Abstract

A telescoping stock for a firearm, the stock including a stock body having an upper mounting rail, a buffer tube for receiving a firearm buffer, the buffer tube having a complementary mounting rail, and locking means for selectably locking the buffer tube in any one of a plurality of positions relative to the stock body.

Claims

1. A telescoping stock for a firearm, the stock comprising:

a stock body having an upper mounting rail;

a buffer tube for receiving a firearm buffer, said buffer tube having a complementary mounting rail adapted for mounting on said stock body mounting rail; and

locking means for selectably locking the buffer tube in one of a plurality of positions relative to the stock body.

2. The firearm stock according to claim 1, further comprising an adapter, for coupling buffers of different diameters to said buffer tube.

3. The firearm stock according to claim 1, further comprising:

a cheek rest frame coupled to the stock body for raising and lowering said cheek rest relative to the stock body;

a cheek rest mounted on said cheek rest frame; and

means for moving said cheek rest longitudinally relative to said cheek rest frame.

4. A coupling mechanism for coupling a firearm buffer, having a coupling recess, to a buffer tube on a stock, the coupling mechanism comprising:

an adapter configured and adapted to seat inside said recess,

said adapter having locking means for locking said buffer against the buffer tube.

5. The coupling mechanism of claim 4, wherein said locking means includes two apertures for receiving set screws disposed so as to urge said buffer against an internal wall of said buffer tube.

6. A telescoping cheek rest for a stock of a firearm, the cheek rest comprising:

a spring-biased stem mounted in the stock; and

releasable locking means for coupling said stem to the stock at one of several selected positions relative to the stock.

7. The telescoping cheek rest of claim 6, wherein said releasable locking means includes teeth extending from said stem and a releasable tooth engagement element mounted in the stock.

8. The telescoping cheek rest according to claim 6, further comprising:

a cheek rest frame coupled to the stock for raising and lowering said cheek rest relative to the stock;

a cheek rest mounted on said cheek rest frame; and

means for moving said cheek rest longitudinally relative to said cheek rest frame.

9. A method for forming a telescoping stock for a firearm, the method comprising:

providing a stock body having an upper mounting rail;

forming a buffer tube for receiving a firearm buffer, said buffer tube having a complementary mounting rail adapted for mounting on said stock body mounting rail; and

providing locking means for selectably locking said buffer tube in one of a plurality of positions relative to said stock body.

10. The method according to claim 9, further comprising providing an adapter, for coupling buffers of different diameters to said buffer tube.

11. The method according to claim 9, further comprising:

coupling a cheek rest frame to the stock body for raising and lowering said cheek rest relative to the stock body;

a cheek rest mounted on said cheek rest frame; and

means for moving said cheek rest longitudinally relative to said cheek rest frame.
