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.

A bolt assembly for a bolt action firearm includes a bolt body, a handle coupled to the bolt body, and a shroud that receives the bolt body and the handle. Rotation of the shroud with respect to the bolt body allows the handle to be removed from the bolt assembly. A bolt handle for a firearm includes a shaft having a radial extension at one end and a knob at an opposite end, a radial protrusion extending from the radial extension, and prongs extending from the radial extension that define a space for coupling the handle to the bolt body without engaging a firing arm of the firearm.

Bolt assemblies for firearms (e.g., bolt action firearms) and methods of assembling and disassembling same are disclosed herein. In particular aspects, bolt assemblies comprising a bolt body, a bolt handle, a bolt shroud, and a clip that secures the bolt shroud to the bolt body are disclosed. The bolt shroud preferably resists removal of the bolt handle from the bolt body.

Mid lock-up receivers have an elongated cylindrical body, the body defining a passage, the body having a first rear portion and a second forward portion adjacent to and forward of the rear portion, the first rear portion defining a first passage segment having a first diameter and the second forward portion defining a second passage segment having a second diameter greater than the first diameter, a forward facing step surface defined at a forward face of the first rear portion, an elongated cylindrical sleeve defining a sleeve passage and received in the second passage segment, the sleeve having a rear end spaced apart from the step surface, and the sleeve being compressively received in the body wherein the body is in tension about the sleeve, and the sleeve is compressed by the body. The sleeve may be thermally bonded to the body.

A method of assembling a bolt handle to a bolt assembly of a firearm includes inserting the bolt handle through a handle opening defined by a bolt body. A distal end of the bolt handle is inserted through the handle opening until the distal end extends past an outer perimeter of the bolt body. At least a portion of a bolt shroud is inserted through a first portion of an aperture defined by the bolt handle. A force is applied to the bolt shroud while the bolt handle is retracted within the handle opening of the bolt body so that the bolt shroud is positioned within a second portion of the aperture. The bolt shroud is held in connection with the bolt handle when the bolt shroud is positioned within the second portion of the aperture to secure the bolt handle to the bolt body.
