Abstract: The present invention relates to a rail cover for a firearm rail, and more particularly to a rail cover with a base and an insert. In one embodiment, a cover for a firearm rail includes a base with an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion has a groove dimensioned to engage a firearm rail. The cover also includes an insert for engaging the upper portion of the base. The upper portion of the base includes an overhang dimensioned to receive the insert. The groove retains the base to a firearm rail, and the overhang retains the insert to the base. The base is substantially rigid, and the insert is substantially flexible.

Abstract: The present invention relates to magazines for firearms, and more particularly to magazines that accept blank cartridges for training and other exercises and that prevent the introduction of live cartridges. In an embodiment, the safety magazine includes an internal cavity that is shorter in length than a live ammunition cartridge. The internal cavity accepts shorter blank ammunition cartridges. The top-most ammunition cartridge in the magazine sits just under the magazine's feed lips, in the top-most ammunition position. A projection extends from the top end of the magazine opposite the feed lips to block a longer live ammunition cartridge from being inserted into the top-most ammunition position. Thus, live cartridges cannot be loaded into the magazine even at the top-most position of the magazine. The projection is retractable into the magazine.

Abstract: A grip panel with removable interchangeable sliding or other type locking inserts that trap and fasten switches for firearm accessories such as white lights, lasers, invisible lasers and communication devices to the host firearm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to rifle magazines, and more particularly to an improved detachable magazine for a rifle. The improved magazine has an outer case with an open top end, a bottom end, and an internal cavity. The magazine also includes a follower that moves within the internal cavity. The follower guides ammunition cartridges toward feed lips at the top of the magazine, where the cartridges are loaded into the rifle. The follower includes one or more openings or slots formed through the top surface of the follower. The slots enable debris or dirt inside the magazine to fall out when the magazine is being cleaned. Water can be sprayed into the magazine through the slots in the follower, and dirt or debris can be flushed out to clean the magazine without disassembly.

Abstract: A bipod for a firearm is provided, including a body with cutouts to receive a bipod base, and a pair of legs. The bipod base is pivotally mounted to the body, and a firearm mounting bracket is pivotally mounted to the bipod base, allowing for a traversing and/or canting motion. A ball lock mounts each leg to the body, allowing the legs to be independently deployed or stored with the push of a plunger. The legs also telescope to allow adjustment of the bipod height.

Abstract: A vertical fore grip for a firearm with an integrated pressure switch pocket. The vertical fore grip includes a body with internal storage cavity, a mount adapted to secure a firearm, a pocket for a pressure switch on the perimeter of the body, and a cap to secure a pressure switch and waterproof the internal storage cavity. The mount has a groove for a firearm rail, at least one locking bar, and a spring for engaging the locking bar to a firearm rail.
