Abstract: An accessory mounting attachment for repeatable precise alignment on a rifle has a mounting section with a top rail. The mounting section has a forward portion with a rear sight leg configured for a pivotable mounting to a rear sight base on the rifle, and a rearward portion with a lock down assembly configured to fix the mounting section to a connecting lug at a rear of a receiver of the rifle. The lock down assembly includes an eccentric element, a lug latching frame, and a coupling element connecting the two. Rotation of the eccentric element by a lever section causes the lug latching frame to move vertically and engage/latch with the connecting lug, so that the accessory mounting attachment is consistently and securely fixed in a same position relative to a barrel of the rifle, which keeps a sighting device attached to the top rail zeroed to the rifle.

The firearm accessory includes a base configured to mount to at least first and second different mounting adaptors to permit selective mounting of the firearm accessory to a firearm via the first mounting adaptor or the second mounting adaptor.

Abstract: Devices, assemblies, systems, and methods for providing a quick and easy accessory mounting device for mounting to a multiple slot interface, such as a multiple slot rail on a firearm. The mounting device/assembly allows for firearm accessories such as foregrips, bipods, scopes lights, bayonets, and the like, can be easily interchangeably attached to the multiple slot interface on the firearm. A wedge member having two wedge legs can be activated to move below the device/assembly and attach to a pair of slots in the multiple slot rail on the firearm. A torque screw can be also used to lock the wedge legs in place.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and apparatuses for casing ejection mechanisms. The firearm includes a lever, an adapter with a first hole and second hole, and a magazine inserted inside the first hole. The lever is configured to cause a casing to be ejected in a direction parallel to a plane along which the lever moves while ejecting the casing or at least partially toward a side of the firearm.

Abstract: A gas generator includes an igniter, a gas generating agent that generates a combustion gas by being combusted, a housing that accommodates the igniter and the gas generating agent inside the housing, the housing including an inner surface, a gas discharge port penetrating through the housing from an inside to an outside of the housing, the gas discharge port including a chamfered region in which a corner portion of an opening of the gas discharge port on the inner surface is removed over an entire circumference of the opening, and a seal attached to the inner surface of the housing, closes, before the actuation of the igniter, the gas discharge port by covering the opening of the gas discharge port on the inner surface of the housing, and opens the gas discharge port by being ruptured due to reception of a pressure of the combustion gas.

Abstract: A trigger mechanism that, in various examples, may be configured to pivot or rotate in multiple directions, enabling actuation along multiple axes or planes of motion consistent with natural finger movement. For instance, a trigger may be supported or otherwise connected to a host device—such as a firearm, tool, or other manually actuated mechanism—in a manner that permits movement in multiple directions or rotation about multiple axes, allowing the trigger pull to follow the natural motion path of a user's finger. In some examples, the trigger mechanism may actuate when the trigger reaches one or more defined actuation points or when a threshold level of force is applied—regardless of the trigger's motion path. In this way, the trigger mechanisms of the present disclosure may accommodate the unique trigger pull motions of different users, regardless of hand position, technique, or training level.

The edging of the shield body comprises connectors operably connected with each other. The first and second accessories are operably connectable or connected with each other via the connectors for power and/or a signal transfer from the first accessory to the second accessory and/or back via the connectors.

Abstract: A muzzle brake having a tuner and allowing for micro-adjustments to the weight of the barrel of a firearm. Upon being fired, the weighted the barrel mitigates the effect on aiming by disruptive frequencies reverberating through the firearm. The muzzle brake can incorporate a muzzle brake and be positioned after the muzzle brake segment such that the harmonics of the muzzle brake segment can also be affected by the muzzle brake. Use of the tuner on a firearm can increase overall accuracy and affect the groupings of shots on target when compared to use of a firearm without a muzzle brake.

Abstract: A ballistic garage door assembly and a kit for converting a standard garage door includes metal shell panels formed from coil stock metal that uses sheets of ballistic material secured to each metal shell panel. Joint inserts applied to the horizontal ends of the garage door panels provide bullet resistant characteristics at the joints. Ballistic sheets of compressed multiple plies of ballistic material, hardened ballistic resin, or bullet resistant metal barriers, are applied to each garage door shell. Increased levels of ballistic protection will utilize thicker ballistic sheets and increased thickness of the walls of the joint inserts, and optionally an additional external ballistic bumper to increase ballistic performance of the joints between the garage door panels. The outward aesthetic appearance of the garage door does not change appreciably.
