Shooting rests
A shooting rest includes first and second poles each having a length, and a gun rest assembly for holding the first and second poles in selected angular relationships and at selected locations along the lengths thereof. The gun rest assembly includes a swivel connecting a first rest component mounted to the first pole for reciprocal movement along the length thereof, and a second rest component mounted to the second pole for reciprocal movement along the length thereof. A first clamp assembly is carried by the first rest component and a second clamp assembly is carried by the second rest component. The first and second clamp assemblies are configured for independently locking and releasing the respective first and second rest components relative to the respective first and second poles.
SHOOTING REST AND USE OF A SHOOTING REST FOR SUPPORTING A FIREARM AT A FORE-END TO A SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL EXTERNAL SUPPORT BODY
A shooting rest comprising a body defining a centre line parallel to a first main direction of the body. The first main direction is adapted to be aligned with a direction of a barrel of a firearm when the shooting rest is fastened to a fore-end of the firearm. Furthermore, the body defines a second main direction transverse to the first main direction, wherein the main directions define a lateral plane. The shooting rest further comprises at least one supporting element which is fastened to the body movably at a fastening point. The supporting element comprises an arm and a pointed tip. Each supporting element can be arranged in at least a first position and a second position so that in the first position, the pointed tip is, in the second main direction, spaced by a predetermined distance.

Bipod
Adjustable leg fastening arrangement (200) for a bipod (1) for a rifle (2), the adjustable leg fastening arrangement comprising a first pivoting part (210), arranged to be fastened to a leg part (100); a second pivoting part (220), arranged to be fastened to a bipod main part (300) or to the rifle, the second pivoting part being pivotable in relation to the first pivoting part. The invention is characterised in that the adjustable leg fastening arrangement further comprises a conical recess (211) and a conical part (221), an outer surface of the conical part being arranged to engage in a friction engagement with an inner surface of said conical recess, the conical recess and the conical part each being arranged to be rotationally-fixedly attached to a respective different one of said first pivoting part and said second pivoting part; and a screw engagement means (201) arranged to press the conical part axially into and against the conical recess, thereby increasing a friction of said friction engagement. The invention also relates to a method.
Rifle bipod assembly
A bipod assembly includes a first yoke configured to be attached to a firearm. A second yoke is pivotably attached to the first yoke. Right and left legs are pivotably connected to the second yoke and movable between an open position and a closed position. The bipod assembly is movable between a stowed and locked position, a stowed and unlocked position, a deployed and unlocked position, and a deployed and locked position. In a locked position, part of each leg engages the first yoke to maintain the leg's open or closed position as well as the leg's deployed or stowed position. The bipod assembly enables one-hand deployment from a stowed state.

FIREARM ACCESSORY MOUNTING INTERFACE
An accessory mounting interface for a firearm, and a related method, are disclosed. The interface has a firearm accessory, a first elongated fastener, and a second fastener rotationally mated to the first elongated fastener. The first elongated fastener has right-handed threading and is arranged through a through hole in the firearm accessory with a first end extending below first and second halves of a first slot protrusion of the firearm accessory. The second fastener has a length greater than a width, the length measured along a longitudinal axis of the second fastener, the second fastener having a plurality of straight edges. At least one of the plurality of straight edges prevents the second fastener from rotating further than a closed position when the at least one of the straight edges abuts a sidewall of an elongated slot in the firearm.
