Anyone got a link for that Was talking in another thread and forced reset 1911 got mentioned again Quoted: A broad patent like that can't hold up because forced reset 1911's were patented 80+ years ago. I’ve seen a force reset 1911 patent mentioned before but haven’t seen the papers on it |

Try searching here Good luck. The language and wording used to describe the patents can be confusing. During the 1930s and in particular the 1940s, there were a whole swath of patents related to firearms. I did find some patents that might be what you’re looking for. One appeared to be three-round burst. Keywords and patience… maybe a pot or two of coffee to help you along. |

Quoted: To be clear, the patent didn't say forced reset. It was a machinegun patent that operated by pushing the trigger forward. No problem man Even the fact that you remember about something like that is important enough to dig into at some point The word doesn’t have to be exact. The mechanical motion or process is the key thing Maybe part of that concept can be used somehow |

The rest of the patent is basically there just to support the claims. |

The mechanical motion or process is the key thing Maybe part of that concept can be used somehow I started a thread about forced resets as an NFA skirt in the Armory here back in the 2004-2006 area. Someone here posted that patent/gun as a response as to why forced resets are a machine gun. I want to say there’s another “machine gun” that used it too. |

By the time his patent was approved, his design no longer met the legal definition of a machinegun. |

I can't take credit at all for finding it. I just happened to see it and thought of this thread earlier yesterday. I assumed It was not coincidental. Looks like this might be a little bit of a game changer with RB /ABC IP. |

Figured that had made its rounds here at some point over the years man. These general concepts are not new as you showed folks years ago Well I do have a Glock frt thing I made one day when the mechanics of it popped into my head. Function checks fine. Never shot it cause I already made a bump Glock thing years ago. So I already shot my G21 like that thus proving to myself I could do Glock frt was good enough for me at that time. The bump Glock thing is fun. May start running those again if folks want them |

Back in '34 when the patent was applied for they had to hand draw everything. That's probably why there aren't as many drawings. |
