The invention relates to a repeating firearm, in particular a repeating rifle, which is configured as a straight-pull bolt action rifle, comprising a forestock and a bolt handle. The repeating firearm is selectively operable either with the forestock or with the bolt handle.

A compact action for a firearm including an upper receiver housing incorporating a barrel. A bolt and carrier are positioned within the receiver housing so that the bolt is engaged to a rear receiver end of the barrel in a cartridge chambering position. Guide rods are supported within the housing above the barrel and extend in parallel to a rear located end plate. The carrier includes a carrier key supported by and displaceable along the guide rods between the barrel and a rearward bumper component. A gas tube extends from a forward located gas block overlaying a gas discharge aperture in the barrel to a gas key for actuating the carrier rearwardly following discharge of a ballistic from the barrel. A fixed ejector is attached to the upper receiver, in combination with machining a slot into the carrier and the bolt, such that the ejector remains static such that, upon the bolt cycling, the spent shell casing contacts the ejector, causing it to be ejected out of the upper receiver.

A rifle having a straight pull bolt assembly with a bolt handle that extends outward and downward from a bolt operation mechanism. The bolt handle rotatable a limited rotational range forward and rearwardly about a horizontal axis for operating the mechanism. The handle can be reconfigured to position its rotational range about the horizontal axis and can be attached to the mechanism at either left or right sides to provide for ambidextrous operation. Bolt heads, lower frame members with magazine wells, and barrel assemblies can be readily swapped to change ammunition. The bolt assembly can be unlocked by firing or by a thumb push button release at the backside of the mechanism. A bolt removal release mechanism is forward of the thumb pushbutton and an ejector includes a spring bias and cam follower surface to reliably eject casings.

A bolt-action mechanism for accelerating the cycling speed of a firearm is provided. The bolt-action mechanism includes a rail configured to couple with a portion of a firearm, the rail is configured for reciprocation axially along the firearm, a cam defining a slot formed in a portion thereof, the slot is sizably configured to engage a portion of the firearm, and a charging handle, wherein the bolt-action mechanism is configured to cycle the firearm.

A firearm having a straight pull bolt action operating mechanism. The firearm has a lower receiver housing a trigger assembly, an upper receiver having a longitudinal axis, and a bolt carrier assembly within the upper receiver. The bolt carrier assembly has a bolt carrier, a bolt, a follower element, and an operating component. The bolt is received by the bolt carrier and is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis. The operating component is configured to be manually operated by a user.
