Abstract: A multi-core suppressor for a firearm. The multi-core suppressor includes a housing having a first and second ends and a central main core positioned within the housing. The central main core has a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal centerline with a plurality of central baffle portions positioned adjacent to the longitudinal centerline and a projectile path through the central baffle portions. The multi-core suppressor includes a first side core positioned between the housing and a first side of the central main core and a second side core positioned between the housing and a second side of the central main core. The first side core has a plurality of first side baffle portions and the second side core has a plurality of second side baffle portions. The first and side baffle portions engage the central baffle portions to form a plurality of baffles positioned within the housing.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modified rifle bolt carrier allowing a selectively openable vent/valve at the location where exhaust gas is pressurizing the bolt carrier to control carrier speed under suppressed fire in a first valve position or unsuppressed fire in a second valve position. A valve core is disclosed which may be rotated 180° to a first “open” setting for non-suppressed fire from its position in a “closed” position for suppressed fire, and a third “median” position. The modified bolt carrier will allow an operator of the firearm to adjust for a suppressor without changing the gas block or having to modify or adapt the front end or barrel end of the firearm.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a rotary lockup action including a firing mechanism for a firearm. The firearm including a receiver having a cavity therein configured to accept the firing mechanism. The firing mechanism comprising a bolt guide rail fixed to the inner surface of the cavity of the receiver. The firing mechanism also comprises a bolt sliding along a longitudinal axis on the bolt guide rail. Also disclosed is a change handle rotatably mounted to the bolt so as to rotate relative thereto about a vertical axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The charge handle may be mounted to the bolt so as to longitudinally reposition therewith. The charge handle having a surface defining a cut therein aligned with a slot in the bolt when the bolt is in a rearward position; and wherein the surface defining a cut in the charge handle is not aligned with the slot in the bolt when the bolt is in a forward position.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a buffer tube locking plate assembly facilitating secure attachment of a buffer tube to a receiver portion of a firearm.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an attachment system for a firearm. One example of the attachment system comprising: a ribbed rail comprising; an upper surface lying in a first plane, a plurality of laterally extending rail ribs projecting transversely from the upper surface; the longitudinally adjacent rail ribs forming recoil grooves therebetween, a keyhole rail comprising; a laterally extending substantially cylindrical surface forming part of a keyhole void through the ribbed rail; a plurality of substantially planar, laterally and longitudinally extending side surfaces forming part of the keyhole void through the ribbed rail, and a laterally extending end surface extending between the side surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a modified rifle bolt carrier allowing a selectively openable vent/valve at the location where exhaust gas is pressurizing the bolt carrier 80 to control carrier speed under suppressed fire in a first valve position or unsuppressed fire in a second valve position. A valve core is disclosed which may be rotated 180° to an “open” setting for non-suppressed fire from its position in a “closed” position for suppressed fire. The modified bolt carrier will allow an operator of the firearm to adjust for a suppressor without changing the gas block or having to modify or adapt the front end of the firearm.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus is a scissor-style action to be mounted to a firearm. In one embodiment the firearm is a semi-automatic firearm prior to removal of the stock action and attachment of the disclosed action. In one particular embodiment, the firearm is a rifle sold by the Ruger® company under the model name 10/22.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus and method facilitates modification of a firearm, such as an automatic, semi-automatic, bolt action, or other firearm to be modified to a scissor-style bolt action firearm. In one embodiment the firearm is a semi-automatic firearm prior to modification. In one particular embodiment, the firearm is a rifle sold by the Ruger company under the model name 10/22.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved buffer tube assembly comprising a buffer tube having a longitudinal forward end, a longitudinal rearward end, and an inner annular surface. The buffer tube further comprises an attachment location operably configured to couple the buffer tube to a lower receiver of a firearm. One novel feature is a dead blow buffer positioned at the longitudinally rearward portion of the buffer tube. The buffer tube comprising an external surface configured to fit within and substantially in contact with the internal bore surface of the buffer tube, wherein the dead blow buffer is configured to receive an impact from a buffer that is attached to a buffer spring fitted within the buffer tube. In one form, the dead blow buffer is positioned between the rearmost portion of the inner annular surface of the buffer tube and the buffer spring.

Abstract: A muzzle device configured to be attached to the muzzle region of a barrel. The muzzle device has a compensator region positioned longitudinally rearward from a flash suppression region. The muzzle device further is provided with adjacent compensator ports in communication by a longitudinally extending access vent.
