1. An adjustable rifle stabilizer assembly attaching to, imbedded within or incorporated into the a front rifle stock of a rifle, the rifle stabilizer assembly comprising:
- a linear bar rail affixed to said front rifle stock defining an upper surface, a lower portion defining a linear dovetail slot presenting a first end forming a slot opening, and a second closed end, terminating within but not through said bar rail, said linear dovetail slot further defining an upper slot surface defining a plurality of evenly spaced pin detents and at least two recessed mounting bores through which respective installation screws are securely installed to secure said linear bar rail to said front rifle stock when said linear bar rail is attached to or imbedded within said front rifle stock;
a workpiece, selected from a group of attachments including one or more barrier blocks, a bipod mounting member or a tripod mounting member, each said workpiece defining a flat upper portion extending a dovetail expansion defining a flat upper surface extending above said flat upper portion adapted for insertion within said slot opening and slidable engaging said linear dovetail slot of said linear bar rail; and
at least one upward urged lock pin centrally located within said upper surface of said dovetail expansion capable of being intentionally lowered below said upper surface by a lock pin release means which is situated within said workpiece to avoid interference between said linear bar rail and said workpiece during use, each at least one said lock pin defining a shaped head extending above said upper surface of said dovetail expansion into a locked position, placing said shaped head within a selected pin detent of said linear bar rail as determined by the user to lock said workpiece into a position along said linear bar rail suited for the chosen rifle shot, wherein said lock pin is forcibly elevated into a locked position and prevented from downward movement until such time as the lock pin release means is activated, allowing said shaped head of the lock pin to be lowered below said upper surface of said dovetail expansion and moved along said linear bar rail or disengaged from said slot opening.

8. An adjustable rifle stabilizer assembly attaching to, imbedded within or incorporated into the a front rifle stock of a rifle, the rifle stabilizer assembly comprising:
-
a linear bar rail defining an upper surface and a lower portion extending a lower dovetail extension defining a flat lower surface, a first end and a second end, said flat lower surface presenting a plurality of evenly spaced pin detents in a uniform linear manner; a workpiece, selected from a group of attachments including one or more barrier blocks, a bipod mounting member or a tripod mounting member, each said workpiece defining a flat upper portion forming an inner upper dovetail slot capable of slidably engaging said lower dovetail extension of said linear bar rail, each said workpiece further extending said lower 0 portion, said upper dovetail slot of each said workpiece further defining a flat inner surface including at least one vertical pin bore; at least one upwardly urged lock pin defining a shaped head extending above said flat inner surface of said dovetail slot into a locked position, placing the shaped head within a selected pin detent as determined by the user to lock the respective workpiece into a position along said lower dovetail extension of said linear bar rail suited for the chosen rifle shot, wherein each said lock pin is forcibly elevated into a locked position and prevented from downward movement until such time as said lock pin release means is activated, allowing for said shaped head of said lock pin to be lowered into an unlocked position below said flat inner surface and moved along or removed from said first end or second end of said linear bar rail; and each said at least one lock pin further defines a shaped head, a base, and a shaft defining a reduced central portion and urged upward from said vertical pin bore by a first spring; and
said lock pin release means further defines a transverse bore within said lower portion of said workpiece, a release pin providing a depression end, a base end, a cylindrical shaft defining a reduced bypass portion biased outward within said transverse bore by a second spring, wherein said depression end of said release pin in depressed, moving said release pin inward to aligned said reduced bypass portion into an intersection with said reduced central portion of said at least one lock pin, allowing said lock pin to be raised or lowered within said respective vertical pin bore, and wherein said release pin, when not depressed, aligns said shaft of said release pin within said reduced central portion of said lock pin, preventing downward movement of said lock pin and preventing said shaped head from being disengaged with said respective pin detent to unlock said workpiece from a locked position within said linear bar rail. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
