Abstract
There is provided a firearm (3) with a closed sight (1) mounted thereon. The closed sight is received on top of a mounting pin (7) extending upwardly from the firearm (3). A locking fastener (28) extends through a side of the closed sight (1), in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the mounting pin (7), and a first end of the locking fastener (28) engages the mounting pin (7) to form an interlock, such that the closed sight (1) is securely mounted to the firearm (3).
Claims17
A firearm with a closed sight mounted thereon,
- the closed sight being received on top of a mounting pin extending upwardly from the firearm,
- wherein a locking fastener extends through a side of the closed sight, in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the mounting pin, and a first end of the locking fastener engages the mounting pin to form an interlock, such that the closed sight is securely mounted to the firearm.
A mounting system for mounting a closed sight onto a firearm, the mounting system comprising:
- a closed sight comprising a base arrangeable, in use, adjacent to a mount of a firearm, the base comprising a mounting cavity configured to receive a mounting pin, the closed sight further comprising a side comprising a locking cavity, the locking cavity extending perpendicularly to the mounting cavity and conjoining the mounting cavity, such that a mounting pin received within the mounting cavity may extend into the locking cavity;
- and
- a locking fastener configured for insertion into the locking cavity,
- wherein the closed sight is configured such that insertion of a mounting pin within the mounting cavity followed by insertion of the locking fastener into the locking cavity enables engagement of the locking fastener with the mounting pin, such that the closed sight is lockably securable to the mounting pin.
A mounting system for mounting a closed sight to a firearm, the mounting system comprising:
- a closed sight comprising a housing, wherein the housing comprises a front window, a rear window and a lens onto which a reticle of the closed sight is projected, the closed sight being received on top of two mounting pins extending upwardly from the firearm and partially into the housing of the closed sight, each mounting pin having a tapered indent,
- wherein two screw-threaded locking fasteners extend into opposing sides of the closed sight, at a height level with the tapered indents, each screw threaded locking fastener comprising a tapered end having a complementary shape to the tapered indent of each mounting pin, and
- such that screwing of each screw threaded locking fastener into the closed sight engages the tapered end against the tapered indent to urge the closed sight downwards towards the firearm, thereby securely mounting the closed sight to the firearm.
