A proven military combat-type weapon with the stock removed therefrom converted to an improved tactical weapon by addition of retrofit assemblies which include a collapsible and bilaterally pivoting stock, a front stabilization system, and a sighting system. This improved tactical weapon has the characteristics of reduced exposure to enemy fire by allowing the operator to fire while under cover, and increased weapon stability by the utilization of the front stabilizer assembly. Utilizing this invention, the operator is able to shoulder support and fire the weapon with minimal exposure to enemy fire. Furthermore, by exerting force to (leaning against) the weapon stock, the weapon is pinned between the operator and the object (i.e., wall, tree, etc.). The amount of gun movement is reduced and the stability of the weapon is increased over a weapon which is only hand held when the gun is fired.
A firearm includes a barrel that has a central axis, a receiver fixedly supporting the barrel, a gunstock that is connected to the receiver and that comprises a longitudinal axis, and a shoulder stock extending in a plane that is generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the gunstock. The gunstock and the receiver may each be configured to provide for angular movement of the gunstock relative to the receiver and, in turn, the barrel whereby the central axis of the barrel varies in a generally radial direction extending from the longitudinal axis of the gunstock. In this way, the firearm may be discharged by a warfighter, standing adjacent to a corner, around the corner.

A buttstock for a firearm having a buffer recoil mechanism is collapsible and adjustable. The buttstock includes a lower receiver extension having a bore therein that fits over the buffer recoil mechanism, the lower receiver extension being fixed to the buffer recoil mechanism; a buttstock body having a bore therein for receiving the lower receiver extension; a locking lever disposed along the bottom edge of the buttstock body; a locking pin disposed in the buttstock body and in the locking lever; and a compression spring disposed around the locking pin for biasing the locking pin towards the lower receiver extension.
Firearms, grips for firearms and methods of using the same are disclosed. An example grip includes an exterior grip defining an inner bore; a slider located within the bore for axial movement relative to the exterior grip, the slider having a projection to selectively detachably engage the at least one transverse slot of the rail; and a screw rotatably mounted within the exterior grip. The screw threadingly engages the slider to axially move the slider into and/or out of engagement with the rail, but the screw is substantially secured against axial movement relative to the exterior grip.
