Abstract

A fire control group system for a firearm includes a trigger that includes a trigger base, a trigger extension extending from the trigger base, and an over-travel member coupled to the trigger base at a front end thereof. The trigger base has a sear hook extending therefrom and defining a recess and a transverse bore intersecting the recess. The over-travel member has a contact surface and is moveable relative to the trigger base such that a distance in a vertical direction between the contact surface and the trigger base is adjustable.

Claims (23)

1. A fire control group system for a firearm, comprising:

a trigger having a trigger base, a trigger extension extending from the trigger base, and an over-travel member coupled to the trigger base at a front end thereof, the trigger base having a sear hook extending therefrom and defining a recess and a transverse bore intersecting the recess, the over-travel member having a contact surface and being moveable relative to the trigger base such that a distance in a vertical direction between the contact surface and the trigger base is adjustable;

a disconnector having a disconnector body and a sear hook extending from the disconnector body, the disconnector body defining a transverse bore extending therethrough and being configured to be received within the recess of the trigger base so that the transverse bores of the trigger base and disconnector align; and

a hammer having a spring spool and a hammer body extending from the spring spool, the spring spool defining a transverse bore extending therethrough, the hammer body having a strike face and a sear extending from an end of the hammer body, the sear being configured to engage the sear hooks of the trigger and disconnector when coupled to a receiver of a firearm.

2. The fire control group system of claim 1 , wherein the over-travel member is a cam lobe coupled to a side of the trigger base and rotatable about a pivot axis, the cam lobe having cam surface eccentric relative to the pivot axis.

3. The fire control group system of claim 2 , wherein the trigger base includes a first threaded opening extending in a first direction and a second threaded opening extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction.

4. The fire control group system of claim 3 , further comprising a pivot screw and a set screw, the pivot screw being configured to extend through the cam lobe and into the second threaded opening to allow rotation of the cam lobe about the pivot axis, the set screw being configured to extend into the first opening and into contact with the pivot screw to prohibit rotation of the pivot screw within the second opening.

5. The fire control group system of claim 4 , wherein the set screw has a threaded shaft and a nub extending from the threaded shaft, the nub being made of a softer material than the pivot screw.

6. The fire control group system of claim 1 , further comprising a safety engagement member and the trigger base includes a safety engagement block extending from the trigger base in a rearward direction, the safety engagement member being connectable to the safety engagement block and moveable in a vertical direction relative thereto.

7. The fire control group system of claim 6 , wherein the safety engagement member includes a cross-bar and opposed legs extending from the cross bar, the safety engagement block having a saddle configured to receive the legs in a slidable manner.

8. The fire control group system of claim 6 , wherein the safety engagement member is a threaded fastener having a head and a threaded shaft, the safety engagement block defining a threaded opening extending therein in a vertical direction, the threaded shaft of the threaded fastener being configured to engage the threaded opening.

9. The fire control group system of claim 6 , wherein the safety engagement member is a cam lobe rotatably coupled to a side of safety engagement block.

10. The fire control group system of claim 1 , further comprising a pre-travel member coupled to the trigger base at a rear end thereof, the pre-travel member having a contact surface and being moveable relative to the trigger base such that a distance between the contact surface of the pre-travel member and the trigger base in a vertical direction is adjustable.

11. The fire control group system of claim 10 , wherein the pre-travel member is a cam lobe coupled to a side of the trigger base and rotatable about a pivot axis, the cam lobe having cam surface eccentric relative to the pivot axis.

12. The fire control group system of claim 11 , wherein the trigger base includes a first threaded opening extending in a first direction and a second threaded opening extending in a second direction transverse to the first direction.

13. The fire control group system of claim 12 , further comprising a pivot screw and a set screw, the pivot screw being configured to extend through the cam lobe and into the second threaded opening to allow rotation of the cam lobe about the pivot axis, the set screw being configured to extend into the first opening and into contact with the pivot screw to prohibit rotation of the pivot screw within the second opening.

14. The fire control group system of claim 13 , wherein the set screw has a threaded shaft and a nub extending from the threaded shaft, the nub being made of a softer material than the pivot screw.

15. The fire control group system of claim 1 , further comprising a forced reset member and the trigger base includes an arm extending from a rear end thereof, the forced reset member having a contact surface and being moveably coupled to the arm such that a distance in a vertical direction between the contact surface of the forced reset member and the arm is adjustable.

16. The fire control group system of claim 15 , wherein the forced reset member is a cam lobe coupled to a side of arm and is rotatable about a pivot axis, the cam lobe having a cam surface eccentric relative to the pivot axis.

17. The fire control group system of claim 1 , wherein the strike face of the hammer is curved in a plane extending transverse to a length of the hammer body.

18. The fire control group system of claim 17 , wherein the hammer body has at least one recess extending into the hammer body at opposing sides thereof and the hammer body has a rib defining a perimeter of the at least one recess.

19. The fire control group system of claim 1 , further comprising a pivot pin assembly, the pivot pin assembly having a pivot pin and a first screw, the pivot pin having an expandable head and a shaft extending from the expandable head, the expandable head having a threaded opening, the first screw being configured to be received within the threaded opening so that rotation of the first screw expands the expandable head, the pivot pin shaft being configured to be received within the transverse bores of the trigger base and disconnector body and/or the transverse bore of the hammer.

20. The fire control group system of claim 19 , further comprising a second screw, wherein the pivot pin shaft has an expandable end and has a threaded opening extending within the expandable end, the second screw being configured to be received within the threaded opening so that rotation of the first screw expands the expandable end.
