Abstract
A bipod mounting assembly for attaching a bipod to the forearm stock portion of a firearm, which includes a mounting yoke adapted to quickly and easily attach to the swivel stud connector mounted to the forearm stock portion of the firearm. The mounting yoke is adapted to receive a mounting block thereover, with the mounting block being attached to the mounting yoke to thus attach the mounting block to the forearm stock portion of the fire arm. A bipod mounting frame that includes a pair of extensible telescoping legs is releasably attachable to the mounting block by a quick-release locking catch to enable the quick attachment/detachment of the legs of the bipod from the mounting block, and thus the firearm.
Claims9
A bipod support for a firearm, comprising:
- a mounting block adapted to be mountable to a stock portion of the firearm and having a substantially square shaped recess formed therein;
- a pair of legs connected to said mounting block and extending downwardly therefrom for supporting the firearm in a stable orientation;
- and
- means for mounting said mounting block to the stock portion of the firearm, said means comprises a substantially U-shaped yoke adapted to fit within said recess formed in said mounting block and having a base plate, a pair of parallel side walls depending from said base plate and adapted to mount to a swivel stud attached to the stock portion of the firearm with the swivel stud received between said side walls, and a bore formed in said base plate in which a fastener can be received to attach said mounting block to said yoke.
A mounting block assembly for being secured to a swivel stud depending from the stock of a firearm, the swivel stud having an exposed eye extending therethrough, said mounting block assembly comprising:
- a mounting block having an aperture formed in an upper surface thereof;
- a substantially rigid mounting member having a pair of parallel side walls that define a central channel sized to receive the swivel stud, a removable fastener adapted to be extended between said parallel side walls of said mounting member and through the eye of the swivel stud to fasten said mounting member to the swivel stud, said mounting member adapted to be received within said aperture formed within said upper surface of said mounting block and to receive a securing means extending through said mounting block for securing said mounting member within said aperture of said mounting block, said securing means selectively drawing said mounting member downwardly into said aperture for securing said mounting block firmly against the stock of the firearm.
