Adapted forced reset trigger
In a forced rest trigger mechanism, provided is an extended trigger member locking device having a locking member that is movable between a first position in which it locks a trigger member against pulling movement and a second position where it does not restrict movement of the trigger member. The locking member is configured to be movably supported by a frame and includes a generally upward extension portion configured to make actuating contact with a surface of a bolt carrier. The locking member has a body portion that is movably supported and an upward extension portion that is separately movable relative to the body portion between an extended position and a deflected position.
1. In a forced rest trigger mechanism, an extended trigger member locking device, comprising:
a locking member that is movable between a first position in which it locks a trigger member against pulling movement and a second position where it does not restrict movement of the trigger member, the locking member configured to be movably supported by a frame and including a generally upward extension portion configured to make actuating contact with a surface of a bolt carrier, such actuating contact causing the locking member to move from the first position to the second position, the locking member having a body portion that is movably supported and an upwardly extending deflectable portion that is separately movable relative to the body portion between an extended position and a deflected position.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the locking member is supported by a trigger housing.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the locking member body portion pivots between the first and second positions.
4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the locking member deflectable portion pivots relative to the body portion.
5. The device of claim 3 , wherein the locking member deflectable portion pivots relative to the body portion on a pivot axis coaxial with that of the body portion.
6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the locking member deflectable portion is spring biased toward the extended position.
