Provided is a fast cycling/low recoil pistol caliber carbine assembly. The carbine assembly may include an upper receiver, a lower receiver, a feed ramp, a bolt stop, a magazine, a control mechanism comprising a control lever, a control base, a control pivot pin, and a control spring, an ejector, a gap filler member. The assembly provides last round bolt hold open, trigger finger actuated bolt release, short stroke cycle, barrel ramp, ambidextrous magazine release, and uses Glock magazines.

Claims (16)

1. A carbine assembly comprising:

an upper receiver;

a lower receiver with a magazine fillable with ammunition, wherein the magazine is removably coupled to the lower receiver; and

a bolt stop/feed assembly coupled within the upper receiver and the lower receiver, the bolt stop/feed assembly comprising a bolt stop rotatably coupled to a feed ramp, wherein the bolt stop rotates with respect to the feed ramp and the bolt stop/feed assembly is configured to feed ammunition into a barrel of the carbine assembly and stop operation of the bolt carrier when a last round of ammunition is fired from the carbine assembly upper receiver.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an ejector coupled to the upper receiver.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the feed ramp comprises a cartridge feed ramp surface that extends from a first surface to a second surface of the feed ramp.

4. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the feed ramp further comprises protrusion members extending from each side of the feed ramp surface, each protrusion member having a tapered surface, wherein the feed ramp surface and protrusion members with tapered surfaces operate to direct a round of ammunition into the barrel.

5. A carbine assembly comprising:

a lower receiver with a magazine fillable with ammunition, the magazine removably coupled to the lower receiver, wherein the lower receiver comprises:

a right-side gap and a left-side gap for receiving a control arm through the right-side gap for a right-hand shooter or receiving the control arm through the left-side gap for a left-hand shooter; and

a gap filling device removably coupled to the left-side gap for a right-hand shooter and coupled to the right-side gap for a left-hand shooter;

an upper receiver configured for a left-hand shooter or a right-hand shooter;

a bolt stop/feed assembly coupled within the upper receiver and the lower receiver and operatively coupled to the control arm, the bolt stop/feed assembly comprising a bolt stop rotatably coupled to a feed ramp, wherein the bolt stop rotates with respect to the feed ramp and the bolt stop/feed assembly is configured to feed ammunition into a barrel of the carbine assembly and stop operation of the bolt carrier when a last round of ammunition is fired from the carbine assembly upper receiver.

6. The assembly of claim 5 , further comprising an ejector coupled to the upper receiver.

7. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein the feed ramp comprises a cartridge feed ramp surface that extends from a first surface to a second surface of the feed ramp.

8. The assembly of claim 7 , wherein the feed ramp further comprises protrusion members extending from each side of the feed ramp surface, each protrusion member having a tapered surface, wherein the feed ramp surface and protrusion members with tapered surfaces operate to direct a round of ammunition into the barrel.
