Claims10
A firearm, comprising:
- a frame;
- a barrel having a chamber at one end and joined to said frame;
- a cartridge magazine selectively joinable to said frame to position a cartridge aligned substantially vertically transverse with the chamber;
- a sliding bolt configured to reciprocate relative to the frame between an in-battery position and a rearward position and to receive the cartridge in a position substantially in axial alignment with the chamber when in the rearward position;
- a magazine extractor mechanism configured to engage and extract a cartridge rearwardly from the magazine when the bolt reciprocates toward the rearward position;
- and
- a cartridge lifting mechanism actuated by rearward reciprocation of the sliding bolt to move a cartridge away from engagement by the magazine extractor mechanism and upward into retention by the slide bolt.
