Abstract
This invention concerns a unique firearm trigger, safety, and stock attachment mechanism and to an embodiment in a semi-automatic blowback rifle where the receiver is mounted in the buttstock, a style commonly referred to as a "bullpup". The trigger is a dual electrical and mechanical design with one trigger lever and a control timer. The safety is forward mounted and blocks the sear. The stock mounting prevents bending moments in the stock to be transmitted to the barrel/receiver assembly. The bull-pup rifle embodiment itself has several unique features including a cheekpiece removable from the stock.
