A bushing/compensator device for a firearm is provided that includes a compensator member having a first aperture having an axis that is coaxial with the axis of the barrel. A second aperture has an axis that is coaxial with the axis of the guide rod when the device is mounted on the slide. A quarter turn bayonet mount is disposed at a rear end of the first aperture that mates with a bayonet mount aperture in the slide. When the bayonet mount is locked, the axis of the second aperture is aligned with the axis of the guide rod of the pistol, and when the bayonet mount is unlocked, the device is removable from the slide. A button assembly is retained in the second aperture and includes a head at one end and a fastener at the other. The rod is slidable from a first position wherein the head is adjacent to the front end of the second aperture, to a second position wherein the second end of the rod depresses the recoil spring plug. A spring biases the rod to the first position.

Tool-less takedown bushing/compensator device for pistol

A magazine catch safety for a firearm to lock a trigger of a firearm when a magazine is removed from a magazine receptacle of a frame of a firearm, the magazine catch safety having a catch body having a longitudinal axis, an actuating button end, and a spring receiving end, and a protuberance disposed on the catch body. The magazine catch safety further having a securement pin, a spring, and a trigger bow. The trigger bow has a notch, wherein, when the catch body is in a first position, the protuberance is engaged in the notch to prevent movement of the trigger bow, and wherein when the catch body is in a second position, the protuberance of the catch body does not engage the notch, providing for free movement of the trigger bow.

Magazine disconnect safety

A recoil rod assembly is provided, including a front rod and a rear rod. A cylindrical protuberance is disposed at the rear end of the front rod or the front end of the rear rod. A cylindrical aperture is disposed at the other. The axis of the cylindrical protuberance or the axis of the cylindrical aperture is offset from the axis of the rear rod. The cylindrical protuberance is disposed in the cylindrical aperture, wherein the axis of the cylindrical protuberance and the axis of the cylindrical aperture are coaxial. The front rod is rotatable with respect to the rear rod about the coaxial axes from a first position wherein the axis of the front rod is coaxial with the axis of the rear rod to a second position wherein the axis of the front rod is offset from the axis of the rear rod.

Rifle

A system for securing a barrel to a receiver of a rifle includes a barrel extension and a locking wedge. The barrel extension receives threads on the barrel and has a protuberance. The locking wedge is secured in an aperture in the receiver by a fastener. The locking wedge has a side parallel to the aperture, and a cam side disposed at an angle. The locking wedge is movable in a direction perpendicular to the barrel axis. The cam side is disposed against the protuberance. Tightening the fastener causes the cam side of the locking wedge to urge the protuberance of the barrel extension along the barrel axis in a direction away from the muzzle end of the barrel into the receiver.

Barrel attachment system for rifle

A drop safety trigger assembly is provided having a fire control housing mounted in a receiver, a rotatable sear, a rotatable sear stop, and a sear release. When a force by a user is applied to the trigger shoe, the sear stop rotates at its pivot point against the force of the trigger spring to cause a sear stop protuberance to apply a force to an upper surface of the sear release to release a projection of the sear release from the notch of the sear to cause the sear to rotate due to the force of the firing pin spring on the second end of the sear to cause the first end of the sear to disengage from the firing pin to initiate a discharge of the rifle. When no force by a user is applied to the trigger shoe to rotate the sear stop, but when the sear projection of the sear release disengages from the notch of the sear, the sear projection of the sear stop engages the notch of the sear to prevent a discharge of the rifle.
