1. A firearm comprising:
- a barrel defining the longitudinal axis of the barrel and having a forward end and a rearward end, where a cartridge is loaded at the rearward end;
a bolt head configured to alternate between a forward position and a rearward position in response to the firing of one or more cartridges; and
a slider connected to the bolt head, the slider comprising a sloped surface to contact a linkage to the bolt head;
wherein the slider is positioned forward of or at the same position as the bolt head relative to the barrel when the bolt head rests at its forward position, and wherein the rearward movement of the bolt head forces the slider to move downward and below the longitudinal axis of the barrel upon firing.

Abstract
The invention comprises an improved recoil control device comprising a bolt head and an inertia block or slider for use in a variety of firearms. In one embodiment, the bolt head and inertia block are articulated so that the displacement of the bolt head results in a force component outside the firing axis of the barrel of the firearm. The device can be incorporated into firearms of a variety of sizes and configurations to produce recoil reduction and/or weight reduction advantages.
