Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a fixed stock with integral storage that utilizes a cam plug inside the storage compartment to secure the stock to a firearm. In the preferred embodiment, the cam plug interfaces with the hind edge of the stock body and is therefore visible outside the stock, for a stronger and more secure hold.

What is claimed is: 1. A firearm butt stock for a firearm, the firearm comprising a receiver and receiver extension tube, the butt stock comprising: a stock body slidable upon the receiver extension tube, the stock body further comprising forward and a rearward ends, the rearward end terminating in a circumferential flange that at least partially defines a rear compartment and a hind edge; a bolt capable of threadingly interfacing with the receiver extension tube; a cam plug, through which the bolt may pass in order to interface with the receiver extension tube; and a door hingedly connected to one side of the hind edge and the cam plug and selectively latched to a portion of the hind edge opposite where the door is hingedly connected; wherein the cam plug resides within the rear compartment, is held in position by the bolt, and thereby cams the stock body against the receiver. 2.
