Abstract:

A mounting apparatus for mounting an optical sight on a rifle has an elongated rail and a mounting base projecting downwardly from the rail for securing the rail on a rifle. The rail has an upwardly facing channel extending along its length for receiving a mounting element of a first type of optical sight, the base of the channel having a plurality of openings for receiving fastener devices for selectively securing an optical sight at a selected location along the length of the rail. The opposite sides of the rail each have a plurality of spaced tabs forming a Picatinney rail for mounting a second type of optical sight having a mounting element for engaging over the Picatinney rail. The mounting rail therefore combines the mounting formations for two different types of optical sight in a single rail.

Marco Gonzalez - Temecula CA, US

International Classification:

F41C 27/00

US Classification:

2483162

Abstract:

A mounting component for engagement of a scope or other component to a firearm mounting rail. A base of the mounting component features first and second translating halves which can be drawn toward each other by rotation of a lever operating a cam to translate a cross member communicating between the two halves of the base. An adjustment is provided to change the length of the cross member extension between the base halves to allow adjustment of the compressive force caused by lever rotation.
