Abstract
A buffer tube for a firearm can include a body defining an interior cavity for receiving a buffer spring and a rail disposed on and/or formed from the outer surface of the body. The rail can include one or more pin holes configured to receive a pin of a stock to lock the stock in a position. The buffer tube can also include a slide bar channel defined through at least a portion of the rail and configured to allow a slide bar to slide therein relative to the one or more pin holes to urge a pin out of a respective pin hole and/or to block a pin from being received by the pin holes.
Claims20
A firearm structure, comprising:
- a body configured to attach to or forming part of the firearm;
- a rail disposed on or formed from an outer surface of the body, the rail comprising one or more pin holes configured to receive a pin of a stock to lock the stock in a position;
- and
- a slide bar channel defined through at least a portion of the rail and configured to allow a slide bar to slide therein relative to the one or more pin holes to urge a pin out of a respective pin hole and to block a pin from being received by the pin holes.
A firearm stock system, comprising:
- a structure comprising:
- a body configured to attach to or forming part of the firearm;
- a rail disposed on or formed from an outer surface of the body, the rail comprising one or more pin holes configured to receive a pin of a stock to lock the stock in a position;
- and
- a slide bar channel defined through at least a portion of the rail;
- a slide bar disposed within the slide bar channel and configured to slide relative to the rail, wherein the slide bar is configured to allow a pin to enter into the one or more pin holes in a first position, and wherein the slide bar is configured to urge a pin out of the one or more pin holes and to block a pin from entering the one or more pin holes when moved from the first position toward a second position;
- and
- an actuator assembly having an actuator operatively connectable or connected to the slide bar to allow a user to move the slide bar from the first position to the second position by moving the actuator from an unactuated position to an actuated position when connected to the slide bar.
