Firearm trigger
Disclosed is a linear trigger mechanism for a firearm. In certain examples, the trigger mechanism includes a trigger housing defining a linear pathway and configured to house a trigger, a sear, and a disconnector. The trigger has a top surface, and a sear ramp and a disconnector ramp disposed on the top surface. The trigger is configured to move along the linear pathway that is substantially parallel with a bore axis of the firearm. The trigger mechanism also includes a trigger return compression spring configured to urge the trigger into a default position, and a sear compression spring configured to urge the sear into a default position.
1. A trigger mechanism for a firearm, comprising:
a monolithic trigger including a sear ramp and a disconnector ramp on a top surface thereof;
a trigger housing defining a linear pathway and configured to house the trigger, a sear, and a disconnector;
where the trigger is configured to move along the linear pathway, which is substantially parallel with a bore axis of the firearm;
a trigger return compression spring configured to urge the trigger into a default position; and
a sear compression spring configured to urge the sear into a default position.
2. The trigger mechanism of claim 1 , where the trigger housing further comprises a pair of opposing slide rails, where each of the pair of opposing slide rails is defined by a recess in an interior lateral side of the trigger housing and is disposed substantially parallel with the bore axis.
3. The trigger mechanism of claim 2 , where the trigger is configured to slide in the pair of opposing slide rails between a first default position and a second position.
4. The trigger mechanism of claim 3 , where the trigger return compression spring is disposed between the trigger housing and the trigger.
5. The trigger mechanism of claim 1 , where the disconnector and the sear are pivotable about a common pin.
6. The trigger mechanism of claim 5 , where the sear comprises a first end extending in a first direction from the common pin and a second end extending in a second direction from the common pin.
7. The trigger mechanism of claim 6 , where the sear compression spring is disposed between the first end and a hammer.
8. The trigger mechanism of claim 7 , where the second end of the sear comprises a sear hook member configured to engage the hammer until a force sufficient enough to overcome the sear compression spring is applied to the sear by the sear ramp.
9. The trigger mechanism of claim 8 , where the sear ramp is disposed on a planar top surface of the trigger.
10. The trigger mechanism of claim 7 , where the disconnector comprises a first end extending in the first direction from the common pin and a second end extending in the second direction from the common pin.
11. The trigger mechanism of claim 10 , where the first end of the disconnector comprises a hook member configured to engage a surface of the hammer.
12. A firearm having a linearly moveable trigger with respect to the firearm, the firearm comprising:
a trigger housing defining a linear pathway and configured to house the trigger, a sear, and a disconnector;
the trigger being monolithic and including a sear ramp and a disconnector ramp on a top surface thereof, and where the trigger is configured to move along the linear pathway, which is substantially parallel with a bore axis of the firearm;
a trigger return compression spring configured to urge the trigger into a default position; and
a sear compression spring configured to urge the sear into a default position.
13. The firearm of claim 12 , where the trigger housing further comprises a pair of opposing slide rails, where each of the pair of opposing slide rails is defined by a recess in an interior lateral side of the trigger housing and is disposed substantially parallel with the bore axis.
14. The firearm of claim 13 , where the trigger is configured to slide in the pair of opposing slide rails between a first default position and a second position.
15. The firearm of claim 14 , where the trigger return compression spring is disposed between the trigger housing and the trigger.
16. The firearm of claim 12 , where the disconnector and the sear are pivotable about a common pin.
17. The firearm of claim 16 , where the sear comprises a first end extending in a first direction from the common pin and a second end extending in a second direction from the common pin.
18. The firearm of claim 17 , where the sear compression spring is disposed between the first end and a hammer.
19. The firearm of claim 18 , where the second end of the sear comprises a sear hook member configured to engage the hammer until a force sufficient enough to overcome the sear compression spring is applied to the sear by the sear ramp.
20. The firearm of claim 19 , where the sear ramp is disposed on a planar top surface of the trigger.
