 bar

The system operates with compressed air and requires a pressure of about 4 bar. Should compressed air not be available in your range a small inexpensive compressor can be supplied as an optional item.

Universal fixture
for pistols and revolvers
 

Holding the different typs of pistols or revolvers requires a very universal fixture. An additional problem is the function of the firearm which requires a realistic damping of the recoil. This is achieved by this special fixture as it moves backwards and upwards like a human wrist .

 

The pistol is held by two pneumatic actuated rubber pads. Under recoil the complete assembly is moving backwards straight but because of the design of the fixture it can turn upwards like a human wrist if a heavier recoil requires this. To avoid any torque the barrel or slide is supported on the upper surface by a V-shaped roller.

This fixture has proven under work conditions in a German proof house that it will hold and testfire pistols and revolvers up to the strongest caliber i.e. .50 Action Express .

The System operates with compressed air and requires a pressure of about 4 bar. Should compressed air not be available in your range a small inexpensive compressor can be supplied as an optional item.
