  • Publication number: 20260098709
    Abstract: A scope mount cap may include a lower surface, a single lateral groove being open on a top side and on both lateral ends of the single lateral groove, and a recess on each lateral side of the scope mount cap defined at each of the respective lateral ends of the single lateral groove. The single lateral groove may be laterally shorter at a bottom side opposite the top side than at the top side. A scope mount may engage the scope mount cap and may include a body configured to attach to an upper receiver of the firearm and define a lower scope mount portion. The body may define at least one lateral accessory mount point comprising an opening extending in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the opening defined at a height below a height of the passage.

  • Publication number: 20250035396
    Abstract: Various systems, methods, and apparatuses related to a firearm suppressor are provided. An example suppressor for a firearm includes an inner body and an external shroud. The inner body may include a muzzle attachment portion and a plurality of baffles. The baffles may each define an opening, and the openings of the plurality of baffles may collectively define a linear projectile path through the inner body along an axis extending from a proximal end of the suppressor to a distal end of the suppressor defining an exit opening. The external shroud may removably couple to and at least partially cover the inner body. The external shroud may permit at least a portion of propellent gas within the inner body to exit the suppressor via a secondary opening defined between the inner body and the external shroud.

  • Patent number: 11598598
    Abstract: Trigger guard assemblies for firearms include a trigger guard movable between a closed positon; and an open position providing greater access to a trigger bow of the firearm. The trigger guard assemblies also include a post that engages the trigger guard, and is movable in relation to the trigger guard between a retracted position and an extended position. When in the retracted position, the post does not interfere with movement of the trigger guard between the open and closed positions. When in the extended position, the post interferes with movement of the trigger guard between the open and closed positions, and exerts a lateral force on the firearm to further secure the trigger guard to the firearm.

  • Patent number: 11313635
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a bolt catch device that prevents the bolt of a bolt carrier assembly of a firearm from moving to its forward position so as to prevent the firearm from being discharged until the user manually moves the bolt catch. The bolt catch is mechanically coupled to the selector of the firearm via a linkage, so that the bolt catch can be moved by way of the selector. This feature can prevent a self-loading firearm that otherwise could function on a semi-automatic basis from operating in such a manner.
