Abstract

A simulated trigger assembly for a firearm includes at least one body with at least one recess, a magnet disposed within the at least one recess, an initial configuration, and a simulated fired configuration. In the initial configuration, the magnet is at least immediately adjacent to a moveable portion. In the simulated fired configuration, the moveable portion has moved to separate the moveable portion from the magnet.

First claim

That which is claimed is:

1 . A simulated trigger assembly for a firearm comprising:
at least one body comprising at least one recess; a magnet disposed within the at least one recess; an initial configuration; and a simulated fired configuration, wherein: in the initial configuration the magnet is at least immediately adjacent to a moveable portion; in the simulated fired configuration the moveable portion has moved to separate the moveable portion from the magnet; the simulated trigger assembly is configured to simulate a two stage fire control group; and the magnet is arranged in a fixed position.

2 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 1 , wherein the moveable portion is a lever arm disposed above a fire control group.

3 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 1 , wherein the moveable portion is a forward portion of a trigger.

4 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one recess comprises a ledge that defines a bottom location of the magnet.

5 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 3 , further comprising a set screw disposed within the at least one recess to define a movement limit for the moveable portion.

6 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 1 , wherein the magnet comprises at least one shape selected from the group of a disk or a cylinder.

7 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 1 , wherein a bolt carrier group is removed from the firearm to accommodate a portion of the simulated trigger assembly.

8 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least one body comprises a primary member and an upper member.

9 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 8 , wherein:
the upper member comprises the moveable portion; and the primary member comprises a rear arm that interfaces with both the moveable portion and a trigger.

10 . A simulated trigger assembly for a firearm comprising:
a primary member disposed at least partially in a firearm lower receiver; an upper member disposed at least partially in a firearm upper receiver; a lever arm disposed at least partially in the upper member; an internal lever disposed at least partially in the primary member; a set screw disposed within the upper member to define a movement limit for the lever arm; a rear arm disposed at least partially in the primary member; and at least one attraction portion disposed at least partially in the upper member.

11 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein the at least one attraction portion comprises a magnet.

12 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein the lever arm is disposed above a fire control group.

13 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein the upper member comprises at least one recess that comprises a ledge that defines a bottom location of the at least one attraction portion.

14 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , further comprising an initial configuration and a simulated fired configuration, wherein:
in the initial configuration the at least one attraction portion is at least immediately adjacent to the lever arm; and in the simulated fired configuration the lever arm has moved to separate the lever arm from the at least one attraction portion.

15 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein the simulated trigger assembly is configured to simulate a single stage fire control group.

16 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein the at least one attraction portion comprises at least one shape selected from the group of a disk or a cylinder.

17 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein:
the simulated trigger assembly is configured to simulate a two stage fire control group; and the at least one attraction portion is arranged in a fixed position.

18 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein a bolt carrier group is removed from the firearm to accommodate a portion of the simulated trigger assembly.

19 . The simulated trigger assembly of claim 10 , wherein the rear arm interfaces with both the lever arm and a trigger.

20 . A simulated trigger assembly for a firearm comprising:
at least one body comprising at least one recess; a magnet disposed within the at least one recess; an initial configuration; and a simulated fired configuration, wherein: in the initial configuration the magnet is at least immediately adjacent to a moveable portion; in the simulated fired configuration the moveable portion has moved to separate the moveable portion from the magnet; and the moveable portion is a forward portion of a trigger.
