Elements of the present invention relate to the application of force to a bolt carrier within a firearm when the firearm becomes inoperable. Some elements relate to the application of force by leverage applied with a bar inserted through a weapon's magazine well. Some elements relate to a bar end with prongs that provide for clearance of a weapon's bolt shaft while engaging the weapon's bolt carrier. Some elements relate to accommodation of multiple weapon dimensions with a single tool.

A safety device for redirecting spent ammunition cartridge cases away from a rifleman or bystander as they are ejected from the ejector port of a semiautomatic or automatic rifle. In a first embodiment, the center mounted embodiment is preferred. The presented device includes a mounting clamp assembly, mounting rod and pivoting deflector. The deflector can be pivoted to permit the ejection pattern desired by the rifleman. In a second embodiment, the side mounted assembly, the mounting clamp assembly is attached to the right hand side rail of the forearm and barrel assembly. In the third embodiment, rear mounted assembly, the clamp mounting assembly is installed at the rear of the upper receiver rail. In a fourth embodiment, forward mounted assembly, the mounting clamp assembly is mounted on the forearm upper accessory mounting rail. All embodiments described herein apply to a left-handed version of the rifle.

The present disclosure generally relates to extractors for extracting cartridges from firearms, as well as bolts including the extractors, and barrels or barrel extensions configured to receive the bolts and extractors. The extractor includes a support brace having a width greater than 0.095 inches. A barrel extension includes a shortened lug to accommodate an extractor having a support brace with a width greater than 0.095 inches.

A rotating bolt firearm may be configured to fire a .308 cartridge. However, the firearm may have a reduced weight in comparison to standard .308 rifles. The firearm may have many components typically used in a .223 rifle. The firearm may include a barrel extension with an extractor gap, which allows a .308 bolt to fit within a .223 sized barrel extension. The firearm may comprise an elongated magazine well in comparison to a .223 mil-spec rifle. The firearm may weigh less than 6.8 pounds with a 16 inch barrel, or less than 6.3 pounds with a 10.5 inch barrel.

A gun part with integral spare extractor has a planar element having a first periphery and form adapted to provide a first gun part function, the planar element including an integral and detachable removable element having a periphery adapted to provide a second gun part function, and at least a portion of the periphery of the removable element being defined by an elongated articulated opening defined in the planar element such that the removable element is connected only by a limited portion that is breakable without affecting the utility of the planar element and the removable element. The removable element may be positioned away from the first periphery such that an enclosed aperture is defined by the opening upon removal of the removable element. The opening may be an articulated cut of consistent width. The removable part may be connected to the planar element by only a single span.

A rife includes a receiver and a bolt body at least partially disposed in the receiver and including a body axis. The bolt body is discretely (1) rotatable about the body axis within the receiver and (2) axially slidable along the body axis. The rife also includes a bolt handle coupled to the bolt body so as to discretely (1) rotate with the bolt body about the body axis and (2) move with the bolt body along the body axis.
