  • Publication number: 20240110766
    Abstract: The disclosure is related to an enclosed reflex sight for one or more firearms. The enclosed reflex sight may be provided as part of an assembly including a mounting interface. The enclosed reflex sight includes a rearward bottom portion that houses an adjustment assembly, wherein the rearward bottom portion includes a lowermost surface of the enclosed reflex sight. The enclosed reflex sight includes an upper bottom surface forward of the rearward bottom portion of the enclosed reflex sight, the upper bottom surface comprising an abutment surface for the mounting interface. When the assembly is secured to an upper mounting surface of a firearm then the lowermost surface of the rearward bottom portion of the enclosed reflex sight is closer to the upper mounting surface of the firearm than the upper bottom surface of the enclosed reflex sight.

  • Patent number: 10443979
    Abstract: A turret assembly configured to be coupleable to the combination of a rifle scope and a rifle, to adjust the rifle scope relative to the rifle is provided. The turret assembly includes a turret body, a jacking screw, and a turret cap. The turret assembly may also include a locking mechanism including a locking pin configured to prevent rotational movement of the turret cap relative to the turret body. The turret assembly may include a stopping mechanism configured to limit rotational movement of the turret cap relative to the turret body. The stopping mechanism may include a zero stop ring which defines a zero stop point which prevents further rotational movement of the turret cap. The turret assembly may also include an indicator configured to depict information about the position of the turret cap relative to the turret body, where the indicator is configured for only translational movement.

  • Patent number: 10088269
    Abstract: A firearm is described that includes an integrated power source, socket, and conductor connecting the power source to the socket. By integrating these elements into a firearm, a powered accessory can be attached to the firearm without the need for a mounting rail attached to a firearm. Furthermore, powered accessories need not have their own integrated power sources, but rather can connect to the power source within the firearm. This reduces the weight and physical dimensions of both firearms and accessories.

  • Patent number: 10030940
    Abstract: A compound mounting clamp is described that is configured for mounting an accessory (e.g., a laser sight, a telescopic sight, a bayonet, a light) to a firearm that includes either one of a Picatinny-type mounting rail or an arcuate mounting rail. The compound mounting clamp includes a clamp base with mounting surfaces that enable mounting to either one of a Picatinny-type mounting rail or the arcuate mounting rail. The mounting surfaces of the clamp base include: (1) two planar faces that are perpendicular to a first direction; and (2) two angled faces that are: (a) at an oblique angle with respect to the first direction; and (b) disposed between the two planar faces.

  • Patent number: 10024629
    Abstract: A firearm accessory adjustment system is described. The system provides for independent elevation and windage adjustment for a laser associated with a firearm. Each of the elevation and windage adjustments can be made independently using single adjustments on the side of the firearm. The system can be integral to a sidearm.
