Abstract

An anti-rattling biasing device for firearms includes a spring configured to exert a biasing force against an upper receiver and a lower receiver of the firearm. The biasing force urges the upper and lower receivers firmly into contact with the pins that couple the upper and lower receivers, inhibiting small back and forth movement between the upper and lower receivers and thereby reducing or eliminating rattling of the upper and lower receivers when assembled together.

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a bolt catch device that prevents the bolt of a bolt carrier assembly of a firearm from moving to its forward position so as to prevent the firearm from being discharged until the user manually moves the bolt catch. The bolt catch is mechanically coupled to the selector of the firearm via a linkage, so that the bolt catch can be moved by way of the selector. This feature can prevent a self-loading firearm that otherwise could function on a semi-automatic basis from operating in such a manner.

Abstract

Linear trigger mechanisms for firearms include a trigger slide mounted on, and configured to move linearly in relation to a chassis; and a hammer. The trigger slide has a rolling element, such as a pin-mounted roller or a rolling pin, that engages a contact surface on the hammer and thereby restrains the hammer against its spring bias. When the user pulls the trigger to discharge the firearm, the trigger slide moves linearly, causing the rolling element to roll off of the contact surface and thereby release the hammer. The trigger mechanisms can be equipped with a drop safety that rotates in response to an impact between the firearm and the ground, so as to interfere with the movement of the trigger slide and prevent the release of the hammer.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a trigger assembly and related method for a firearm (e.g., an AR, SR-25, or M4 style rifle, or another type of firearm). The trigger assembly minimizes inadvertent discharge of the firearm by blocking the trigger from rearward pivoting until pressure is applied to the center portion of the trigger. The system and method employ a configuration wherein a camming surface is engaged with a machined portion of the lower receiver once the trigger assembly is connected to the lower receiver via a pivot that extends through the trigger assembly and at least a portion of the lower receiver.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a buffer kit or assembly for an AR-15, M16, M4 carbine, SR-25, AR-10 and LR-308 type firearm with enhanced fatigue resistance. The buffer assembly includes a weighted buffer, a spring, and a buffer tube. The spring is helically shaped and is formed from multiple wire strands. The stranded wire spring has a greater nominal wire diameter, in comparison to prior art single wire springs, and thus the stranded wire spring itself has a smaller internal diameter. The shoulder of the weighted buffer is provided with a reduced diameter to accommodate the smaller internal diameter of the stranded wire spring.
