Abstract
A bi-directional trigger assembly comprises a trigger having a first protrusion. A trigger bar having a slot is coupled to the trigger. A selector switch is positioned adjacent the rear end of the trigger bar. A disconnector is accommodated within the slot. A hammer is provided adjacent the front end of the trigger bar, wherein the hammer is configured for operable coupling to the trigger bar and the disconnector. A linkage is configured for fitment adjacent the trigger bar within the fire arm, wherein the linkage includes a second protrusion positioned adjacent a top edge of the trigger bar. The linkage further includes a third protrusion wherein the third protrusion abuts the first protrusion for displacing the linkage downward when a forward force is applied on the trigger, thereby causing the second protrusion to exert a downward acting force adjacent the front end of the trigger bar.
