Abstract
A rack and pinion system for a lever action firearm provides the rack element as a floating gear and includes a cam lever extension of the lever member. The cam lever extension applies rearward force directly to the bolt body and compresses a spring between the lever member and the rack element. After the bolt breaks free from the locking lugs, force is applied to the rack element by the lever member through the spring, whereby to complete the rearward movement of the bolt.
