Abstract: A mechanism for the disassembly of a handgun without triggering, which prevents the consequential accidental firing of a cartridge in the chamber upon triggering. The mechanism including a disassembler, sear catcher lever, sear catcher and a sear catcher spring. The disassembler has an eccentric pin. Rotation of the dissembler moves the sear catcher lever forward. The sear catcher spring pushes the sear catcher which abuts the other end of sear catcher lever. The sear catcher can catch the sear as soon as the sear is pressed downwards around the sear pin by the slide, and it can hold the sear beneath the plane of cocking of the firing pin. At the same time, the sear catcher blocks the firing pin safety lever if the sear catcher lever is in its utmost forward position. That way the cocking of the firing pin is prevented and the triggering is blocked.

Abstract: A method of installing a rifle scope to a rifle such that when the rifle is transversely level, the vertical line of the scope reticle is aligned with the direction of bullet drop. The method uses a mounting facilitating fixture having a rifle vice and a rifle vice transverse orientation adjustment device. First, the rifle is clamped into the rifle vice and the rifle vice transverse orientation adjustment device is adjusted until the rifle is transversely level. Then, while the rifle is still held in a transversely level position in the rifle vice, a scope having a vertical line in the reticle is connected to the rifle so that the vertical line is plumb in relation to the Earth. Because both the direction of bullet drop and the vertical line of the scope reticle are aligned with gravity, they are aligned with each other.

Abstract: A handgun bushing removal tool, designed to encompass the end of the slide, to facilitate the safe and rapid removal and replacement of the barrel bushing on a 1911 type semi-automatic pistol. The tool contains an aperture generally conforming to the shape of a 1911 barrel bushing, which the bushing passes through, which when held in the palm of the hand, allows direct pressure to be applied to the spring plug while the tool is rotated. The tool is also designed to limit the rotation of the bushing by contacting the slide wall with the end of the slide when the correct amount of rotation has been achieved.

Abstract: A method of assembling a pistol includes coupling a tool to the pistol such that a portion of the pistol is interposed within a retaining aperture formed within the tool, interposing a first portion of a slide stop within an aperture formed within the frame of the pistol, interposing a second portion of the slide stop within a notch formed within the frame, and urging the second portion of the slide stop to contact the tool to prevent a scratch on a portion of the pistol that is prone to being scratched by the second portion of the slide stop.

Abstract: A handy time-saving finger-tip device facilitating more convenient release of an magazine-clip from a gun such as an AR-15 rifle, some of which magazine/release-buttons are configured with a statute-mandated recessed sub-button therein, heretofore requiring dexterous insertion of a separate pocket-carried cylindrical probe-tool. The notion hereof being to supplement actuation of the present awkwardly operating release-button, with a more convenient and reliable release device referred to as the MagMagnet™, which I set forth herein in two iterations. The first embodiment preferably being an index-finger stall adapted with an insertion-pin; while my second embodiment is a self-retaining version, which attaches directly into the existing magazine/release sub-button instead of being retained upon the shooter's index-finger.

Abstract: A jig for supporting an M1911 pistols includes a superstructure rigidly mounted onto a base so as to extend upwardly therefrom.

Abstract: This tool makes it possible to more conveniently handle the “selector” element on a conventional M16/M4 family weapon when the selector must be removed or reinserted. As will be appreciated by those in the gun repair trade, in the disassembly or reassembly of such weapons the handling of the selector element is a tricky and painstaking activity. This disclosed tool handily is an assist in such activities. The tool is inserted in the opening in the receiver of the selector element and rotated. An offset circular cam means on the tool when rotated will handily depress the detent element (which necessarily must be done and it also has a spring beneath it). A bumper end cap at the distal end of the tool will carefully engage the selector element to gently push on it if needed (or in the reverse operation for the tool to be gently backed away there from as the selector is repositioned into the weapon).

The trigger assembly is particularly conducive for an AR-15 type rifle and the various sear engagement surfaces are adapted to be adjustable irrespective of the various dimensions and tolerances of the underlying firearm. A safety system is employed that adjustably allows proper engagement of the trigger tail to properly engage and disengage the safety mechanism.

Abstract: A mechanism for the disassembly of a handgun without triggering, which prevents the consequential accidental firing of a cartridge in the chamber upon triggering. The mechanism including a disassembler, sear catcher lever, sear catcher and a sear catcher spring. The disassembler has an eccentric pin. Rotation of the dissembler moves the sear catcher lever forward. The sear catcher spring pushes the sear catcher which abuts the other end of sear catcher lever. The sear catcher can catch the sear as soon as the sear is pressed downwards around the sear pin by the slide, and it can hold the sear beneath the plane of cocking of the firing pin. At the same time, the sear catcher blocks the firing pin safety lever if the sear catcher lever is in its utmost forward position. That way the cocking of the firing pin is prevented and the triggering is blocked.
