Abstract: An out-the-front knife, components thereof, and associated methods. The out-the front knife can be a double-action spring-assisted knife. The knife includes a handle and a blade. The handle includes a rear end and a front opening opposite the rear end. The blade is movable with respect to the handle between stowed and deployed positions. In the stowed position, the blade is biased rearward. The knife includes an actuator movable in a deploying direction to spring the blade forward away from the stowed position toward the deployed position.

Abstract: A hunting blind, components thereof, and associated methods. The blind includes a window or door comprising a closure that when open defines an opening for seeing out of the blind and/or providing ingress and egress for an interior of the blind. The closure comprises first and second closure strips and a slider movable along the closure strips to open and close the opening. The first closure strip includes a first rib having a longitudinal axis extending along a length of the first closure strip. The second closure strip includes a first channel having a longitudinal axis extending lengthwise of the second closure strip.

Abstract: An anti-cant indicator assembly, components thereof, and associated methods. The anti-cant indicator assembly indicates the orientation of a weapon with respect to vertical. The anti-cant indicator assembly includes a mount configured to mount to the weapon, a level including a vial containing a bubble and a pivot connection connecting the level to the mount. The pivot connection is configured to permit movement of the level with respect to the mount about the pivot connection between an operational position in which the bubble can be referenced by the user for indicating orientation of the weapon with respect to vertical, and a stowed position different from the operational position. The pivot connection can include a retainer configured to releasably retain the level in at least one of the operational position or the stowed position. The level can be selectively movable with respect to the mount to calibrate the anti-cant indicator.

Abstract: An inertia bullet remover and associated methods for removing a bullet from an ammunition casing. The inertia bullet remover includes a carriage for carrying the ammunition casing. The carriage is movable with respect to a base between a first position and a second position. Movement of the carriage is guided by a guide. Movement of the carriage is stopped by a stop, which causes the bullet to exit the ammunition casing via inertia.

Abstract: A security and smart home system, components thereof, and associated methods. The system can include a host-carried monitor configured to monitor data associated with the host, such as motion data, position data, temperature data, or humidity data. The system can include one or more security devices located at a premises to monitor security data at the premises, with the one or more security devices in communication with a remote server programmed to process security event signals from the one or more security devices and transmit action instructions to the one or more security devices. Security devices can include an electrical power switch, an electrical power plug, and a camera.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing powder for firearm ammunition and associated methods. The dispenser can include a hopper, a conveyor, a scale sensor, a dispensing head, a dispenser controller, and a tangible storage medium storing instructions executable by the dispenser controller. The dispensing head is movable to a plurality of dispensing positions to dispense ammunition powder to a plurality of cases from the plurality of dispensing positions. In some embodiments, the dispensing head moves between a home position, where the dispensing head receives powder from the conveyor, and the plurality of dispensing positions, where the dispensing head delivers loads of powder from the conveyor to individual ammunition cases.

Abstract: A knife comprising a handle and a blade assembly. The blade assembly includes a blade, a tang, and blade assembly connection structure. The handle includes a receiver configured to receive the tang, and includes handle connection structure. The blade assembly connection structure and handle connection structure are arranged to releasably lock the blade assembly in an installed position on the handle with the tang in the tang receiver.

Abstract: A firearm rest for supporting a firearm on a support surface to facilitate a shooter in aiming the firearm at a target. The firearm rest includes a body comprising gripping material on different sides of the body. The rest can be used in different orientations such that the gripping material is in contact with both the firearm and the support surface, either the firearm or the support surface, or neither the firearm nor the support surface. The shooting rest includes a hub and protrusions extending from the body. Channels in various sides of the body facilitate use of the rest in different orientations.
