For rimless cases, the groove at the base serves as the grabbing point from which the extractor works. Not all single-shot firearms have extractors, though many do. Break-action shotguns, double rifles, and combination guns typically have an extractor that pushes out the casings when the action is flexed open. Most modern extractors are ...
It fits under the rail of a Samson or similar rail system on the AR-15-type rifle, but can to perform acceptably on bolt action 7.62×51mm/.308 rifles as well), 762-AR10 Suppressor (designed for the AR-10/LAR-8 7.62mm/.308 rifle but will also work with any bolt-action rifle in .30 caliber or less) and 762-G3 Suppressor (designed for the Heckler ...
Bolt action: A type of firearm action in which the firearm's bolt is operated manually by the opening and closing of the breech with a small handle. As the handle is operated, the bolt is unlocked, the breech is opened, the spent shell casing is withdrawn and ejected, the firing pin is cocked, and a new round/shell (if available) is placed into ...
Most controlled feed mechanisms use a fixed mechanical ejector attached to the receiver, which results in the bolt having to be pulled all or almost all the way back to eject the spent casing. This can give a marginally quicker cyclic rate with a push feed action, since the bolt no longer has to be repeated as far or all the way back. [10]

ArmaLite announced the introduction of the AR-31 at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers Expo in October 2013. The AR-31 is a short-action rifle based on the long-action AR-30A1. The initial rifle offered was chambered in .308 Win, and the rifle will accept AR-10B magazines. [5]
In manually operated firearms, such as bolt-action, lever-action, and pump-action rifles or shotguns, the bolt is held fixed by its locking lugs during firing, forcing all the expanding gas forward. It is manually unlocked and moved to extract the spent casing and chamber another round.
Starting with a .450 Bushmaster case, Remington trimmed the length to 1.525 in from the original 1.7 and necked it down to accept a conical .308 in diameter bullet with a 25-degree shoulder. [ 4 ] The rim size is .492 in and because the round generates 55,000 psi, Remington opted to use a .308 rifle bolt in a 5.56-sized rifle for increased case ...
