Abstract
In some embodiments, a firearm comprises a lower receiver, a bolt carrier, a buffer sleeve and a buffer. The lower receiver is arranged to support a hammer and an auto-sear. The bolt carrier comprises a body and a striker moveable with respect to the body between a first position and a second position. The buffer sleeve is arranged to contact the bolt carrier and to contact a buffer spring. The buffer sleeve defines an internal cavity and comprises open ends. The buffer is oriented in the internal cavity and extends through the buffer sleeve. The buffer is arranged to contact the striker and move the striker to the second position.
