A rifle comprises a receiver, a firing mechanism mounted in the receiver, a barrel which is detachably connected to the receiver, and a stock, which is detachably secured to the receiver by built-in catches or the like and covers the receiver and the barrel at least in part and is provided with a trigger mechanism and a magazine holder. In order to provide an effective guard for the rifle, to reduce the overall length of the rifle and to provide a simpler stock, the stock consists of two parts, namely, a butt part, which is provided with the magazine holder, and a front part, which is provided with the trigger mechanism, the interface between said two parts of the stock comprises an intermediate portion, which extends on both sides of the stock approximately in the longitudinal direction of the butt part, the front part is slidably fitted on the front portion of the receiver and is forwardly removable therefrom, the butt part is slidably fitted on the rear portion of the receiver and is rearwardly removable therefrom, and one of said parts of the stock is provided on opposite sides of said stock at said interface with edge flanges which overlap the other of said parts.
A hand-held firearm, comprising a casing which accommodates breech parts, a stock which is attached to the casing, and a barrel which is detachably connected to the casing, and having a mounting for a telescopic sight. In order to avoid the disadvantages of the conventional telescopic sight fitting and to allow the entire weapon to have a neat and practical shape, the casing forms a casing extension at the front beyond the connection to the barrel and a longitudinal rail is integrally formed at the top on the casing and on the casing extension as a mounting for the telescopic sight. The casing parts are made of light metal alloy.
Our integral user configurable sniper rifle stock comprises a wide forearm and a relatively narrow carry portion extending rearwardly from the forearm. An action mounting portion extends rearwardly from the carry portion. An angled relatively vertical, stippled grip extends rearwardly and downwardly from the receiver portion. An open rear stock portion extends rearwardly from the grip. The carry portion is narrower and thinner than the forearm. The action mounting, grip and rear portions are generally as wide as the carry portion. The forearm comprises a forend having an angled base and a flat serrated base portion extending rearwardly from the forend. A "T" channel rail is disposed within the angled base to mount a bipod. The folded legs of a bipod lie along the barrel. The grip defines a weight receptive cavity. A trigger guard extends from the receiver portion to the grip. The rear stock portion comprises upper and lower braces with a butt extending vertically between rear extents of the braces. The upper brace receives a mounting screw for a displaceable, interchangeable cheekpiece disposed about the upper brace. The lower brace has a flat serrated base. A vertically displaceable butt plate/pad and spacers are mounted to the butt. The spacers are used to adjust the length of pull of the rifle. Through-stock swivel studs are disposed through the butt and forearm. Recesses are defined in the sides of the stock about the studs.
A magazine-protecting, ambidextrous device for carrying a loaded spare magazine attached to a firearm buttstock in position for rapid removal and insertion into the firing position of the firearm. The loaded spare magazine is restrained within a well formed in the buttstock by a retractable latch pivotably mounted such that when the spare magazine is removed, the latch retracts below the exterior surface of the firearm buttstock, protecting the latch from damage and reducing the profile of the weapon. The spare magazine is carried in such a way as to protect the open end of the magazine and the ammunition carried therein from dirt and/or damage.
