Abstract
An extendable butt stock includes a housing having a forward end, an open rearward end, an opening at the forward end and a buffer tube of a firearm received therethrough. A hinge plate pivotally attaches a butt plate to the rearward end of the housing, movable between an open position and a closed position. A spine reinforcing member having a rearward end and a forward end extends from the rearward end of the housing to proximate the forward end of the housing and cradles the buffer tube. The butt plate contacts the rearward end of the spine reinforcing member when the butt plate is in the closed position. An engagement mechanism is carried by the housing and releasably attaches the buffer tube to the spine reinforcing member.

An extendable butt stock comprising:
- a housing having a forward end, a rearward end, an upper portion being open at the forward end for receiving a buffer tube of a firearm therein and open at the rearward end, and a lower portion separated from the upper portion by a divider extending substantially from the rearward end to the forward end;
- a spine reinforcing member, not being a part of the divider, having a rearward end and a forward end, the spine reinforcing member carried within the upper portion of the housing with the rearward end thereof extending beyond the open rearward end of the housing;
- and
- an engagement mechanism carried by the housing for attaching a buffer tube of a firearm to the spine reinforcing member.
An extendable butt stock comprising:
- a housing having a forward end, an open rearward end, and an opening at the forward end for receiving a buffer tube of a firearm therethrough;
