Firearm

Sights of the present disclosure comprise a housing supporting an optical sighting element, such as one or more lenses or iron sights. A first lateral side of the housing has a laterally-extending protrusion and a lead-in portion forward of the laterally-extending portion. In some arrangements the lead-in portion is laterally-inward of an outermost surface of the laterally-extending protrusion and has a surface roughness of less than 50 μm. In some instances, the laterally-extending protrusion has a width of at least 1 mm and the lead-in portion has a length of at least five times the width of the laterally-extending protrusion.

Firearm sights and assemblies

A stock assembly for a firearm including an integrally molded accessory attachment housing and a method of forming the accessory attachment housing. The integrally molded accessory attachment housing is formed by molding a material in the form of a stock assembly around the accessory attachment housing. A stock slot is formed through the material around the accessory attachment housing and an opening corresponding to the position of the stock slot is defined through the accessory attachment housing. The stock assembly may additionally or alternatively include a cheek riser that has an adjustable cheek rest. The cheek rest may be configured to be adjustable in at least four different directions including rotation.

Rifle stock

A firearm assembly includes an upper receiver housing a bolt carrier group that is translatable within the upper receiver, and a lower receiver including a first hinge portion defining a first hinge opening. A second hinge portion is pivotally connected to the first hinge portion, and a buffer assembly is attached to the second hinge portion. A carrier block is positioned within the first hinge portion and is configurable in a blocking configuration and an unblocking configuration. A lock is configurable in a latched position and an unlatched position, and the lock is in mechanical communication with the carrier block when the lock is in the latched position. The carrier block is positioned in the unblocking configuration when the lock is in the latched position, and the carrier block is positioned in the blocking configuration when the lock is in the second position.

System for pivoting a buffer tube assembly

A firearm assembly includes an upper receiver housing a bolt carrier group that is translatable within the upper receiver, and a lower receiver including a first hinge portion defining a first hinge opening. A second hinge portion is pivotally connected to the first hinge portion, and a buffer assembly is attached to the second hinge portion. A carrier block is positioned within the first hinge portion and is configurable in a blocking configuration and an unblocking configuration. The second hinge portion is in mechanical communication with the carrier block when the second hinge portion is configured in a folded position. At least a portion of the carrier block is positioned within the first hinge opening when the carrier block is in the blocking configuration. The carrier block prevents translation of the bolt carrier group when the carrier blocking member is in the blocking configuration.

Optic for a firearm

A method of assembling a bolt handle to a bolt assembly of a firearm includes inserting the bolt handle through a handle opening defined by a bolt body. A distal end of the bolt handle is inserted through the handle opening until the distal end extends past an outer perimeter of the bolt body. At least a portion of a bolt shroud is inserted through a first portion of an aperture defined by the bolt handle. A force is applied to the bolt shroud while the bolt handle is retracted within the handle opening of the bolt body so that the bolt shroud is positioned within a second portion of the aperture. The bolt shroud is held in connection with the bolt handle when the bolt shroud is positioned within the second portion of the aperture to secure the bolt handle to the bolt body.

Bolt assembly

Sights of the present disclosure comprise a housing supporting an optical sighting element, such as one or more lenses or iron sights. A first lateral side of the housing has a laterally-extending protrusion and a lead-in portion forward of the laterally-extending portion. In some arrangements the lead-in portion is laterally-inward of an outermost surface of the laterally-extending protrusion and has a surface roughness of less than 50 &#x3bc;m. In some instances, the laterally-extending protrusion has a width of at least 1 mm and the lead-in portion has a length of at least five times the width of the laterally-extending protrusion.
