Abstract: An adjustable stock assembly for a firearm includes a buffer tube extending rearwardly from a receiver, and provided with a series of recesses formed in a bottom portion thereof. A stock has a front end mounted for longitudinal axial sliding movement along the buffer tube, and a rear end provided with a butt plate. A lever arrangement is mounted on the stock for slidable movement therewith along the buffer tube to selectively engage and disengage with any one of the recesses formed in the buffer tube. The lever arrangement is positioned between the buffer tube and the stock, and is configured to prevent any movement of the stock relative to the buffer tube other than the longitudinal axial sliding movement of the stock along the buffer tube.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a firearm having a receiver, a barrel and a magazine tube includes an elongated heatshield body having a set of mounting feet provided thereon. A forend assembly includes a U-shaped forend body and a U-shaped bracket arrangement received and retained within the forend body for receiving the magazine tube and connecting the mounting feet to the forend assembly such that an entire length of the heatshield body is mounted in a continuous spaced floating relationship over the barrel to prevent any contact between the heatshield body and the barrel.

Abstract: A firearm assembly includes a receiver having a trigger guard structure, and a stock structure coupled to a rear portion of the receiver. An insert is positioned between the trigger guard structure and the stock structure for ensuring a tight fit and preventing contact therebetween.

Abstract: An adjustable stock and cheek rest assembly for a firearm includes a buffer tube extending rearwardly from the firearm at an angle relative to the firearm receiver. A stock is slidably mounted on the buffer tube, and a cheek rest is disposed in overlying relationship to the stock. A cheek rest adjustment arrangement is connected between the stock and the cheek rest, and is provided with a movable linkage for enabling vertical movement of the cheek rest relative to the stock as the stock moves along the angled buffer tube. A movable member provided with locking structure is mounted on the stock for selective engagement with lock receiving structure on the buffer tube for locking the stock in various axial adjustment positions along the buffer tube.

Abstract: An adjustable cheek rest assembly for a firearm includes a stock adapted to be mounted on a support member of the firearm, and a cheek rest disposed in overlying relationship to the stock. A cheek rest adjustment arrangement is connected between the stock and the cheek rest and includes a movable linkage for enabling adjustment of the cheek rest relative to the stock.

Abstract: A firearm assembly includes a shoulder stock assembly having a hinge arrangement including a first hinge portion mounted within a rear portion of a firearm assembly, and a second hinge portion mounted within the shoulder stock assembly. The shoulder stock assembly and the rear portion of the firearm assembly are movable into and out of locking alignment with one another. A translation linkage is located between the first and second hinge portions for permitting the first and second hinge portions to move into and out of spaced apart alignment with one another. The hinge portions and the translation linkage are substantially concealed from view when the shoulder stock assembly and the rear portion of the firearm assembly are moved into locking alignment with one another.

Abstract: A heatshield assembly for a metal barrel of a firearm includes a heatshield body provided with a rear end extending to a front end, and configured to overlie the barrel of the firearm. An insulating mounting arrangement is frictionally attached to and located within the heatshield body. The mounting arrangement is separate from the heatshield body for mounting the heatshield body to the barrel of a firearm in a continuous spaced relationship therefrom without damaging the barrel. With the heatshield body constructed of a metal material, the mounting arrangement is particularly constructed to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the heatshield body and the barrel.

Abstract: A retractable bipod assembly includes a pair of leg assemblies adapted to support a firearm during shooting thereof. A housing is adapted to be secured on a front portion of the firearm for pivotally mounting the leg assemblies between a folded up, storage position and a folded down, support position. A coupling arrangement is provided between the leg assemblies wherein the leg assemblies are in direct driving engagement and continuous contact with one another enabling pivotal movement of one of the leg assemblies to automatically cause simultaneous pivotal movement of the other of the leg assemblies.

Abstract: A pistol grip recoil assembly for a firearm includes a rigid grip body formed with rest structure thereon and connected to a firearm. A substantially elastomeric, resilient and deformable grip insert is received in the grip body and forms a shock absorbing, cushioning backstrap engageable with the palm of a user's hand for minimizing recoil caused by discharge of the firearm. The grip body and grip insert are slidably engaged together by means of a dovetail arrangement and secured together thereafter by a means of a fastening structure.

Abstract: A shotgun mountable shell holder is provided for holding a single shotgun shell therein. The shell holder includes a rigid body having an external mounting surface provided with a track slidably mounted and frictionally retained on a rail arrangement having at least one rail attached externally of a shotgun. The rigid body also includes an internal shell receiving and engaging structure sized and shaped to slidably receive and frictionally retain the single shotgun shell therein. The track and the rail have mating dovetail-shaped cross sections.

Abstract: A pivotable and length adjustable firearm stock assembly includes a pivot stock having one end provided with a combined pivoting and latching arrangement movable about a horizontal pivot axis and adapted to be pivotally mounted on a rear end of the firearm. An opposite end is provided with a slide member having a lock receiving structure. A butt stock has one end slidably mounted on the slide member, and an opposite end provided with a butt plate pivotally mounted thereto. A movable member is interconnected between the pivot stock and the butt stock for locking the butt stock in various axial adjustment positions relative to the slide member of the pivot stock. The pivot stock and the butt stock together are movable about the horizontal pivot axis between a folded position and an unfolded position, and the butt stock is slidably adjustable relative to the pivot stock between various collapsed and extended positions.
