  • Publication number: 20120140348
    Abstract: An improved mount for interfacing an Aimpoint optical gun site and Aimpoint optical magnifier. An apparatus and method for quickly, and securely attaching an Aimpoint magnifier to an Aimpoint optical gun site using the circumferential cut present on the rear of the external housing. This invention relies on a spring tensioned lever and the cylindrical housing provided by my design to securely retain an Aimpoint magnifier to the housing of an Aimpoint. My invention also provides for adjusting the host firearms point of impact by changing the orientation of the noise suppressor in relation to the host firearms bore.

  • Publication number: 20090288328
    Abstract: A sight mount for a firearm includes a base, and a rearwardly extending mounting portion for supporting a removable secondary optic mount. The base includes dovetail rails for securing the base to a firearm, and a mount position for accepting an electronic optic. The rearwardly extending mounting portion has transverse slots which follow the 1913 Picatinny specifications. The base serves as a mount point for up to two optics, the primary and secondary optics. The primary optic being a non magnified electronic optic and the secondary optic such either a night vision device or magnifier. The extended mounting position utilizes a small, light weight ring or other apparatus as is appropriate to hold onto the secondary optic. By using one base for both optics weight is reduced and the secondary optic when remove provides a stream lined package.

  • Publication number: 20090205241
    Abstract: An unobtrusive rear gun sight includes a fixed base for rigid attachment to a gun, and a fixed elongated stem which has a sight aperture integrated at the end farthest away from the base. The elongate stem slides in a groove or path located within the fixed base. A cam device, having a manually rotatable member, is mounted on the fixed base for retaining and driving the elongated stem along a fixed longitudinal path so as to allow a shooter to sight his weapon. The base and stem are robustly built so as to survive a drop onto a hard surface.
