Abstract
A device for adjusting the force between the rifle barrel and the forearm of the stock comprising a stabilizing block having a concave groove formed on the upper surface thereof to engage the rifle barrel. An adjuster screw having an enlarged head is rotatably positioned in a socket formed in the lower side of the stabilizing block and retaining pins retain the head of the screw within the socket. A screw housing is rigidly secured within the stock close to the end of the forearm. The adjuster screw is threadedly secured to the screw housing such that the stabilizing block may be moved relative to the screw housing and forearm to adjust the force on the rifle barrel.
Claims6
In a device for adjusting the force between a rifle barrel and rifle stock forearm;
- a stabilizer block having a longitudinal concaved groove formed in one side of said block, said concaved groove having a radius equal to the radius of the rifle barrel;
- a downwardly depending threaded screw;
- means rotatably securing said threaded screw to said block;
- and a screw housing secured in said stock forearm, said screw housing having a threaded bore to receive said threaded screw such that turning the screw within said threaded bore moves the screw and block relative to the forearm to adjust the force between the forearm and the rifle barrel.
In a device for adjusting the force between a rifle barrel and rifle stock forearm:
- a stabilizer block, said block having a concaved groove formed longitudinally in the surface of said block adjacent the rifel barrel such that the lower surface of the barrel engages said concaved groove, said block further having a socket formed in the surface adjacent the stock forearm;
- a screw;
- said screw having a shoulder formed on one end thereof and a slot on the opposite end thereof, said shoulder on said screw being positioned in said socket of said block such that the screw depends downward from the block;
- retaining means positioned under said shoulder in said socket to limit movement of the screw out of the socket;
- and a screw housing, said screw housing having a threaded bore formed longitudinally thereof, said screw housing being secured to said stock forearm such that the threaded bore is axially aligned with the screw such that movement of the screw within the threaded bore moves the block relative to the stock forearm to vary the force between the barrel and stock forearm.
