Abstract
A gunstock is presented which is individually capable of mounting a diverse assortment of long gun firearms. It is comprised of three primary components, these being a buttstock, a bedding chassis, and a forestock. These components are removably attached to one another, thereby permitting selective assembly and disassembly of the gunstock. The bedding chassis, which is the component that is attached to the firearm'"'"'s action and barrel assembly, can be configured to accommodate various types of firearms. The utility of the gunstock derives from the fact that different types of firearms can be mounted to individual bedding chassis, which can be removably and interchangeably installed in the gunstock. Further, the bedding chassis acts as a base onto which components with varied configurations can be attached, permitting a firearm to be modularly reconfigured as circumstances warrant.
