Abstract

A firearm accessory mount comprising a mounting plate, a mechanical anchor, and a magnet. The mounting plate has at least two passages through the mounting plate. The mounting plate may be configured to mount on the firearm with the longitudinal axis parallel to a muzzle of the firearm. The passages may be aligned along the longitudinal axis. The mechanical anchor is configured to attach to the firearm and insert into the first passage. The mechanical anchor may have a protruding lip configured to engage with a wall of the first passage distal to the second passage and mechanically hold the mounting plate to the firearm when the mechanical anchor is inserted into the first passage. The magnet is configured to sit within the second passage and magnetically couple to the firearm.

A firearm accessory mount, comprising:

a mounting plate having an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, and at least two passages through the mounting plate extending from the upper surface to the lower surface, the at least two passages comprising a first passage and a second passage, wherein a length of the mounting plate along a longitudinal axis is larger than a width and a height of the mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate is configured to mount on the firearm with the lower surface adjacent to the firearm and with the longitudinal axis parallel to a muzzle of the firearm, wherein the mounting plate is configured to support an accessory for the firearm on the upper surface, and wherein the at least two passages are aligned along the longitudinal axis;
a mechanical anchor configured to fixedly attach to the firearm and insert into the first passage of the at least two passages, the mechanical anchor having a protruding lip configured to engage with a wall of the first passage distal to the second passage and mechanically hold the mounting plate to the firearm when the mechanical anchor is inserted into the first passage, wherein the protruding lip is an oblique sloped surface and the wall of the first passage distal to the second passage is sloped to form a complementary surface to the protruding lip to facilitate engagement between the mechanical anchor and the mounting plate;
and
a magnet configured to sit within the second passage of the at least two passages and magnetically couple to the firearm;
wherein the mechanical anchor is configured to be positioned closer to a rear end of the firearm than the magnet.
