Abstract: A system for transferring the forces between reciprocably mounted firearm action bars (and a bolt assembly connected thereto) and an action spring mounted in the gun stock. A flexible wire link connects the action spring and the action bars so that rearward movement of the action bars to the breech open position causes biasing of the action spring whereupon the action spring now urges the action bars forwardly to breech closed position.
