Patent number: 10514225Abstract: A shooting rest and associated methods. The shooting rest includes a forward support and a rear support both supported by a frame. The forward support is configured to clamp a forward portion of the firearm and permit rotation of the firearm with respect to the frame about a pitch axis to adjust a vertical aim of the firearm and about a yaw axis to adjust a horizontal aim of the firearm. The rear support includes a platform positioned to support a bottom of a trigger hand grip portion of the firearm. The platform is adjustable in elevation to adjust the vertical aim of the firearm.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dennis W.

Patent number: 10365076Abstract: An ammunition case primer pocket swager and associated methods. An actuator of the primer pocket swager may be operatively connected to a swage head for driving the swage head to a swaging position to swage the primer pocket, and may be operatively connected to a case holder for moving the case holder from a loading position to an operational position to hold the case to be swaged. Lost motion in a drive train of the primer pocket swager can be used to position the case holder in the operational position before the swage head reaches the swaging position. A primer pocket swager can include an adjustable case holder stop, a pivot mount guide, and/or a case aligner.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dennis W.
