ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus to secure a bolt in a jammed position are disclosed. A disclosed firearm includes a housing; a mounting bracket carried by the housing; and a cocking slide slidably engaging the mounting bracket external to the housing. The cocking slide is engageable with the bolt in order to move the bolt against the force of a closing spring and into a cocked position. In the event of a jam, the cocking slide is engageable with the bolt in order to lock the bolt in a jammed position between the fired position and the cocked position.
