  • Patent number: 8479635
    Abstract: A bolt catch assembly configured for operating with rimfire ammunition for use with a firearm including a receiver with an exposed receiving chamber. The assembly includes a bolt catch actuator housing supported in seating fashion relative to the receiving chamber and communicating with an attachable magazine. A catch actuator is supported in elevatable fashion relative to an end of the actuator housing. A bolt catch component and integrally formed actuator catch engaging portion is slaved to the catch actuator in order to be displaced in response to elevating motion exerted upon the catch actuator, such as by a follower component biasingly disposed within the magazine. The follower, in its uppermost displaced position within the attached magazine, engages a tab associated with the catch actuator which extends over a communicating interior of the bolt catch actuator housing in communicating alignment with the exposed receiving chamber.

  • Patent number: 8453367
    Abstract: A maintenance kit incorporated into operable components of a sub caliber action device installable within an upper receiver of an AR-15 type firearm for facilitating disassembly, maintenance and reassembly of a bolt and forward chamber adaptor with a receiver plate. The kit includes at least one gauge dimension defined in a barrel of the forward chamber adaptor for establishing a correct spacing between lengthwise extending and interior notch defining arms associated with the receiver plate. A modified guide rod facilitates at least one of disassembly of the bolt firing pin/extractor and cleaning of the chamber adaptor interior prior to reassembly of the bolt and chamber adaptor.

  • Patent number: 8387296
    Abstract: A bolt catch assembly for use with a firearm including a receiver with an exposed receiving chamber and an underside engageable magazine. The assembly includes a bolt catch actuator housing supported in seating fashion relative to the receiving chamber and communicating with an attachable magazine. A catch actuator is supported in elevatable fashion relative to an end of the actuator housing. A follower component is upwardly and biasingly disposed within the magazine and which, upon contacting the catch actuator, displaces an associated bolt catch of the firearm in an upper and bolt restraining position.

  • Patent number: 8316755
    Abstract: An anti-rotation feature incorporated between a cotter pin and a sub caliber action device installable within an upper receiver of a firearm. A receiver plate exhibits a notched interior for seating a bolt in reciprocating fashion. A chamfer formed in a side of the bolt intersects a length extending channel of the bolt for seating within the notched interior. The chamfer seating a head of the cotter pin to prevent rotation during bolt travel. A rearward support sleeve seats an opposing guide rod associated with the receiver plate and in order to maintain the bolt assembly. A firing pin exhibits a notch at a location along its shaft and, upon installation within an interior aperture of the bolt, is retained in position by the cotter pin. The firing pin is configured so as to exhibit a reduced diameter end projection upon which is supported a coil spring.
