Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments include a completely redesigned fire control group to allow the safety to be engaged at any time. This unique feature can reduce or eliminate the possibility of accidental discharges of the weapon system, as engaging the safety will not allow the hammer to move forward even in the event of a malfunction.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of transitioning a rifle into a safe mode, comprising:\n providing a rifle comprising a hammer, a selector, and a trigger having a first portion configured to be engaged by a user to fire the weapon, a second portion configured to contact the hammer and retain the hammer in a ready to fire position and to move relative to the hammer when the first portion is engaged by a user to release the hammer and fire the weapon, and a third portion configured to contact a selector and prevent the firing of the weapon when the weapon is in a safe mode; positioning the selector into the safe mode position before the hammer is positioned in the ready to fire position; transitioning the hammer into contact with the second portion to retain the hammer in a ready to fire position after the selector is positioned into the safe mode position.
