Abstract
The present invention includes a receiver for a firearm having a front recess to receive a barrel. The receiver has a load/eject recess port open to the front recess and to a side or bottom of the receiver to allow the insertion and removal of a cartridge from the receiver. A slit along the front recess and the load/eject recess port together form a single opening along the receiver whereby the receiver can expand to allow the insertion of a barrel into the front recess. Included is a firearm having the receiver of the invention.
Claims24
A receiver for a firearm, said receiver comprising:
- a front, at least two sides, and a bottom;
- a front recess to receive a barrel or barrel extension, said front recess defined by a channel in said receiver which is open longitudinally along a longitudinal slit in said receiver;
- a load/eject recess open to said front recess and to at least one side or said bottom of said receiver, said load/eject recess sized to allow the insertion and removal of a cartridge from said receiver;
- said slit and said load/eject recess together forming a single opening to said receiver whereby said receiver can expand to allow the insertion of a barrel or barrel extension into said front recess.
A receiver for a firearm, said receiver comprising:
- a front and a bottom;
- a front recess to receive a barrel extension, said front recess defined by a channel open longitudinally at its bottom along a longitudinal slit;
- a load/eject recess open to said front recess and to said bottom of said receiver to allow the insertion and removal of a cartridge from said bottom of said receiver;
- and
- at least one clamping hole in said receiver, said clamping hole disposed through said longitudinal slit, said clamping hole sized to receive clamping means;
- said slit and said load/eject recess together forming a single opening along said bottom of said receiver, and
- said front recess is expandable and contractible along said slit whereby said slit is compressible by said clamping means to apply a compressive force on a barrel extension inserted into said front recess.
A barrel extension for a firearm barrel, said barrel extension comprising:
- a metallic tube having an outer surface;
- and
- a protrusion extending radially outward from said outer surface of said metallic tube.
A safety mechanism for a firearm to prevent unintentional firing of the firearm, the safety mechanism comprising:
- a bolt having:
- a bolt head disposed at a distal end,
- a proximal end, and
- a longitudinal channel disposed in said bolt to house a firing pin;
- a firing pin disposed in said longitudinal channel of said bolt, said firing pin having a distal end at said bolt head and a proximal end extending out of said longitudinal channel to allow activation of said firing pin by a hammer;
- a safety bar disposed at said proximal end of said firing pin wherein rotation of said bolt into a firing position rotates said safety bar into an activation position whereby said firing pin can be activated by a hammer striking said safety bar, and rotation of said bolt into a non-firing position rotates said safety bar out of said activation position whereby a falling hammer cannot strike said safety bar or firing pin.
A firearm comprising:
- a barrel;
- a barrel extension attached to said barrel, said barrel extension having a protrusion extending radially therefrom;
- and
- a receiver, said receiver comprising:
- a front, at least two sides, and a bottom;
- a front recess to receive a barrel or barrel extension, said front recess defined by a channel in said receiver which is open longitudinally along a longitudinal slit in said receiver;
- and
- a load/eject recess open to said front recess and to at least one side or said bottom of said receiver, said load/eject recess sized to allow the insertion and removal of a cartridge from said receiver;
- said slit and said load/eject recess together forming a single opening to said receiver whereby said receiver can expand to allow the insertion of a barrel or barrel extension into said front recess;
- whereby said slit accepts said protrusion to guide said barrel extension into said receiver.
