Abstract
Methods, devices, apparatus and systems for a downward ejecting rifle configured with a trigger and grip mounted forward of a magazine. The rifle includes a receiver with a bolt assembly slidably located therein, a rifle barrel connected with the receiver with a cartridge chamber, the barrel arranged to mate with a bolt mechanism located rearward of the trigger and grip, and a downward ejection port rearward of the magazine to allow a spent casing to eject downward from the rifle. The downward ejection port includes an oversized hollow hammer pivotally connected with a trigger assembly such that after firing the bolt mechanism travels rearward extracting the spent casing over and behind the magazine where it is ejected through the oversize hollow hammer. Downward ejection mechanisms can include a hollow ejection chute reward of the magazine below the hollow hammer with ejected casings passing downward through the ejection chute.
