A slide action conversion assembly for converting a gas operated rifle into a manually operated slide action rifle. The conversion assembly replaces the gas operating system of the rifle with a linkage assembly attached to the original bolt carrier at a rearward end and to a sliding handguard grounded to a replacement stationary handguard at forward end. The linkage reciprocates within one degree of freedom along a path parallel to the barrel in order to manually cycle the converted firearm. The conversion assembly further incorporates a sliding handguard locking mechanism to prevent manual cycling when the firearm is in battery.

An automatic action assembly of a firearm, comprising a barrel (2) with a sliding cartridge chamber (1) arranged in a sliding way between the front and rear dead center. The movement of the sliding chamber (1) is delimited by at least one first stop (3) on the sliding chamber (1) and a corresponding at least one second stop (4) connected to the barrel (2). Between the first stop (3) and second stop (4), there is a play (A). In the rear part of the sliding chamber (1), a breech block (5) is lockably connected at the end of which a breech block (5) carrier (6) is to mounted in a sliding way. The breech block (5) carrier (6) is pushed by a return spring (7) towards the barrel (2). The breech block (5) is fitted with an unlocking mechanism for delayed disconnection of the breech block (5) from the sliding chamber (1).

The invention relates to a firearm comprising a housing (1) with a rigid barrel (2) arranged therein, a magazine that can be mounted in the receptacle of the housing (1) and provided with cartridges (4), a closure (3) that can be moved with respect to the housing (1) in the longitudinal direction of the barrel (2) and that is used to guide cartridges (4) from the magazine into a cartridge holder (5) or for ejecting empty cartridge cases. The closure (3) is mounted completely inside the housing (1) over its entire movement path. A sear frame (6) is coupled to the closure (3) which is tensioned by means of a closing spring (7) in the direction of the front closed position of the closure (3). The invention also relates to a locking block (8) coupled to the closure (3) when the closure is in the front closed position. The locking block (8) can be tensioned by a locking spring (9) in the direction of said position, and the locking block (8) can be moved when triggering a shot through the closure (3) by compressing the locking spring (9) only for one part of the movement path of the closure (3) until the decoupling position is reached together with the closure (3).

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 firearm's gas operating system. The firing pin retaining pin is oriented so as to expose its widest profile to the firing pin's annular flange, increasing its service life. The bolt has a plurality of lugs extending from its forward end. The extractor recess is constructed so that the face of the bolt is round and the adjacent lugs fully supported. The extractor engages approximately 17% more of a seated ammunition cartridge's rim as compared to the prior art AR15/M16 extractor. The result is an improved bolt and bolt carrier which provides for increased operational reliability.
