| 20120180353 | Recoil Absorbing Stock - A recoil absorption system for a long gun is provided that includes at least one fluid-filled piston shock attached between the body of the rifle and the stock to provide a damped connection between the two. When large caliber rounds are fired, the shocks are permitted to compress, so that the buffer tube is correspondingly permitted to travel rearward within the buffer tube bore of the stock. The stocks detent pin is normally captured within a slot on the buffer tube, such that the long gun recoil causes the buffer tube slot to move relative to the pin, the pin restricts the buffer tube movement and compression of the shocks to the length of the slot. In this way, the recoil energy of large caliber rounds is effectively absorbed, providing a more comfortable and accurate shooting experience. | 07-19-2012 |
| 20120180352 | Systems and Methods for Attaching and Detaching Firearm Accessories - The present invention relates to systems and methods for using a cartridge case as a tool to install or remove firearm accessories such as a barrel attachment.

This rim channel provides mechanical leverage by enabling a user to apply force on the engaged cartridge case to rotate the barrel attachment around a bore axis of the firearm barrel. In some embodiments, the rim channel is an integral portion of a cartridge rim slot machined into the exterior part of the barrel attachment. Ideally, the rim channel includes a curved portion to increase the load-bearing contact area. The rim channel can also be adapted to accept different case rim sizes. Multiple rim slots can be machined into the barrel attachment, allowing the user to spread out the forces amongst multiple cartridge cases. The contact area between the rim of the cartridge case and the barrel attachment can be further increased by sliding a half-moon insert into the rim slot. | 07-19-2012 |
