Abstract
An improved mounting for gun sights consists of a mounting bracket which can be mounted on already existing holes for pressed pins of shoulder guns. The mounting bracket is sufficiently rigid so that it can receive and have supported thereon sights, such as telescopic sights, and they are held immovable thereafter. The mounting bracket includes a track which is parallel with the bore of the gun and is spaced slightly above the barrel. The track is secured to the bracket and a sight, such as a telescopic sight, and is replaceably clamped to the track. The mounting bracket is easily removed from the firearm receiver. The sight on the mounting bracket is selectively removeable and replaceable.
Claims5
A shoulder gun having a receiver, two spaced mounting bolts, a trigger housing retained by said mounting bolts, a mounting bracket including two openings, one for each of said mounting bolts and adapted to be clamped to the gun by said bolts, said bracket having an upright flange portion extending alongside of the receiver, a transverse flange disposed slightly above the receiver and in parallel relationship with the receiver of said gun, means forming a track on said transverse flange and extending for virtually the entire length of said transverse flange to provide a continuously extending mounting means of variably useable length and including parallel longitudinally extending continuous wedge sections, screw means for fastening said track on to said transverse flange, and replaceable sight means including mounting means mounted on said track and movable to a preferred position along the length of said track over the length of said transverse flange covered by said track, said mounting means including a screw-clamping means for effecting a rigid mounting connection between said track and said sight means.
