ADJUSTABLE RAIL MOUNTING SYSTEM
Devices mountable to a rail having a recoil groove are provided. In one aspect a device mountable to a rail having a recoil groove has a rail positioner having a longitudinal length with a plurality of teeth arranged along an edge of the longitudinal length and a recoil groove insert extending away from the rail positioner and configured to be inserted into the recoil groove, a first body member having a first rail engagement surface and plurality of openings generally sized to receive the plurality of teeth and arranged along a length of the first body a second body member having a second rail engagement surface opposite the first body member, and a clamping structure operable to tighten and maintain a clamping force between the first body member and the second body member when the rail positioner is arranged in therein and that can be released facilitate installation and removal of the mounting to a rail.
In-line flashlight system for firearms
A flashlight mounting system for mounting a flashlight on a firearm includes a light barrel, which is sized and shaped for containing a flashlight and which is mountable on the firearm, a light activator plug positioned inside the light barrel, a light control member positioned on the outside of the light barrel, and a connector, which extends through a slotted hole in the light barrel and connects the light control member to the light activator plug. Sliding the light control member on the outside of the light barrel moves the light activator plug on the inside of the light barrel to push and activate an on-off switch on the flashlight in the light barrel.
RIFLE STOCK MOUNTING RAIL SYSTEM
Rifle stock mounting rail systems have an elongated rail having opposed forward and rear ends, the elongated rail having an accessory mounting facility defining a plurality of mounting locations, the elongated rail defining a forward mounting aperture proximate to the forward end, the elongated rail defining a rear mounting aperture proximate to the rear end, the forward mounting aperture being configured to receive a first fastener in a stock aperture associated with a sling stud, the rear mounting aperture being configured to receive a second fastener in a stock aperture associated with a trigger guard, and the forward and rear mounting apertures being spaced apart by a distance based on a spacing between a sling stud and the second fastener. The accessory mounting facility may be an elongated channel. The accessory mounting facility may have a multitude or an unlimited number of mounting locations.
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.
Composite telescopic sight, sight mount, and electroluminescent digitally adjustable reticle
A composite scope body having a composite mounting system integrally attached to the scope body. The mounting system may have a self-centering clamping mechanism. Further, a sighting system which may be used in the scope body may include at least one transparent display array for display of a digital reticle. The display array configured to selectively emit light from the array surface. The display may further be integrated with an optical component of the sight or integrated with an optical protection component. The sighting system may further include an adjustment system for adjusting the digital reticle or other information to be displayed on the display.
SNAP-ON CLAMP SYSTEM
An optics mounting device that can be used on a wide variety of firearms including revolvers and shotguns. The invention provides a mount that can be snapped on and snapped off firearms and provides an easy way to provide laser pointing aiming devices on existing weapons without resort to altering the weapons by use of drilling holes or other gunsmithing.
MULTIDIRECTIONAL FIREARM LIGHT
An illumination device for a firearm may include a housing supporting multiple lamps. A switch actuator of the device is rotationally coupled to a rear end of the housing. A cam is coupled to the switch actuator, such that the cam rotates with the actuator, the cam having a first end including a magnet and a second end having a shaped cam surface configured to interface with a cam follower. The actuator and the cam are biased toward a neutral position. Selective rotation of the cam causes a magnet of the cam to operate one or more magnetic switches. The cam is transitionable between a plurality of discrete positions, e.g., including a pair of toggle positions in the first rotational direction from the neutral position, and a pair of momentary positions disposed on the cam in the second rotational direction from the neutral position.
SCOPE ADAPTED FOR SHORT AND LONG RANGE ZEROING
A superposing device including a superposer; a base including a first material; and an adaptor including a second material connecting the superposer to the base, wherein the first material and the second material are magnetically-complementing materials that are attracted to one another such that the superposer can be secured to the base while the orientation of the superposer can be adjusted relative to the base.
Firearm laser sight alignment assembly
The present disclosure relates to a firearm which may include a frame with a first outer wall, and a second outer wall opposite the first outer wall. A laser module may be disposed between the first and second outer walls. An alignment pin may be in communication with the first outer wall and may be configured to move the laser module relative to the frame.
Quick-detachable multi-purpose accessory mounting platform
Accessories may be mounted using a quick-detachable multi-purpose accessory mounting platform. The platform may include one or more clamps to receive an object, such as a firearm. The platform also may include at least one recessed mounting pad, at least one rear shelf, and other surfaces to provide different mounting points for accessories.
