Abstract: A claw mounting system for a firearm stand engages with a sling stud of a firearm so that the firearm can be securely attached with the firearm stand. The claw mounting system includes an elastically loaded claw assembly, a securing member, and a bracket member as the securing member is threadly engaged with a sleeve portion of the bracket member while a left claw member and a right claw member of the elastically loaded claw assembly are tensionaly connected to each other through a spring-tension unit. The left claw member and the right claw member are also hingedly connected to a first tab of the bracket member through a retainer channel and a retainer pin. The claw mounting system greatly reduces the mounting process time of a firearm by remaining in a stable vertical position during attachment and detachment of a firearm stand.
