Abstract: A method of assembling a bolt handle to a bolt assembly of a firearm includes inserting the bolt handle through a handle opening defined by a bolt body. A distal end of the bolt handle is inserted through the handle opening until the distal end extends past an outer perimeter of the bolt body. At least a portion of a bolt shroud is inserted through a first portion of an aperture defined by the bolt handle. A force is applied to the bolt shroud while the bolt handle is retracted within the handle opening of the bolt body so that the bolt shroud is positioned within a second portion of the aperture. The bolt shroud is held in connection with the bolt handle when the bolt shroud is positioned within the second portion of the aperture to secure the bolt handle to the bolt body.

Abstract: Bolt assemblies for firearms (e.g., bolt action firearms) and methods of assembling and disassembling same are disclosed herein. In particular aspects, bolt assemblies comprising a bolt body, a bolt handle, a bolt shroud, and a clip that secures the bolt shroud to the bolt body are disclosed. The bolt shroud preferably resists removal of the bolt handle from the bolt body.

Abstract: A stock assembly for a firearm including an integrally molded accessory attachment housing and a method of forming the accessory attachment housing. The integrally molded accessory attachment housing is formed by molding a material in the form of a stock assembly around the accessory attachment housing. A stock slot is formed through the material around the accessory attachment housing and an opening corresponding to the position of the stock slot is defined through the accessory attachment housing. The stock assembly may additionally or alternatively include a cheek riser that has an adjustable cheek rest. The cheek rest may be configured to be adjustable in at least four different directions including rotation.
