A trigger assembly for a firearm is disclosed wherein the firearm includes a receiver, a safety selector and a hammer. The trigger assembly includes a trigger having a pivot axis, a front hook which is constructed and arranged to move with trigger rotation, a rear hook which is cooperatively arranged with the front hook and a spring which is positioned between the front hook and the rear hook. The front hook and the trigger are constructed and arranged relative to the safety selector and relative to the hammer in order to allow the hammer to be recocked from an upright position with the safety selector in a 'SAFE' position. This particular construction provides a trigger assembly which is constructed and arranged as a two-stage, drop-in trigger assembly which is compliant with the European Standard for an M4/M16 (AR) platform.

Two-stage, drop-in trigger assembly

Disclosed is a lower receiver that defines an aperture extending between a bolt stop well and an actuator well, the lower receiver including a bolts stop and a first actuator lever on one side of the lower receiver and a bolt stop actuator that includes a tooth that extends through the aperture, a second bolt release lever on the other side of the lower receiver and a rod connecting the tooth and the second bolt release lever, wherein the tooth engages the bolt stop so that actuation of the second bolt release lever moves the bolt stop and where the first and second release levers move in unison.

A fiber optic sight for a gun is disclosed that allows for increased illumination to the shooter's eyes by the use of an angled cut at the forward end of the fiber optic rod. The angled cut is positioned on the underside of the rod, and the fiber optic rod is exposed to the ambient light through the exterior surface of the rod onto the angled cut. The angled cut may be polished or be provided with a reflective surface that may be applied to, bonded to or positioned adjacent to the angled cut. The ambient light is directed along the major axis of the fiber optic rod towards the shooter's eyes. A reflector may also be positioned against the angled cut to enhance the reflectivity down the major axis of the fiber optic rod. The illumination may be further increased through the positioning of a light source alongside the fiber optic rod, with the light being directed onto the angled cut, and along the major axis of the fiber optic rod.

A firearm suppressor includes at least one baffle disposed within a cylindrical housing. The baffle includes a distal-facing conical baffle having a wider end and an opposing narrower end; and a proximal-facing conical baffle intersected by the distal-facing conical baffle such that the narrower end of the distal-facing conical baffle extends beyond a wider end of the proximal-facing baffle, wherein a central bore extends through both the distal-facing conical baffle and the proximal-facing conical baffle.

A latch for mounting a suppressor to a firearm is disclosed that allows interfacing with and securely attaching to the weapon's flash hider without the need to use threads and the rotational movement commonly associated with attaching suppressors to a firearm. The latch consists of a primary latch and a secondary latch. The primary latch moves in a vertical plane, fits into the grooves on a standard flash hider, and is rotationally indexed to the flash hider when locked. The secondary latch attaches to the top of the primary latch, securing the primary latch when it is fully locked by pivoting around and downwards, and locking to the suppressor. The primary latch compensates for the considerable tolerance range of the outside diameter of the flash hider. The latch has minimal thermal coupling to the suppressor and engaging/disengaging the primary latch plate and the secondary latch can be accomplished with one hand.

New and unique improvements of prior known M4/M16 firearms are disclosed that comprise (A) a bolt which, in addition to all of the normal M4/M16 features is configured or reconfigured to accept a bridged extractor spring which straddles the firing pin and presses against the bottom of the extractor with the bridging wire, and (B) a bridged extractor spring which is a single part, wound with dual spaced helical coils connected with a bridge wire that maintains the spacing at the top of the spring. The bridge wire preferably crosses diagonally between and is tangent to both coils.

New and unique improvements of prior known fiber optic sights for firearms with day and night time capabilities are disclosed that comprise (A) a sight base, (B) a fiber optic rod mounted in said base having an angle cut at the distal end which is positioned on the underside of the rod, and (C) an artificial light insert that is positioned in a cavity in the fiber optic rod. The cavity is sealed with a fiber optic rod plug and epoxied using an optically clear epoxy. The sight provides increased light output, co-located day and night sight views with increased illumination during the day, and uses a low power tritium insert for night time use. At night the sight achieves a transition from a bright ring during the day to a small central dot at night while maintaining the same color light for both.
