An assembly includes a forward unit including a mounting portion for mounting thereon a firearm, the forward unit defining a projectile shooting axis, and a rearward unit coupled to the forward unit. The rearward unit includes a retractable buttstock that has a retracted position and an extended position. In the extended position the rearward unit is pivotable with respect to the forward unit about a pivot axis which is tilted relative to the projectile shooting axis.

A method for forming a weapon accessory mounting device to attach to a projectile firing weapon is disclosed. A flexure for receiving a body of the weapon accessory is formed. A pivot portion is formed at a first end of the flexure to attach the flexure to the weapon at a first attachment region. A second attachment portion is formed at a second end of the flexure to attach the flexure to the weapon at a second attachment region. A first aperture is formed in the pivot portion configured to receive a pivot pin. A second aperture in the weapon accessory body receives the pivot pin at a weapon accessory body first end to attach the weapon accessory body first end to the pivot portion. The pivot portion is configured to convert at least a portion of energy of a weapon shock recoil from translational energy to rotational energy.

A firearm accessory has a foldable mirror housing that is attached through a hinge with a rotatable mirror platform. This rotatable mirror platform sits atop a bearing platform that in turn is integral with a rail mount. The rotatable mirror platform has a locking device that engages the fascia of the bearing platform popping mirror into positions or angles of most common use. A knob has a housing therefore having an associated friction disk and axle. A locking device on the mirror housing engages the exterior surface of the back of the knob housing for positions of most common vertical angles of use. Finally, a spring actuated sliding mirror is an optional feature as it is mounted on a mounting plate therefore allowing for height adjustment of mirror as well as the interchanging of mirror types.
