ABSTRACT:
A bolt catch assembly including a bolt engagement leg, a sliding member engagement leg, a contact member and an arrangement for enabling the bolt catch assembly to pivot about a pivot axis. The bolt engagement leg is configured for engaging a bolt of a firearm to hold the bolt in an open position. The sliding member engagement leg is connected to the bolt engagement leg. The contact member resiliently mounted on the sliding member engagement leg. The contact member is configured for being displaced between a static position and a displaced position whereby a catch engagement force is generated in response to the contact member being moved from the static position toward the displaced position. The arrangement for enabling the bolt catch assembly to pivot is disposed between the bolt engagement leg and the sliding member engagement leg thereby enabling the bolt engagement leg and the sliding member engagement leg to be pivoted in unison about the pivot axis of the bolt catch assembly.
