Snap Motion

A blue spring-loaded cocking piece has chamfered corners. Axial movement of the pink push-rod forces the cocking piece against a spring-loaded pin set in frame. When cocking builts up enough force to overcom the pin spring, the cocking piece snaps over to the right.
Move the pink push-rod or the blue cocking piece to the left to get initial position.
The violet pins represent manual action.
