Abstract:
1. An automatic sear assembly for a rifle, the assembly comprising: an automatic sear configured to be operatively coupled with a safe/fire selector switch and a hammer of the rifle; a sear lever disposed adjacent a rear surface of the automatic sear and extending beyond a height of the automatic sear; a first spring disposed adjacent the sear lever and the rear surface of the automatic sear and configured to bias the sear lever into physical contact with the rear surface of the automatic sear; and a second spring disposed adjacent the sear lever and the rear surface of the automatic sear and configured to operatively interface with the safe/fire selector switch; wherein the automatic sear, the sear lever, the first spring, and the second spring share a rotational axis; and wherein rotational deflection of the sear lever in a first direction about the shared rotational axis causes the sear lever to rotate out of physical contact with the rear surface of the automatic sear, and rotational deflection of the sear lever in a second direction about the shared rotational axis imparts rotation to the automatic sear causing the automatic sear to sear with the hammer of the rifle.
