Firearm ejector

Abstract

A bolt lever for a firearm includes a main body, a hole extending at least partially through the main body, and an ejector arm that extends in a forward direction from the main body. The ejector arm may be designed to interface with a corresponding groove in a bolt carrier group.

That which is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bolt lever for a firearm, the bolt lever comprising:
 a main body;   a hole extending at least partially through the main body; and   an ejector arm that extends in a forward direction from the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , further comprising a forward protrusion designed to interface with a magazine follower. 
     
     
         3 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , wherein the ejector arm is designed to interface with a corresponding groove in a bolt carrier group. 
     
     
         4 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , wherein the ejector arm comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion that are connected by a joint. 
     
     
         5 . The bolt lever of  claim 4 , wherein the proximal portion and the distal portion are each disposed at an angle above horizontal. 
     
     
         6 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , wherein the ejector arm is designed to contact at least one selected from the group of a cartridge or cartridge case during operation of the firearm. 
     
     
         7 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , wherein contact between the ejector arm and at least one selected from the group of a cartridge or cartridge case occurs when a bolt carrier group is moving rearward. 
     
     
         8 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , further comprising an upper protrusion designed to allow the bolt lever to be operated from an exterior of the firearm. 
     
     
         9 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , wherein the bolt lever is designed to pivot about the hole. 
     
     
         10 . The bolt lever of  claim 1 , wherein the bolt lever is attached to a lower receiver of the firearm. 
     
     
         11 . A firearm comprising:
 a bolt carrier group;   a receiver; and   a bolt lever attached to the receiver,   wherein the bolt lever comprises an ejector arm.   
     
     
         12 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the bolt lever comprises a main body and a hole extending at least partially through the main body. 
     
     
         13 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the ejector arm extends in a forward direction from the bolt lever. 
     
     
         14 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the bolt lever further comprising a forward protrusion designed to interface with a magazine follower. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the ejector arm is designed to interface with a corresponding groove in a bolt carrier group. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the ejector arm comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion that are connected by a joint. 
     
     
         17 . The firearm of  claim 16 , wherein the proximal portion and the distal portion are each disposed at an angle above horizontal. 
     
     
         18 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the ejector arm is designed to contact at least one selected from the group of a cartridge or cartridge case during operation of the firearm. 
     
     
         19 . The firearm of  claim 11 , further comprising an upper protrusion designed to allow the bolt lever to be operated from an exterior of the firearm. 
     
     
         20 . The firearm of  claim 11 , wherein the bolt lever is designed to pivot about a hole.
