  • Patent number: 11365952
    Abstract: A firearm stock with adjustable length of pull and/or comb height is disclosed. In one example, a butt plate assembly includes a tongue defining top and bottom chamfered outside edges. A stock body defines top and bottom chamfered inside edges along a slot opening. Moving a locking assembly to a locked position draws the chamfered outside edges on the tongue against the chamfered inside edges along the slot opening. A locking plate can be used between the fastener and the tongue. In another example, an adjustable comb assembly includes a cheek plate with posts received in post openings that extend into the stock body. A locking lever is coupled to a fastener that extends laterally through the stock body. Moving the lever to the locked position draws together opposite sides of the stock body to constrain the post openings, thereby retaining the position of the comb.

  • Patent number: 10584930
    Abstract: A rotary ammunition magazine cooperates with a bolt catch to hold the bolt of a firearm out of battery in an open position after the last round has been fired. A cam mounted on the rotor of the magazine actuates a movable body on the magazine housing as the cam rotates to feed ammunition to the action. The body moves to an extended position and engages a bolt catch pivotably mounted in the firearm receiver. The bolt catch is pivoted by the body into a position where it will engage the bolt and prevent it from returning to battery after the last round has been fired.
