Abstract: A rail cover may be snapped on or off the side of Picatinny rail mounted to a weapon, such as a rifle. The rail cover protects the user from the teeth of the rail and from heat generated during repeated firing. The rail cover is readily installed or removed from the side, rather than being slipped over the end of the rail, by pressing it onto the rail or by prying it off the rail. The slightly flexible rail cover is preferably made of a polymer to which a rubberizing agent has been added and by forming grooves in its top surface. In addition to improving flexibility, the grooves also improve the user's grip on the rail cover. Locking tabs on the underside of the rail cover, dimensioned to fit in the grooves between adjacent teeth of the Picatinny rail, prevent axial movement of the rail cover when it is installed.

Abstract: A rifle periscope (30) is provided for allowing an indirect line of vision without obstructing use of existing sight assemblies (18, 20) mounted on a rifle (10). The rifle periscope (30) includes a removable mount assembly (32) attached to a barrel (22) of the rifle (22) so as to allow for an unobstructed direct line of vision when using the sight assemblies (18, 20). The removable mount assembly (32) has a first surface (48) and a second surface (52). The first surface (48) has a viewing mirror (50) attached thereto for to providing a first indirect line of vision that is outside of a firing range of the rifle (10). The second surface (52) has a targeting mirror (54) attached thereto for providing a second indirect line of vision that is within a firing range of said rifle (10).

Abstract: A forearm handgrip for a rifle, comprising a pair of essentially identical semi-oval mating half-grip pieces adapted to mate together to form the grip. The half-grip pieces have an exterior shaped in a generally semi-oval lateral section having curved sides and adapted to fit a shooter' hand, and are formed of injection-molded high density polymer. At least the bottom, and preferably both, half-grip piece have an accessory mounting rail recessed in the area at the center of the piece such that the posts and guide channel of the rail are inside what would be the extended arc of the sides of the half grip piece. A cover plate is adapted for engagement with each rail to cover the rail when the rail is not in use, the cover plate being shaped to replicate the extended arc of the sides of the half grip up to a flat longitudinally extending rib running along the center of the cover plate. Ventilation holes may be located in a row in the accessory rail and in the cover plate.

Abstract: A dual powered fiber optic sight for a gun, which can be illuminated either by ambient light or by a light source. The light source is preferably a light-emitting diode (LED). Ambient light and light from the LED are carried by a fiber optic rod to a target screen and the rod appears as a bright dot on the target screen on the front sight of the gun. An optional rear sight also receives light from the ambient light or from the light source.

Abstract: An adjustable aperture forming mechanism provides a tapered hole, an O-ring located in the tapered hole, and a pusher that pushes the O-ring and compresses it into the tapered hole in order to reduce the size of the aperture. When the pusher is retracted, the O-ring returns to its uncompressed, enlarged shape, enlarging the shape of the aperture.
