Abstract: The quick release gun sight adapter includes a scope adapter, a red dot sight adapter, a locking block, a spring loaded ramped blade, and a spring loaded latch piston. The red dot sight adapter is attachable to a red dot sight and the ramped blade is attached to the red dot sight adapter. The ramped blade is rotatably attachable to the scope adapter, and the scope adapter is rotatably adapted to hold the ramped blade such that when the ramped blade is attached to the scope adapter, and the ramped blade and the red dot sight adapter are rotated the ramped blade engages the locking block and locks the ramped blade into place. The piston communicates with the locking block such that when actuated the piston engages the locking block such that the ramped blade and red dot sight adapter may be rotated and unattached from the scope adapter.

Abstract: A gun mount for use with weapons that do not have a forward mount point or a mid weapon mount orientation is required. The gun mount is securely attached to the weapon by using two existing separate structural features of the gun as attach points. The first point of attachment is the ammunition can mounting bracket and the second attachment point is the main mounting lug located proximate the trigger guard. Once attached to the gun, the mount can be attached via a main coupling to an existing tripod or vehicle mount. The two-point attachment allows the shooter to steady the gun and eliminate vibration and improve accuracy of aim. In addition, the ammunition can is relocated from the common position underneath the gun to a vertical position on the left side of the gun for better alignment and ammunition feed. The entire assembly is formed of coated aluminum to effect a strong, compact and lightweight design.
