  • Publication number: 20250237466
    Abstract: A control system for a firearm platform includes a chassis, a first bolt actuator rotatably received within the chassis having an upward position and a downward position and configured to engage a bolt when in the upward position. A second bolt actuator is rotatably received within the chassis and operatively engaged with the first bolt actuator to move in unison. A mag release is slidably received within a slot in the chassis and capable of sliding between left, center, and right positions. A mag catch is rotatably received within the chassis and in operable communication with the mag release such that the mag catch engages a magazine when the mag release is centered and disengages the magazine when the mag release is in the right or left position.

  • Patent number: 11859929
    Abstract: Provided is a firearm stock having a butt stock assembly and a lack mechanism. The butt stock assembly pivotable between an extended position and a folded position. The latch mechanism is operable to selectively lock the butt stock assembly in the extended position. The latch mechanism has a latch lever rotatable between open and locked positions and has a tooth that engages a cammed socket. Moving the latch lever toward the locked position tensions the latch lever to bias the butt stock into the extended position without mechanical play.

  • Patent number: 11628924
    Abstract: The invention described and claimed in this application is a throttle assembly for a paramotor with an integrated locking mechanism which can be engaged to lock the throttle input in any position to maintain level flight. The throttle locking mechanism can be quickly disengaged as needed by squeezing the throttle control lever. The throttle locking mechanism is also able to be tuned when in the locked position as to attain the ideal engine input for level flight. The throttle locking mechanism can be preset and quickly returned to a designated power setting.

  • Patent number: 11293715
    Abstract: A firearm with a compound lever trigger mechanism includes a first member pivotally attached to a firearm receiver at a first pivot and a first lever arm extending away from the first pivot attachment point to a sear. The first member is pivotable between a first position where the sear engages a firing element and a second position where the sear does not engage the firing element. A trigger member is pivotally attached to the first member first lever arm with a trigger blade arm extending away from the second pivot in one direction and a bearing arm extending away in another direction toward bearing contact with a surface of the receiver. Pulling the trigger blade arm causes the trigger member to pivot relative to the first member and the bearing arm to move in bearing contact against the receiver, thereby pivoting the lever arm from the first position to the second position.
