First Claim
Patent Images
1. A firearm, comprising:
- a barrel arranged a longitudinal axis of the firearm;
a receiver operably connected to the barrel;
a stock;
a first connector connected to the stock;
a second connector at least partially disposed within the receiver; and
a receiver-stock attachment member extending through a mounting aperture in the second connector and through a receiver mounting aperture in the first connector, whereinthe receiver-stock attachment member biases the second connector towards the first connector,the first connector has a body with an exterior surface extending between the stock and the receiver, the exterior surface of the first connector being adjacent to an exterior surface of the stock and adjacent to an exterior surface of the receiver, andthe exterior surface of the first connector includes an upper surface that is curved along a direction of the longitudinal axis and curved along a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.
