Blaser R93 - the development of the German company of the same name, the design of this model began in the early 90s. The first prototype was presented in 1993, the initial version of the gun was intended for hunting. Subsequent modifications of the rifle are used in military sports shooting and in power structures of various countries.
general information
High quality rifles ensured by the use of durable polymeric and natural materials. High demand for these weapons is due to their durability and efficiency. The rifle is not just convenient, it gives the arrow a real pleasure with its successful design.
One of the main advantages of this model are its compact dimensions and low weight. This allows you to easily carry a carbine at any distance. Not only experienced hunters can use it, but also beginners, women and even teenagers.
During the creation and subsequent modifications, the designers were guided by numerous comments and wishes of the weapon lovers. Due to this, a sample turned out, almost without flaws. In its price category, the Blaser R93 is ahead of the competition in many ways, including accuracy and accuracy of shooting.
The main advantages of Blaser R93:

The owners use this gun to hunt small and medium-sized animals, entertaining and training shooting. Simple design makes it possible to get acquainted with the device of weapons of this class.
Device
The rifle uses a sliding bolt. Locking done by collet type. If necessary, in any conditions, you can replace the combat larva, which is located in the cylindrical collet. Ring groove placed behind the chamber in the breech of the gun. It takes a locking collet collet when locking. The device provides a scheme of a classic butterfly valve. The shutter handle can only be moved on its own axis. She rises and falls.
Recharging is carried out manually. To throw away the cartridge case, you need to pull the bolt back. As soon as it is thrown away, the bolt and handle are brought to the extreme front position. The mechanism is simple, it determines the high rate of fire.
In order to change the caliber of the charges used, it is necessary to change the barrel and install a combat larva corresponding to the required parameters. The basic equipment Blaser R93 Professional - trunks of different caliber, which belong to the same category, so they use one combat larva.
The slider on the tail of the shutter moves until the red dot opens. She gives the arrow a signal that the drummer is cocked and can be shot. The mechanism works smoothly, no effort is needed. The slider movement directs the rod forward, which leads to compression of the mainspring. The lever blocks the cocked drummer. The combat platoon is deactivated by pushing the slider head down and moving back.
Under the chamber in the breech of the barrel there are two screws, the purpose of which is to fasten the barrel to the receiver. To change the barrel of the Blaser R93 carbine, a special key is used. With it, unscrew the nuts that are on the bolt box. For safety, after installing a new barrel, it is required to carry out several shots and check the tightening of nuts.
Technical characteristics of Blaser R93 Professional:

- The length of the barrel standard modification - 406 millimeters;
- The total length of the rifle - 1,020 millimeters;

Blaser Weapon Features
There are some features for which the consumer appreciates the product of a German company. The first is a modular system. Thanks to it, each hunter on the basis of the standard version can collect a unique weapon with unique features and advantages. You can replace not only the trunk, but also the box. Installation of additional modules is available. This can be done during the hunt.
The spider (external platoon of the combat spring) is rarely found in the design of shotguns. Thanks to him, rifles become safer and safer. The hunter himself cocks the mainspring. If the shot is not made, it simply relaxes it to its original position. The probability of a random shot is zero.
The internal structure of the model is thought out to the smallest detail; engineers spent a lot of time on it. The result is a product in which each node is in the place where it should be. This made it possible to achieve small sizes, the standard length of the gun was 1,020 mm, and the versions with short trunks in length were even smaller - 940 mm. The build quality of each instance - at a high level.
Types of trunks
The manufacturing plant produces a wide range of interchangeable barrels, each of which has certain features and advantages:
- Jagdmatch - has longitudinal hollows, devoid of open sight, channel diameter - 2.2 cm. Total length - 62.7 cm;
- Safari - has an open sighting mechanism, the diameter of the channel - 2.2 cm. There is only a circular cross section. 300 grams heavier than the standard. Length - 62.7 cm;
- Simple round - similar to the previous version, devoid of an open sight. Dimensions saved;
- Mag-na-port barrel - equipped with a Mag-na-port compensator. Near the barrel there are several vertical cuts, which reduce recoil by 20%;
- Barrel with Dural-Brake - at the end there is a thread for installing a compensator-nozzle with several rows of round holes. The recoil is reduced by 35-50%, the muzzle flame becomes less, the barrel is not thrown up.
When using barrels with compensators, the use of eye and ear protection is recommended, as the noise and the amount of powder gases ejected increases.
Development of a new model
Successful layout of the bolt and rifle barrel interested in sports shooters. They made a proposal to create a large-caliber rifle for military-sport shooting. Improving the basic version of the Blazer, the engineers of this company eventually came to the creation of LRS-2.
The first sports version appeared in 1996. At a distance of 300 meters, the dispersion of bullets was 3.6 centimeters. The result satisfied the professional shooters, but the store and the trigger of the LRS-2 needed some work.
The first two years of its operation revealed the weak strength of the box, which was made of aluminum alloy to reduce the mass. When she fell she received serious damage. In the future, a version with a box of durable glass-filled polyamide was released, and the magazine for 10 charges was replaced with an improved one with 5 charges. This made it possible to avoid an increase in the mass of the instrument.
The trigger was also finalized. The descent was shortened and made dry. Opportunities to customize the trigger mechanism has become more. As a result, the finalization of the original version lasted until 1999, after which the mass production of a new model was launched.
Replacement barrels allow athletes and snipers to use powerful .338 Lapua Magnum munitions. The brackets make it possible to install optical sights of all kinds and dioptric sights. Adjustable bed and trigger allow the owner to customize the rifle according to your wishes and tastes.
All versions of the family are easy to understand. Each copy is divided into nodes, which are easily removed for cleaning, repair or other maintenance. This can be done in any conditions; no specialized tools are required.
Modern Blaser R8
The Blazer P8 incorporates in its design the achievements of the last years of the weapons industry; therefore, it is considered to be one of the best modern weapons. As in the original model R93, there is a spacer that excludes a random shot.
The longitudinally sliding bolt retained the collet type, but now the locking takes place using diverging lobes. It is impossible to squeeze the petals, since they are locked by a steel sleeve after locking. The walls of the Blaser R8 barrel are thickened in the zone of the chamber and the lugs. Smooth and easy movement of the shutter is carried out along the guides. For ease of reloading on the handle of the shutter there is a plastic thickening.
To fasten the barrel and the receiver is used "aluminum bed". Mounting method remains the same - two screws and two nuts. Steel emphasis recoil is in the groove of the trunk, experts believe this is a practical solution. Blaser R8 carabiner is used by hunters, athletes and some security forces.
