Abstract
An improved means of attaching a fore stock to a break action firearm provides for convenient adjustment to compensate for dimensional variations caused by wear, or occuring during manufacture of the various firearm components, and allows the user to adjust the tightness of the action. The stock is screwed to a wedge member riding on a cammed lug carried by the firearm barrel, such that tightening of the screw causes the stock to be cammed against the receiver hinge.
Claims4
In a firearm having a receiver, a fore stock and at least one barrel, an improved means for adjustably attaching the fore stock to the remainder of the firearm;
- said means comprising:
- an attachment lug carried by the barrel and including a first inclined cam surface, a fore stock wedge co-operating with said attachment lug and including a second inclined cam surface, and means adjustably attaching said fore stock to said fore stock wedge so as to permit adjustment of the radial distance therebetween, said second cam surface riding on said first cam surface, such that radial displacement of said fore stock wedge, relative to said fore stock, results in a corresponding axial displacement of said fore stock relative to said lug, whereby said fore stock may be adjustably abutted against the receiver.
