FIREARM TRIGGER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

摘要

Provided are systems and methods related to firearm trigger assemblies. An open design trigger assembly is provided to allow easier access to the trigger action. The trigger assembly is preferably an override trigger assembly, which may include adjustable trigger travel limiter and trigger bias force. Methods according to the present invention include a first step of removing either a direct-pull or a closed design trigger assembly from a firearm and replacing such removed assembly with an open design override trigger assembly.

主权项

1. A method of modifying a firearm, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a firearm having a firing pin and a first trigger assembly configured to cooperate with the firing pin to maintain the firing pin in a cocked position; removing the first trigger assembly from the firearm; and installing a second trigger assembly on the firearm, the second trigger assembly comprising:
a first lever extending between a first lever first end and a first lever second end and including a second-lever engagement means, wherein the first lever is pivotable about a first lever axis and the first lever is biased in a first rotational direction about the first lever axis;a second lever extending between a second lever first end and a second lever second end and including a protrusion extending therefrom, wherein the second lever is pivotable about a second lever axis and the second lever is biased in a second rotational direction about the second lever axis, and further wherein the second lever axis is at least substantially parallel with the first lever axis; anda third lever extending between a third lever first end and a third lever second end and including a lower rocker surface and an upper pin surface, wherein the third lever is pivotable about a third lever axis, wherein the third lever axis is at least substantially parallel to the first lever axis;wherein the second-lever engagement means rests in contact with the protrusion to prevent rotation of the second lever opposite the second rotational direction, and the third lever is prevented from rotating in a third rotational direction about the third lever axis by the contact of the lower rocker surface with the second lever.
