  • Patent number: 10295286
    Abstract: A firearm with a tool-less adjustable trigger pull. The adjustment may be facilitated with a thumb rotatable wheel for tool-less tension adjustment of a trigger tension spring. The rotatable wheel may be accessed by snapping a trigger guard away from a stock of the firearm. Accordingly, the force required to actuate the trigger can be adjusted to the user's preference without having to remove the trigger assembly from the stock, and without need for external tools or accessories.

  • Patent number: 10012456
    Abstract: A bolt action firearm that cocks the firing pin upon closing the bolt and includes a cam pin for a high velocity rimfire cartridge. In one embodiment, actuating the main spring while closing the bolt, instead of while opening the bolt, provides added safety against misfiring. A safety system is provided for the trigger mechanism and a robust connecting system for the stock.

  • Patent number: 9658007
    Abstract: A bolt action firearm that cocks the firing pin upon closing the bolt and includes a cam pin with dual heads for a high velocity rimfire cartridge. In one embodiment, actuating the main spring while closing the bolt, instead of while opening the bolt, more uniformly distributes the physical energy required by the user over the bolt actuation cycle. The dual heads of the cam pin provide symmetric reactive forces with dual cam slots, thereby preventing the cam pin from skewing or canting within the cam slots. A safety system is provided for the trigger mechanism and a robust connecting systems for the stock.
