Accessory mount

An accessory mount configured for attachment to a rail interface system, the accessory mount comprising:

• a base comprising a receiving groove;
• a clamp comprising a receiving groove;
• a push-button recoil lug comprising an actuating arm, with an actuation button on one end and a recoil lug on the opposite end;
• a spring;
• and
• an adjustment knob;
• wherein:
• a channel is defined between the receiving groove of the base and the receiving groove of the clamp;
• the clamp is connected to the base by a threaded shank attached to the adjustment knob;
• rotation of the adjustment knob causes the clamp to move relative to the base, thereby selectively varying a width of the channel;
• the push-button recoil lug is slidably positioned within a guide groove in the base and configured to removably position the recoil lug within the channel;
• and
• the push-button recoil lug is biased by the spring, which is positioned within a socket adjacent to the guide groove in the base.

• the clamp is connected to the base by a threaded shank attached to the adjustment knob;
• rotation of the adjustment knob causes the clamp to move relative to the base, thereby selectively varying a width of the channel;
• the adjustment knob includes a neck positioned within a bore on a lateral side of the clamp;
• the spring and the collar are also positioned within the bore, with the collar being biased against a distal end of the adjustment knob by the spring;
• cooperating mating surfaces on the collar and the distal end of the adjustment knob are configured to resist rotational movement of the adjustment knob until sufficient rotational force is applied to the adjustment knob;
• and
• the push-button recoil lug is slidably positioned within a guide groove in the base and configured to removably position the recoil lug in the channel.
