In the vertical position of the handle as shown in FIGURE 23'with pointer 167 pointing upwardly, the rifle is in the semi-automatic firing condition. When pointer 167 is moved counterclockwise, the rifle mechanism is in the safe condition. When the pointer 167 is moved clockwise the rifle mechanism is in the automatic condition.

  • the cam surface on 168 will move surface 104 in a clockwise direction so that surface 103 of FIGURE 17 will not be engaged by the bolt carrier and therefore automatic firing will not take place.

  • FIGURE 10 It will be noted in FIGURE 10 that as bolt carrier 6 moves rearwardly under the impact from the gas operated push rod 5, that the rear portion of bolt carrier 6 presses the upper portion of hammer 120 into the lower receiver portion 9. If the fire selection switch is set for automatic firing, portion 105 of member 19 will move in a counterclockwise direction and will engage and stop portion 135 of the hammer 120 until released by the forward motion of the bolt carrier as described above. If, as described above, the automatic firing is locked out by the position of the fire selection lever, then members 105 and 135 will not engage and the hammer then will be held by sear surfaces 131 and 132 being engaged. If
  • the operation of the rifle is as follows: there are two separate firing systems, one for automatic and one for semi-automatic firing. If the full automatic sear system is removed or damaged the rifle can be fired in a semiautomatic condition.
  • the hammer after impinging upon the firing pin and discharging the cartridge, is rotated counterclockwise by the bolt carrier. Since the time span for the above cycle, i.e., firing and recocking, is only a small fraction of a second, the trigger finger of the shooter does not have enough time to release the trigger, i.e., to allow the trigger spring to rotate the trigger counter-lockwise and thus engage surface 132 with trigger surface 131. Therefore, the disconnect claw 129 is first cammed counter-clockwise by hammer surface 130, then snaps over and catches the hammer at 130.
  • the trigger still held by the trigger finger against the cutout in the selective fire lever, gradually relaxes, thus permitting the trigger spring to rotate the trigger with disconnect counter-clockwise, whereby the trigger forces the disconnect counter-clockwise by means of pin 122 and surface X.
  • the weapon has now completed its cycle and is again ready to fire.
  • cutout 135 in the hammer allows the sear spring to snap the sear counter-clockwise into the cutout and eventually engage surfaces 105 and 135.
  • the bolt carrier has reached the end of its rearward stroke and glides forward (feeding a new cartridge). The bolt carrier then locks the bolt and strikes surface 103 of the sear extension (FIGURE 17) and releases the hammer by causing the sear to rotate clockwise.
