Abstract
An action system for reducing recoil and muzzle rise in firearms is provided. The action system includes an outer housing having an internal cavity, a buffer tube in operable communication with a bolt carrier group of a firearm, and a slidable buffer within the buffer tube. A lever arm, pivotally secured within the outer housing, is operably connected to the buffer and moves radially under the buffer's force. A spring in the cavity engages with the lever arm, compressing as the lever arm is acted upon by the linear force produced by a bolt carrier group until the spring force exceeds the linear force, thus forcing the buffer in a direction opposite the direction of the linear force.
Claims14
An action system for a firearm comprising:
- a buffer of a firearm in operable communication with a torsion spring via a lever arm,
- wherein said lever arm is pivotally connected to a lever point at a lever end,
- wherein said lever point is positioned below said buffer when said firearm is in an upright position,
- wherein said torsion spring exerts a spring force on said lever arm,
- wherein said lever arm moves radially about said lever point when acted upon by a linear force acting on said buffer, and
- wherein compression of said torsion spring by said lever arm via said linear force acting on said buffer causes said spring force of said torsion spring to increase until a lever force acting on said buffer is greater than said linear force acting on said buffer, forcing said buffer into a direction opposite said linear force.
An action system for a firearm comprising:
- a lever arm operably connected to a spring and a buffer of a firearm,
- wherein a buffer end of said lever arm is in contact with said buffer,
- wherein said lever arm moves radially about a lever point when acted upon by a linear force acting on said buffer,
- wherein said lever point is positioned below said buffer when said firearm is in an upright position,
- wherein said buffer is in operable communication with a spring,
- wherein compression of said spring by said lever arm via said linear force acting on said buffer causes a spring force of said spring to increase until a lever force acting on said buffer is greater than said linear force acting on said buffer, forcing said buffer into a direction opposite said linear force.
An action system for a firearm comprising:
- a buffer of a firearm in operable communication with a spring via a lever arm,
- wherein a buffer end of said lever arm is in contact with said buffer,
- wherein compression of said spring by a linear force acting on said buffer causes a spring force of said spring to increase until a lever force of said lever arm is greater than said linear force acting on said buffer, forcing said buffer into a direction opposite said linear force,
- a buffer tube configured to allow said buffer to slidably move therein to engage said lever arm that is operably connected to said buffer and said spring,
- wherein said lever arm moves radially about a lever point when acted upon by said linear force acting on said buffer, compressing said spring and increasing said spring force,
- wherein said lever point is positioned below said buffer tube when said firearm is in an upright position, and
- a housing configured to hold a portion of said spring in a fixed position relative said buffer.
