The weapon magazine cushion is a protective accessory for releasably fastening to a weapon magazine having a magazine base that is directed outward at the lower grip end of the weapon in the installed position and has a substantially planar magazine-base underside to which the weapon magazine cushion is fastened in a self-adhesive manner. It has a blocklike body with a flat abutment side directed toward the magazine-base underside with a rounded end face. The body is formed from an adhesive polyurethane gel material that is elastically deformable under pressure and is enclosed by a non-adhesive and protective skin, apart from on the abutment side.

A portable camera may be activated in response to the activity of a firearm. Furthermore, a communications channel may be established between a firearm telematics sensor and a video camera, optionally by means of intermediary devices. When the telematics sensor detects that its associated firearm has been removed from a holster of the firearm, is in motion, or is being discharged, the telematics sensor may signal the video camera to initiate recording.

A firearm support device can include an elongate member, a lock knob, and vise pins. The elongate member can include a clamping portion, a supporting portion, and a stop portion located therebetween. The clamping portion can be clamped between jaws of a bench vise, can include two parallel clamping faces, and can define vise pin holes. The vise pins can be received by the vise pin holes. The supporting portion can support an upper receiver of a firearm and can include a cylindrical shaft aligned with the long axis of the elongate member. The supporting portion can include splines structured to mate with lugs of a barrel extension of a firearm barrel. The supporting portion can define a plurality of lock knob holes aligned radially and located around the cylindrical shaft. The lock knob can be received by one of these holes and constrain the upper receiver.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for the maintenance, repair, modification, cleaning, disassembly, and reassembly of firearms and firearm components are disclosed. Particular embodiments include tools to aid in the removal and insertion of an extractor pin from the bolt assembly of an AR-15 or M-16 rifle. Preferred embodiments are directed to bolt assemblies for .223 and .308 imperial caliber firearms, as well as 5.56 and 7.62 metric caliber firearms. The tools include a housing with a channel to receive the bolt, a channel to insert a locking rod to orient and secure the bolt in the housing, a channel for inserting a removal rod to remove the extractor pin from the bolt or an inserting rod to insert the extractor pin into the bolt.
