Abstract: A bump stock and interface system for a semi-automatic firearm. The interface system includes first and second bearing elements. A handle is provided with an integral finger rest. The bearing elements are configured to wholly disengage and re-engage from the handle via a straight linear disconnecting motion. In use, the user grasps the handle with one hand and places an index finger of the same hand firmly on the finger rest.

Abstract: My process does not convert natural gas into compressed natural gas, does not convert natural gas into liquified natural gas but uses 2 new chemical formulas to convert natural gas into synthetic gasolines or into synthetic diesels. After producing CO through a technology of partial combustion , my process improves Fischer-Tropsch process using CH4 instead of H2, following 2 new chemical equations and adding salt, NaCl, to an iron, FeO, catalyst or to any other catalyst capable of generating hydrocarbons. Instead of producing a large variety of synthetic hydrocarbons like other processes do, my process delivers only synthetic gasolines following 5 CH4+2 CO=C7H16+2 H2O or only synthetic diesels following 11 CH4+5 CO=C16H34+5 H2O thanks to the addition of salt to an iron catalyst or to any other catalyst. No oil refining needed. Because natural gas is the cleanest hydrocarbon, my process produces clean synthetic gasolines or clean synthetic diesels.
