Abstract

A mount for firearm assembly and adjustment includes a firearm engagement portion having a hollow body with at least one recess for receiving a firearm buffer tube therein, and a support member configured to be secured to a support.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mount for a firearm assembly and adjustment, the firearm assembly including a buffer tube having a cylindrical portion and a buffer tube flange, the mount comprising:
a firearm engagement portion comprising a hollow body defining a central, longitudinal axis and comprising at least one recess extending away from the longitudinal axis, wherein the hollow body comprises an inner surface, the inner surface comprising at least one buffer tube support being sized and shaped to receive the cylindrical portion of the buffer tube, the at least one recess forming a buffer tube flange receiving portion that provides a mounting setting for the firearm buffer tube, the at least one recess being sized and shaped to receive the buffer tube flange, wherein the hollow body comprises at least one through-hole for inserting a fastener, the at least one through-hole passing through an outer surface and the inner surface of the hollow body; and
a support member, the support member extending from the firearm engagement portion and configured to be secured to a support, the support member having a monolithic construction and a generally rectangular cross-section, the support member having a width and a length, the length extending radially away from the longitudinal axis of the hollow body, wherein the length is greater than the width.

2. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the support member includes a mounting portion having a stem and a base, wherein the base includes one or more through holes configured to receive one or more fasteners therethrough to connect the support member to a work surface.

3. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the support member is configured to be secured in a support mechanism.

4. The mount of claim 3 , wherein the support mechanism is a vise, wherein the support member is configured to be secured within jaws of the vise.

5. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the hollow body comprises at least two recesses.

6. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the hollow body comprises four recesses.

7. The mount of claim 6 , wherein adjacent recesses of the four recesses are perpendicular to each other.

8. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the at least one recess includes two opposing sides and a side interconnecting the two opposing sides, wherein the side interconnecting the two opposing sides forms discretely identifiable corners with the two opposing sides, the at least one recess also including an open side that faces inwardly toward the longitudinal axis, the inner surface further including a relief recess positioned between the buffer tube support and at least one of the two opposing side walls of the at least one recess.

9. The mount of claim 1 , wherein the inner surface of the hollow body is longer axially than it is radially.

10. A mount for a firearm assembly and adjustment comprising:
a firearm engagement portion comprising a hollow body defining a central, longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of recesses such that each of the plurality of recesses extends in a distinct direction away from the longitudinal axis, the plurality of recesses being sized and shaped to receive a buffer tube flange of a buffer tube of a firearm, wherein the hollow body comprises an inner surface, the inner surface comprising a buffer tube support between the plurality of recesses, the buffer tube support being sized and shaped to receive a cylindrical portion of the buffer tube, wherein the hollow body extends axially along a length between a front face and a back face, wherein a width of at least one of the front face and the back face is less than the length of the hollow body; and
a support member, the support member extending from the firearm engagement portion and configured to be secured to a support, the support member having a monolithic construction and a generally rectangular cross-section, the support member having a width and a length, the length extending radially away from the longitudinal axis of the hollow body, wherein the length is greater than the width.

11. The mount of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of recesses comprises a buffer tube flange receiving portion that provides a distinct mounting setting for the firearm buffer tube.

12. The mount of claim 10 , wherein the hollow body comprises at least three recesses.

13. The mount of claim 10 , wherein the hollow body comprises four recesses.

14. The mount of claim 13 , wherein adjacent recesses of the four recesses are perpendicular to each other.

15. The mount of claim 10 , wherein the body portion of the firearm engagement portion comprises at least one through-hole for inserting a fastener, the at least one through-hole passing through an outer surface and the inner surface of the hollow body.

16. The mount of claim 15 , wherein the at least one through-hole is configured to receive a support pin therethrough.

17. The mount of claim 15 , wherein the at least one through-hole is configured to receive a support screw therethrough.

18. The mount of claim 10 , wherein the body portion comprises an outer surface, the outer surface comprising a plurality of recesses corresponding to the plurality of recesses of the hollow body.

19. The mount of claim 10 , wherein at least two recesses from among the plurality of recesses are perpendicular to each other.

20. A mount for a firearm assembly and adjustment comprising:
a firearm engagement portion comprising a hollow body extending axially along a length between a front face and a back face, wherein a width of at least one of the front face and the back face is less than the length of the hollow body, the hollow body comprising an outer surface, an inner surface, and at least one through-hole passing through the outer surface and the inner surface for inserting a fastener therethrough, the hollow body defined by a central, longitudinal axis and comprising four recesses such that each of the four recesses extends in a distinct direction away from the central, longitudinal axis and provides a distinct mounting setting for a firearm buffer tube of a firearm, the four recesses being sized and shaped to receive a buffer tube flange of the firearm buffer tube, the inner surface of the hollow body including a buffer tube support between each adjacent pair of the four recesses, the buffer tube supports being sized and shaped to receive a cylindrical portion of the buffer tube, wherein adjacent recesses of the four recesses are perpendicular to each other; and
a support member having a monolithic construction and a generally rectangular cross-section, the support member having a width and a length, the length extending radially away from the longitudinal axis of the hollow body, wherein the length is greater than the width, the support member comprising a plurality of support engaging surfaces extending from the bottom of the firearm engagement portion and configured to be secured in a vise.
