Abstract
Firearm bolt assemblies and firearms including the same are described. In embodiments the firearm bolt assemblies are configured to localize compressive forces applied during a transition from an initial position to a firing position to a first cam system on one side of the firearm bolt assembly, and to localize compressive forces applied during a transition from the firing position to the initial position to a second cam system another side of the firearm bolt assembly. Localizing the forces in that manner enables the use of a first cam system that is relatively robust compared to the second cam system.
Claims3
A firearm bolt assembly, comprising:
- a first side, a second side, a proximal end, and a distal end, the first side being substantially opposite the second side;
- a bolt head;
- a bolt body;
- a first cam system defined by only a pair of single first complementary cam surfaces proximate the first side of the firearm bolt assembly, the bolt head comprising one of the pair of single first complementary cam surfaces, the bolt body comprising another of the pair of single first complementary cam surfaces;
- and
- a second cam system defined by only a pair of single second complementary cam surfaces proximate the second side of the firearm bolt assembly, the bolt head comprising one of the pair of single second complementary cam surfaces, the bolt body comprising another of the pair of single second complementary cam surfaces.
