The present folding stock adapter can be used with many types of military-type assault rifles that typically comprise a receiver extension, buffer and action spring. The present folding stock adapter can be used to add a folding capability to a standard stock allowing it to fold against a rifle's receiver when the weapon is not in use, thus reducing the overall length of the weapon. This reduction in length can facilitate its maneuverability, storage and transport in cramped quarters. The present device can also allow for the quick unfolding of the stock in order to allow the weapon to function and be fire normally.

A receiver having a stock connector component having a stock connector aperture formed therethrough; two rod apertures formed through the stock connector component, wherein each extension rod aperture is formed so as to slidably receive an extension rod extending from a stock, such that each extension rod is slidably movable within one of the rod apertures; wherein each extension rod comprises a rod channel and two or more rod dimples/detents formed along the rod channel; and a latch that is movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position, wherein when the latch is in the engaged position, a protrusion portion urges latch elements into the rod apertures a distance that seats the latch elements into the rod dimples/detents, and wherein when the latch is in the disengaged position, the protrusion portion allows the latch elements to retract from the rod dimples/detents and into the rod channels.

A detachable folding stock includes folding body sections and a folding butt that can be folded and assumes its operational orientation in either the extended or the folded positions of the stock. The detachable folding stock is removably mountable to a pistol, which is mounted thereon by means of a locking pistol frame stock rim to a pistol grip lock well, for instance using a catching locker. The detachable folding stock includes the lock well, which is attached to the body and into which the pistol grip fits. The detachable folding stock can assume its operational position in a magazine change operation without interrupting the pistol grip lock well during a magazine change operation.

The deployment device may include a support piece, the deployable element, in particular a handle, may be rotatably mounted on said support piece and being connected by means of an elastic element to the support piece. The deployable element may include at least one pin capable of being moved along a curved guide of the support piece and adopting one or both of the two stable positions, respectively, in two housings provided in the support piece. The stable positions may respectively correspond to a stowed position and a deployed position of the deployable element. The guide and the elastic element may be configured to generate an automatic deployment of the deployable element to the deployed position as soon as the deployable element is subjected by an operator to a rotation having an angle greater than or equal to an unlocking angle.

Implementations of a stabilizing brace assembly for a firearm are provided. The stabilizing brace assembly is configured for use in attaching a forearm stabilizing brace to a pistol, thereby providing additional stability to a user aiming and firing the pistol. In some implementations, the stabilizing brace assembly is also configured to position an optical sight (e.g., a reflex type sight) so that it can be used to aim the pistol. In some implementations, the stabilizing brace assembly comprises a chassis configured to be secured to a firearm frame and used to position an optical sight over the slide of the firearm, a stabilizing brace secured to the chassis, a removable backs trap assembly configured to further secure the chassis to the firearm frame, and a charging handle that can be used to manually operate the slide of the firearm, or another suitable combination thereof.

A lower receiver assembly of a rifle including a lower receiver having a magazine well formed thereon between a distal end and a proximal end, the lower receiver operable to receive a trigger assembly including a trigger, a hammer, and a firing pin. The lower receiver can include an operating rod retention tab coupled with an upper surface of the receiver and the operating rod retention tab extends above the upper surface and is operable to be received in a groove formed in a receiver of an upper receiver.
