Abstract

An improved bolt and bolt carrier with integral gas key having an extension nozzle threadedly secured and pinned to the gas key for use with a direct gas operated firearm is provided. The extension nozzle is designed to receive a portion of the host firearms gas operating system. The firing pin retaining pin is oriented so as to expose its widest profile to the firing pins annular flange, increasing its service life. The bolt has a plurality of lugs extending from its forward end and an extractor recess. The extractor recess is constructed to accommodate an enlarged extractor claw while not undercutting the bolt lugs adjacent thereto. The extractor engages approximately 57% more of a seated ammunition cartridges rim as compared to some prior art AR15/M16 type extractors used with automatic firearms chambered in 6.8SPC. The result is an improved bolt and bolt carrier which provides for increased operational reliability.

Claims (37)

1. A bolt for a firearm, the bolt comprising:

a body having a front end, a rear end, and a body portion extending between the front end and the rear end of the body; and

an extractor having a forward end, a back end, and a body portion extending between the forward end and the back end of the extractor,

wherein the body defines an extractor recess configured to accommodate the extractor,

wherein the body includes a mating surface recessed into the front end and defining a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body portion of the extractor, the mating surface configured to rest against a case head of an ammunition cartridge,

wherein a portion of the forward end of the extractor is configured to engage a rim of the case head of the ammunition cartridge, the portion of the forward end of the extractor being wider than the body portion of the extractor,

wherein the front end of the body includes at least a first bolt lug and a second bolt lug extending radially outwardly from an exterior of the front end of the body and defining an annular structure about the front end of the body, the first bolt lug and the second bolt lug defining a gap therebetween in the annular structure, the gap being in communication with, and wider than, the extractor recess and being configured to accommodate the portion of the forward end of the extractor, and

wherein each side of the gap in the annular structure is defined by at least two pairs of sidewalls.

2. The bolt of claim 1 , wherein a first pair of the at least two pairs of side walls defines a first width of a portion of the gap that is located rearward of the plane of the mating surface, and

wherein a second pair of the at least two pairs of side walls defines a second width of a portion of the gap that is located forward of the plane of the mating surface.

3. The bolt of claim 2 , wherein the second width is greater than the first width.

4. The bolt of claim 2 , wherein the first pair of sidewalls includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, each defining a portion of a respective sidewall of the extractor recess.

5. The bolt of claim 2 , wherein the first sidewall is coplanar with a sidewall of the first bolt lug and the second sidewall is coplanar with a sidewall of the second bolt lug.

6. The bolt of claim 2 , wherein a plane defined by the first sidewall intersects with a plane defined by the second sidewall.

7. The bolt of claim 1 , wherein the second pair of sidewalls includes a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall, and

wherein a portion of each of the third sidewall and the fourth sidewall is located forward of the plane of the mating surface.

8. The bolt of claim 7 , wherein a plane defined by the third sidewall is parallel to a plane defined by the fourth sidewall.

9. The bolt of claim 8 , wherein the front end of the body includes at least a third bolt lug extending radially outwardly from the exterior of the front end of the body,

wherein the plane defined by the third sidewall intersects with a junction of a sidewall of the third bolt lug with the annular structure.

10. The bolt of claim 8 , wherein the front end of the body includes at least a third bolt lug and a fourth bolt lug extending radially outwardly from the exterior of the front end of the body, and

wherein the plane defined by the third sidewall intersects with a junction of a sidewall of the third bolt lug with the annular structure and the plane defined by the fourth sidewall intersects with a junction of a sidewall of the fourth bolt lug with the annular structure.

11. The bolt of claim 1 , wherein the portion of the forward end of the extractor is configured to grasp one of equal to and greater than 26% of the rim of the case head of the ammunition cartridge.

12. The bolt of claim 1 , wherein the rear end of the body comprises two circumferential flanges.

13. The bolt of claim 1 , wherein said back end of said extractor is wider than said body portion of the extractor.

14. A bolt carrier assembly for a firearm, the assembly comprising a bolt including:

a body having a front end, a rear end, and a body portion extending between the front end and the rear end of the body; and

an extractor having a forward end, a back end, and a body portion extending between the forward end and the back end of the extractor,

wherein the body defines an extractor recess configured to accommodate the extractor,

wherein the body includes a mating surface recessed into the front end and defining a plane that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body portion of the extractor, the mating surface configured to rest against a case head of an ammunition cartridge,

wherein a portion of the forward end of the extractor is configured to engage a rim of the case head of the ammunition cartridge, the portion of the forward end of the extractor being wider than the body portion of the extractor,

wherein the front end of the body includes at least a first bolt lug and a second bolt lug extending radially outwardly from an exterior of the front end of the body and defining an annular structure about the front end of the body, the first bolt lug and the second bolt lug defining a gap therebetween in the annular structure, the gap being in communication with, and wider than, the extractor recess and being configured to accommodate the portion of the forward end of the extractor, and

wherein each side of the gap in the annular structure is defined by at least two pairs of sidewalls.

15. The bolt carrier assembly of claim 14 , further comprising a gas block with an extension nozzle provided on the gas block.

16. The bolt carrier assembly of claim 15 , wherein the extension nozzle is secured by any of threading, welding, press fitting or combinations thereof.

17. The bolt carrier assembly of claim 15 , further comprising a roll pin securing the extension nozzle.

18. The bolt carrier assembly of claim 15 , further comprising a port in the gas block.

19. The bolt carrier assembly of claim 15 , wherein the port is angled relative to the longitudinal axis of the assembly.
