B.l.t. bolt carrier

Abstract

A bolt assembly is provided for a firearm. The bolt assembly comprises a block adapted to connect to a firearm frame and a bolt carrier adapted to reciprocate within the frame. The bolt assembly comprises a support element between the block and the bolt carrier. The support element is adapted to reciprocate within the frame with respect to the cap and with respect to the bolt carrier. The first and second spaced apart parallel rods are connected to the cap and extending from the cap. The bolt carrier defines a pair of spaced apart bores receiving the rods. A first spring is interposed between the block and the support element, a second spring is received on the first rod, and a third spring is received on the second rod.

The claimed invention is:
