A handguard for a firearm includes a body member, a first member, a second member, and multiple elongated members. The body member has a first end, a second end, and an inner volume. The inner volume receives a barrel of the firearm. The first member is fixedly coupled with the body member at the first end. The second member is fixedly coupled with the body member at the second end. The multiple elongated members extend through the inner volume of the body portion and fixedly couple with the first member and the second member.
A bolt carrier group for a firearm includes a bolt carrier, a bolt, and a cam pin. The bolt carrier includes a medial portion and a first and second outer portion. The bolt carrier slidably couples with a first elongated member at the first outer portion and a second elongated member at the second outer portion. The bolt is received within an inner volume of the bolt carrier. The cam pin is coupled with the bolt. The cam pin is positioned at least partially within the inner volume of the bolt carrier and extends through a top surface of the bolt carrier. The cam pin and the bolt are translatable and pivotable relative to the bolt carrier between a first position and a second position. The cam pin is configured to engage a recess of the second outer portion of the bolt carrier when in the first position.
F41A 3/26 - Rigid bolt locks, i.e. having locking elements rigidly mounted on the bolt or bolt handle and on the barrel or breech-housing respectively the locking elements effecting a rotary movement about the barrel axis, e.g. rotating cylinder bolt locks semi-automatically or automatically operated, e.g. having a slidable bolt-carrier and a rotatable bolt
F41A 3/28 - Rigid bolt locks, i.e. having locking elements rigidly mounted on the bolt or bolt handle and on the barrel or breech-housing respectively the locking elements effecting a rotary movement about the barrel axis, e.g. rotating cylinder bolt locks semi-automatically or automatically operated, e.g. having a slidable bolt-carrier and a rotatable bolt having fixed locking elements on the non-rotating bolt and rotating locking elements mounted on the barrel or breech housing, e.g. rotatable rings
F41A 3/30 - Interlocking means, e.g. locking lugs, screw threads

Firing pin retainer and firearm operating system including same
A firearm operating system includes a firing pin having a first end and a second end. An operating rod assembly includes an operating rod, a lug positioned at a first end of the operating rod, and a firing pin retainer extending from the lug. A bolt carrier includes a bolt carrier pocket structured to receive the firing pin retainer, and a bolt carrier cam pin opening. A bolt is structured to be received in the bolt carrier. The bolt includes a bolt cam pin opening. A cam pin is structured to be positioned through the bolt carrier cam pin opening and into the bolt cam pin opening. The first end of the firing pin extends through a firing pin opening of the cam pin to retain the cam pin. The firing pin retainer of the operating rod assembly engages the second end of the firing pin so as to retain the firing pin.
F41A 19/13 - Percussion or firing pins, i.e. fixed or slidably- mounted striker elements; Mountings therefor
F41A 3/26 - Rigid bolt locks, i.e. having locking elements rigidly mounted on the bolt or bolt handle and on the barrel or breech-housing respectively the locking elements effecting a rotary movement about the barrel axis, e.g. rotating cylinder bolt locks semi-automatically or automatically operated, e.g. having a slidable bolt-carrier and a rotatable bolt
F41A 5/18 - Mechanisms or systems operated by propellant charge energy for automatically opening the lock gas-operated
