Abstract
A receiver for a firearm may include a linkage that integrates movement of left and right forward assists. The receiver may include a linkage connecting one or both of the forward assists to a bolt catch. The receiver may included both a connection between the left and right forward assists as well as a connection between one or both of the forward assists and the bolt catch. The receiver may include a linkage connecting the forward assist mechanism with the bolt catch mechanism such that actuation of the forward assist mechanism moves the bolt carrier and moves the bolt catch mechanism from the engaged position to the disengaged position.
