Patent number: 4231177Abstract: An automatic and semiautomatic small caliber conversion system for automatic or semiautomatic shotguns and rifles such as, for example, M-16 and AR-16 rifles including a uniquely designed three element structure and associated ammunition feeding means to permit the use of smaller caliber, inexpensive ammunition in rilfes and shotguns designed originally for larger caliber ammunition. The system includes a bolt/receiver assembly which easily replaces the bolt carrier of the, for example, M-16 rifle, and a magazine assembly which can be inserted by hand into any standard, for example, 0.223 round M-16 magazine. The bolt/receiver assembly is made up of three sub-assemblies, a receiver, a bolt, and a recoil spring. The receiver sub-assembly includes a section of a circle with a short barrel section in the front which fits into the M-16 chambers, a receiver lug at top rear to locate it within the M-16 chamber and prevent its rotary or linear motions and a guide rail.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1978Date of Patent: November 4, 1980Assignee: U.S. Armament CorporationInventor: John P.
