  • Publication number: 20230097660
    Abstract: A firearm as disclosures herein comprises a main receiver body, a barrel, a breech bolt structure, a buffer assembly, a trigger group assembly, a bolt catch and at least one of an auto-sear, a magazine adapter and a breech bolt anti-rotation structure. The main receiver body is preferably of a monolithic construction whereby the handguard and breech bolt carrying bore can be manufactured from a single piece of material. The auto-sear is tripped by engagement with a buffer of the buffer assembly. The magazine adapter has an exterior surface structure engaged with a mating interior surface structure of a magazine well space of the main receiver body. A distal end portion of the breech bolt anti-rotation structure is engageable by the buffer for limiting forward travel of the buffer when the barrel is detached from the main receiver body.

  • Publication number: 20200232734
    Abstract: A firearm preferably permits a user to readily change ammunition type and associated magazine configuration at user discretion. Such a firearm may be optimally practiced as a pistol, rifle, or submachine gun but is not limited to a particular caliber size or configurations. A main receiver body of the firearm is preferably of a monolithic construction whereby the handguard and breech bolt carrying bore can be manufactured from a single piece of material such as, for example, an aluminum extrusion or polymer injection molded component. In at least one or more of these respects, the firearm is of an improved design to both simplify and speed manufacturing and assembly, while simultaneously reducing manufacturing costs normally associated with the firearm industry's usual state-of-the-art (e.g., prior art) methods.
