A hammer strut support (150, 156, 160, 162, 166) in a firearm which supports or aligns a free end (134) of a pivotally mounted hammer strut (116), and physically blocks it from becoming lodged in a position, typically under a crosspin (120) such as a sear spring stop pin, that would preclude subsequent proper reassembly of firearm, unless un-lodged and properly repositioned. It is sandwiched in, and may also envelop, firearm structure. Upper surface (154) of hammer strut support may also have a guide channel (164) to align hammer strut (116). |

A crossbow system is illustrated with a rail, a stock and a riser assembly. In certain embodiments, flexible limbs extend forward from riser assembly, in the direction of shooting, and include cams at the limb tips for the power cable arrangement at their ends. In certain embodiments, the riser assembly is made in a triangular arrangement with a crosspiece and a pair of struts extending rearward and are braced at an apex. Optionally, the crosspiece and struts can be formed separately and connected during assembly, facilitating manufacture and ease of assembly of the crossbow and allowing greater flexibility in the choice of manufacturing methods, materials and mounting arrangements. |

Methods and structures for tightening the fit between upper and lower receiver subassemblies in a firearm comprising the addition of a raised embossment (projecting upward from the surface) on the upper side of a lower receiver walls or the underside of an upper receiver walls near the pivot pin. When the upper and lower receivers are connected by engaging the rear take-down pin the embossment leverages the receivers on the pivot pin to provide a tight fit. |

A pivot-axis, pin arrangement for rifle receivers can serve as a trigger or hammer pin therefor. A lower housing has a pair of sidewalls defining a gap and with a pair of bores spaced across the gap. The outer side of one sidewall has a slightly recessed channel which is elongated between spaced ends, at least one of which is rounded and centered on the axes of the spaced bores. The pivot axis pin has a cylindrical shaft and a T-slot head style head. The head has one portion forming an annular ring while the remaining portion is elongated to an end. In use, the pin is inserted through the bores, and is ‘simply supported’ by the ends thereof in the bores therefor. The head of the pin locks against rotation merely by settling in into at least one rounded end of the recessed channel. |

A handguard mount assembly and method of forming a handguard mount assembly that includes a mount clip that is defined by a body having a first portion constructed to be received in a slot defined by hand guard and define a smallest diameter associated with a receiver end of the hand guard. The body of the mount clip preferably includes a second portion that radially indexes the mount clip, and a hand guard associated therewith, relative to a receiver associated with the underlying firearm such that the mount clip defines a maximum compression associated with the hand guard and prevents rotation of the hand guard relative to the receiver when assembled. |

A bolt action rifle with safety mechanism includes a receiver, barrel coupled to the receiver, and a trigger housing detachably coupled to the receiver. The trigger housing includes a trigger-actuated firing mechanism operable to discharge the rifle. A safety mechanism comprises a safety shaft and safety selector each rotatably mounted in the trigger housing and operably coupled together by a mechanical linkage, such as a rod in one embodiment. The safety selector comprises a control shaft and selector switch for operating the selector. Rotating the safety selector in a first direction rotates and engages the safety shaft with the trigger to disable the firing mechanism. Rotating the safety selector in a second direction rotates and disengages the safety shaft from the trigger to enable the firing mechanism for discharging the rifle. In one embodiment, the safety selector is mounted in a lower stock which includes a pistol grip. |

A compact survival firearm is a rifle with removable barrel having a frame defining a passage having a forward open aperture, a barrel having a breech end portion received in the frame, and having a forward portion extending forward of the aperture, the barrel having a rear end support portion adapted to be closely received in the frame passage such that is it laterally constrained by the frame, and the barrel having an intermediate support portion spaced apart from the rear end support portion and adapted to be selectably connected to an intermediate support portion of the frame, such that barrel is supported at spaced apart locations to provide stability. The rear end support portion and the intermediate support portion may be spaced apart by an elongated necked-down portion of the barrel having a smaller diameter than the rear end support portion and the intermediate support portion. |

A gun assembly comprising a cylindrical gun action mated within a generally semi-cylindrical cavity of a synthetic gunstock to thereby define a specialized interference fit between the gunstock and the gun action is disclosed herein. The innovative gun assembly comprises at least three zones of interference fit established by assembling together a synthetic gunstock that includes a specialized receiving cavity generally in the form of a semi-cylinder and defined by a first radius R1 (correspond to zone surfaces) and a second radius R2 (corresponds to relief surfaces); and a metallic gun action generally in the form of a cylinder defined by a third radius R3. In order to achieve the specialized interference fit, the length of the third radius is selected to be slightly greater than the length of the first radius. |
