Abstract: Provided is a fast cycling/low recoil pistol caliber carbine assembly. The carbine assembly may include an upper receiver, a lower receiver, a feed ramp, a bolt stop, a magazine, a control mechanism comprising a control lever, a control base, a control pivot pin, and a control spring, an ejector, a gap filler member. The assembly provides last round bolt hold open, trigger finger actuated bolt release, short stroke cycle, barrel ramp, ambidextrous magazine release, and uses Glock magazines.

Abstract: A lower receiver that may be right hand or left hand configurable is provided. The lower receiver includes a static ejector that can be easily configured for right hand or left hand positions within the same lower receiver and a magazine button assembly having a left magazine button and a right magazine button that are operatively coupled together so that either magazine button can be pushed to release the magazine. This allows the gun builder to use this one lower receiver to build a right or left handed rifle.

Abstract: A configurable blowback bolt system is provided. Embodiments include a two-part configurable bolt assembly having a bolt carrier and a configurable bolt that allows for use with various calibers of ammunition, both rifle and pistol. The configurable bolt may also eject cartridges to the right or left side of the rifle by moving the extractor to one or the other side of the bolt. A buffer may be included as part of the configurable blowback bolt to shorten the stroke based on the caliber of ammunition being fired with the configurable blowback bolt system.

Abstract: An upper receiver assembly for an AR style rifle is provided. The upper receiver assembly includes an upper receiver body with a channel formed in a side of the body. Further, the assembly includes a bolt carrier operatively coupled within the upper receiver body. A bolt is coupled within the bolt carrier, wherein a cam pin is coupled to the bolt and extends through an aperture of the bolt carrier. The assembly also includes a side charger having a charging handle that extends through the channel of the upper receiver body. The side charger also includes a bolt carrier engagement member. The bolt carrier engagement member engages the bolt carrier and moves the cam pin in response to pulling the charging handle toward the butt stock of the weapon. This results in charging the rifle.
