A removable butt stock for a weapon comprising:
- a body having a receiving bore and two storage tubes incorporated therein, said receiving bore configured to attach the butt stock to the weapon;
- said body having a back portion having a padded butt plate with a rounded bottom;
- said body having a lower portion and an enclosed handle attached thereto;
- a two-position release lever mounted within said handle and having a pin that extends through a channel in said body and into said receiver bore;
- wherein said weapon has a protruding buffer tube having a bottom and a series of attachment slots along said bottom;
- and wherein said receiver bore is sized and configured to receive said buffer tube and wherein said pin is configured to insert into one of said attachment slots to secure said butt stock to said weapon.
A tactical weapon butt stock comprising:
- means for attaching, securing and adjusting the butt stock to a protruding buffer tube of the weapon;
- means for preventing rattle movement of the butt stock when attached to the protruding buffer tube of the weapon, said means for preventing rattle movement of the butt stock when attached to the weapon comprising;
- a receiver bore disposed within said butt stock;
- at least two longitudinal mounting grooves incorporated within said receiver bore;
- at least two elongated springs disposed within said mounting grooves;
- wherein said elongated springs have a curved protrusion that engages and imparts pressure on said protruding buffer tube to prevent movement of said butter tube when secured within said receiver bore;
- rounded butt stock means for improving the comfort of the butt stock when held against the upper chest in a tactical fighting position;
- angled cheek rest means for improving the comfort of the weapon when held against the face for firing;
- storage tube means for storing and securing supplies within said butt stock;
- and
- means for preventing components of the butt stock such as a release lever, a trigger and a multiplicity of clips from becoming a catching hazard.
A butt stock for a tactical weapon comprising:
- a hollow body having an outside, a front, a back and an underside and containing a receiver bore and two storage tubes therein, said storage tubes having openings at the front of said body, and said receiver bore having an opening at the front of the body and sized to accommodate a buffer tube of a weapon;
- said receiver bore having internal ribs to allow smooth insertion of the buffer tube therein;
- at least two anti-rattle springs mounted in said receiver bore to prevent movement of the buffer tube when attached within said receiver bore;
- an extended back plate attached to the back of said butt stock body and providing a back closure to said receiver bore and said storage tubes, said extended back plate having a back plate bottom with an inwardly curved surface;
- said storage tubes sitting side by side and below said receiver bore to give said outside of said body a triangular shape which creates an angled cheek weld;
- a padded butt plate attached to said extended back and having curved sides and a rounded ball bottom;
- a two-position release lever attached to the underside of the body and having an integrated locking pin that extends into said receiver bore;
- wherein said buffer tube has a bottom with a series of adjustment slots positioned thereon, and wherein said locking pin engages one of said series of adjustment slots to position said buffer tube and secure said butt stock to said weapon, said release lever having a first position to move said locking pin to allow adjustment of the position of said buffer tube, and a second position to move said locking pin to allow insertion or removal of said buffer tube from said receiver bore;
- an enclosed handle consisting of a latch guard running from said back plate bottom to the underside front of said body;
- wherein said enclosed handle has an opening therein with said release lever positioned within said opening, and wherein said enclosed handle protects said release lever from becoming a snag hazard;
- two cam caps sized to insert and close the openings of said storage tubes, wherein said front of said body has an angled wall adjacent to said storage tube openings and wherein said cam caps have a protruding tongue that slides up and down said angled wall, and wherein said angled wall has a latch slot and said cam caps have a latch paw opposite said protruding tongue wherein said latch paw engages said latch slot to lock said cam cap into said storage tube opening, and wherein said protruding tongue slides up said angled wall to ease removal of said cam cap from said storage tube opening.
