Definitions

  • This invention relates to receivers used in rifles which receivers have seating surfaces against which bolt lugs are positioned and to the method of manufacture of the receiver with such seating surfaces wherein the preamble of claims 1 and 3 is based on US-A-1924692.
  • the present invention overcomes weaknesses of the prior art by providing an improved receiver and method of manufacture.
  • a receiver for a bolt action firearm having a barrel, a bolt with lugs a stock, a receiver housing having a forward portion adapted to engage the barrel, a rearward portion adapted to engage the stock and hollow breech portion between said forward and rearward portions characterised in that there is provided; two seat surfaces on the rearward receiver portions for mating with spaced lugs on the bolt, said seat surfaces being formed by a single stroke of a broach cutting means.
  • a method of manufacture of a receiver for a bolt action firearm comprising a rearward position with a breech opening adjacent thereto characterised in that the method includes the steps of:-
  • the invention concerns the formation of a receiver having forward, breech opening and rearward portions with two spaced bolt lugs seats positioned on the rearward portion so that they can be readily formed by the simple broaching operation.
  • the broach is passed through the breech opening to machine the lug seats.
  • the lug seats may afterforming g lie in a plane perpendicular to the bore of the rifle barrel.
  • the receiver blank can be cast with a controlled amount of metal material in the areas adjacent the seats to be formed such that the seats can be formed in a single stroke of a broaching tool.
  • rifle 10 includes barrel 11, receiver 12, breech bolt assembly 13, bolt 14, bolt handle 16, bolt head sleeve 17 and cocking piece 19. Also shown are stock 21 and tang 22.
  • Receiver 12 includes forward portion 23, rearward portion 24 and a hollow breech portion 26.
  • Bolt 14 carries upper bolt lug 27 and lower bolt lug 28.
  • Forward receiver portion 24 has upper lug seat 27a and lower lug seat 28a.
  • Bolt lugs 27 and 28 engage receiver lug seats 27a and 28a when the bolt is in its closed position (Fig. 1).
  • Figs. 3 and 4 the method of manufacture of receiver lug seats 27a and 28a is shown in which a broach 35 is positioned in breech opening 30.
  • the receiver blank is formed by investment casting, forging or other method. Portions of the receiver blank are then finished by machining, grinding or otherwise as known in the art.
  • the forward areas 31, 32 of the rearward portion 24 are partially removed by machining to provide the desired location of surfaces 27a and 28a.
  • the receiver blank includes metal material in the forward areas 31, 32 of the rearward receiver portion 24 so that metal removed from area 31, 32 by machining provides surface seats 27a, 28a of proper area and location within acceptable tolerances.
  • the method of manufacture provides that the volume of metal material in areas 31,32 preferably does not exceed that which can be machined by one stroke of a broach tool. By controlling the amount of metal in areas 31, 32 seats 27a, 28a can be formed in one broach stroke.
  • broach tool 35 has broach teeth 36 which machine metal from the forward areas 31, 32 as broach 35 is moved downwardly (see arrow in Fig. 4).
  • Broach 35 carries sufficient teeth of selected size, length and angle such that the machining of forward areas 31, 32 to form seat surfaces 27a and 28a is accomplished in one downward stroke.
  • Broach 35 is preferably positioned to move perpendicularly to the axis of the barrel or a line parallel thereto (see centre line C/L of Fig. 4). With broach 35 so oriented during its machining stroke, seat surfaces 27a and 28a will be in the same plane and each seat surface equidistant from the end of the barrel 11.
