Abstract
My invention pertains to firearms. It is an attachment for a bullpup rifle. The invention attaches to a bullpup rifle without making any permanent modifications to the rifle. It modifies the trajectory of ejected casings so that the casings travel away from the user to prevent injury. Prior art exists which can deflect casings, but those inventions either require permanent modification to the host firearm, increase potential to damage the host firearm, or are not securely affixed to the host firearm. My invention is new in that it can deflect casings without any of the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art. It can also be easily repositioned to adjust the trajectory of the deflected casings.
Claims3
A device to be attached to a firearm comprising:
- a) a body shaped such that it can straddle and conform to the left, top, and right surfaces of the host firearm, wherein the length of the body is greater than one-half of the distance between the host firearm's ejection port and the rearmost point of the host firearm;
- b) a boss that, when the casing deflector is installed on the host firearm, protrudes outward from the body in the area closest to the host firearm's ejection port;
- and
- c) a fastener or series of fasteners positioned between the inner surfaces of the body and the outer surfaces of the host firearm.
