Firearm barrel tray, stock, and related methods
A firearm barrel tray having a barrel channel and a firearm accessory mounting interface, wherein the firearm barrel tray is configured to be attached to a firearm stock such that the barrel channel sits on a first side of the firearm stock and the firearm accessory mounting interface is configured to align with a recess on a second side of the firearm stock.
Compact sight accessory mechanism
A sight magnifier assembly is configured to be releasably secured to a rail feature of a firearm to be used with a sight assembly to enhance a downrange image. The sight magnifier assembly includes a base configured to be releasably secured to the rail feature of the firearm and a housing rotatably coupled to the base. The housing is configured to support sight optics used to enhance or improve the downrange image. The assembly further includes a mechanism configured to enable the rotation the housing with respect to the base between a use position in which the sight optics is configured to be used with the sight assembly and a stored position in which the sight optics is moved so that the housing and the sight magnifier assembly is nearly completely obscured from the operator by the sight assembly as viewed along a longitudinal axis.
FIREARM ACCESSORY ATTACHMENT SYSTEM
A firearm accessory attachment system and method are disclosed. The system has a first body having a longitudinal length, a first protrusion coupled to and extending from the first body in a first direction, and a second protrusion coupled to and extending from the first body in the first direction as the first protrusion, the second protrusion is a first longitudinal distance from the first protrusion. The system also has a second body having a third protrusion coupled thereto, the third protrusion extending in the first direction. The second body is slidable relative to the first body. The system is movable between a locked configuration having a first width and an unlocked configuration having a second width, the second width less than the first width, the first and second widths defined by a direction transverse relative to the longitudinal length.
INTEGRATED OPTICAL SIGHT MOUNT
Implementations of an integrated optical sight mount are provided. In some implementations, the optical sight mount may be integrated into the frame of a handgun via a locking block and used to position an optical sight over the slide thereof. In some implementations, the integrated optical sight mount may comprise a mounting platform that is supported by a first side wall and a second side wall, each of which extend from a locking block seated in the frame of the handgun. In some implementations, the mounting platform is configured for an optical gun sight to be secured thereon. In some implementations, the mounting platform and the side walls define an opening therebetween configured (e.g., dimensioned) so that the slide assembly of the handgun is able to pass therethrough without interference.
Camera mount system
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described which provide a camera mount system. The camera mount system can include, for example, a first optical element and a second optical element. Incoming light from a scope on a weapon, for example, is partially transmitted and partially reflected by the first optical element. The partially transmitted light passes through an eyepiece to a viewer (e.g., a shooter). The partially reflected light is reflected by the second optical element and is recorded by a recording device (e.g., a camera, a video recorder, an image sensor, etc.). The viewer has direct access to the scope optics, a spotting scope, or binoculars, for example, and the camera and the viewer have access to the same view.
Sighting systems, components, and methods
Sight systems comprise a sight receiver and a base attachable to and detachable from a sight receiver. A base carries a sighting component, such as an iron sight or optic sight. A sighting component may be attachably and detachably mounted to a base, or a sighting component may be made integrally with a base. A base may carry plural sighting components. Sight systems may include plural interchangeable sight receivers, bases, and/or sighting components. In some embodiments, interfitting structures at least partially restrain or retain a base and a sight receiver in longitudinal and lateral alignment, with such structures being longitudinally oriented. In some embodiments, interfitting structures at least partially restrain or retain a base and a sighting component in longitudinal alignment and lateral alignment, with such structures being longitudinally oriented. Some embodiments provide a fastener operable with a compatible and/or complementary surface, together used to urge interfitting parts together tightly.
MODULAR ILLUMINATION AND AIMING APPARATUS
A modular illumination and aiming apparatus, a preferred embodiment of which includes an optical head module, mounting module, and an end cap module. The modular illumination and aiming apparatus is configured to be quickly and intuitively adjusted by a user in response to changing target and environmental conditions. The modular illumination and aiming apparatus is configured to be ergonomically supportive such that a user may maintain a consistent firing grip while activating the illumination and aiming functions. The optical head module is configured to allow the user to change radiation types by adjusting an end cap. The alignment mechanism in the optical head module for the radiation source and optics is configured to provide a robust and zero-play optical mount in order to resist recoil and general physical shock.
ARCHERY MOUNTING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
An archery mounting assembly and method are disclosed herein. The archery mounting assembly, in an embodiment, includes a mount device having a mount portion configured to be engaged with a body of an archery weapon. The mount device also has a first interface that extends at least partially along an adjustment axis. The archery mounting assembly further includes an accessory support, which includes a support portion configured to support an archery accessory and a second interface configured to be movably coupled to the first interface of the mount device.
SCOPE MOUNTING ALIGNMENT ASSEMBLY AND RELATED METHOD OF USE
A scope alignment assembly is provided that can automatically level a scope. The assembly can include a base defining a hole and including a first scope ring, a spring in the hole, and a detent in the hole, the detent urged toward the scope. The scope mount can include a registration element disposed on a lower portion of the scope, distal from a turret assembly. The detent and/or registration element can be operable in a transition mode in which the detent moves along a scope surface while the scope is rotated about an axis of rotation, and a levelling mode in which the detent is configured to register with the registration element to provide at least one of a visual feedback, an audible feedback and a tactile feedback to indicate the scope is level relative to the base. A related method of use also is provided.
ADAPTER ASSEMBLY OR OTHER MOUNTING FEATURES FOR FIREARM OPTIC
An adapter assembly for mounting an optic on a firearm using nuts mountable on bolts, threaded studs, or threaded posts is provided. The adapter assembly may include a bracket having a bottom section to mount to a firearm assembly, and a top side to receive the optic; wherein the threaded posts are integrally formed on the top side of the bracket, or wherein the bracket includes: pockets arranged to mate with at least part of heads of the bolts or studs, the pockets on a bottom side of the bracket; and through openings to receive shanks of the bolts or a different part of the heads of the bolts, or shanks of the studs. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.
