A balancing device for firearms having at least one barrel and one stock, a front support and a rear support respectively mounted in a region adjacent to the muzzle and in the region of the stock of the firearm; the front support and the rear support are configured to support one or more weight members which are modular and mutually analogous.

A chassis for a firearm includes a lower receiver and a lower forend that are monolithically formed with one another. The lower receiver defines a trigger well that is configured to receive an action. The lower forend extends distally from the lower receiver and defines a channel that is configured to receive a barrel.

The present disclosure generally is related to a modular chassis/stock system for a rifle type firearm that incorporates a recoil reduction assembly. The chassis/stock system includes a buttstock assembly that is configured to include an elongated housing for receiving a mounting body of the recoil reduction assembly.

The invention relates to a rifle comprising a barrel, a stock, a bipod and bipod housing formed within the stock of the rifle and in which one or more legs of the bipod may be housed when the bipod is in a storage position. The forestock may comprise a body and a tip. The tip may be configured to support one or more legs of the bipod and may also be configured to hinge away from the body to cause the legs to project toward a supporting surface when the bipod is in an operational position.

Implementations of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for constructing, installing, and using a compression follower in a tubular firearm magazine. In particular, the compression follower resides inside a shotgun magazine and replaces the standard follower. The compression follower has a compressible tail, thereby providing the capacity of a standard follower and increased reliability by aligning the follower and a magazine spring.

Disclosed herein are modifications to a firearm of the assault (tactical) weapon style which allow those familiar with these sorts of rifles, especially the AR-15, and AR-15 variant rifles, to rapidly gain comfort and precision with a shotgun of the semi-automatic or potentially automatic feed mechanism in that the disclosed shotgun is externally the same and substantially identical externally to the assault weapon to which they are already familiar. In particular, the disclosed shotgun has a receiver, pistol style grip, hand guard, magazine receiver, and stock adapter which is substantially identical to an AR-15 or AAR-15 variant rifle to which they are already accustomed.

A lightweight rifle has a chassis with a forward receptacle and rear receptacle, a forend tube with a male key, a barrel, a breech, a spacer, a trigger guard, a grip, and a butt stock adapter. The barrel and breech connect along a shared longitudinal axis, and the resulting subassembly inserts into the forend tube. The spacer secures the connection between the breech and the forend tube with a combination of scope screws and rivets that extend through the forend tube, spacer, and breach, respectively. This forend tube subassembly connects to the chassis by inserting the forend tube male key into the chassis forward receptacle and further securing the male key and forward receptacle together with bolts. The butt stock adapter has a protruding male key and mates to the chassis rear receptacle. This allows for the quick and secure connection of a butt stock to the rifle chassis.
