1. A buttstock assembly adapted for longitudinal displacement between a first position and a second position along an associated firearm, said buttstock assembly comprising:
- a buttstock body having a length, a width and a height, said buttstock body including;
a first end;
a second end spaced lengthwise from said first end;
a first side extending lengthwise between said first and second ends;
a second side spaced widthwise from said first side and extending lengthwise between side first and second ends;
a top portion extending widthwise between said first and second sides;
a bottom portion spaced heightwise from said top portion and extending widthwise between said first and second sides;
a first passage wall at least partially defining a first passage extending lengthwise along said buttstock body, said first passage adapted to receive an associated receiver extension of the associated firearm;
a second passage wall at least partially defining a second passage extending heightwise along said buttstock body in generally transverse relation to said first passage; and
,a third passage wall at least partially defining a third passage extending widthwise along said buttstock body in generally transverse relation to said first and second passages;
a retaining member having a longitudinal length and extending longitudinally between opposing first and second ends; and
,a transfer member having a first side, an opposing second side, an outer side wall extending between said first and second sides, and an inner side wall at least partially defining an opening extending through said transfer member;
said transfer member at least partially received within said third passage such that said opening in said transfer member is at least approximately aligned with said second passage; and
,said retaining member at least partially received within said second passage and extending through said opening in said transfer member such that said first end of said retaining member projects outwardly from said buttstock body along said bottom portion and said second end of said retaining member projects into said first passage of said buttstock body.

Abstract
A firearm buttstock includes a buttstock body having first, second and third passages. A transfer member is received in the second passage and a retaining member is received in the third passage. A firearm is also disclosed that has a receiver extension. The firearm buttstock can be supported on the firearm such that the receiver extension is received within the first passage. A method of assembling a firearm buttstock assembly is also included.

1. A buttstock assembly adapted for longitudinal displacement between a first position and a second position along an associated firearm, said buttstock assembly comprising:
-
a buttstock body having a length, a width and a height, said buttstock body including; a first end; a second end spaced lengthwise from said first end; a first side extending lengthwise between said first and second ends; a second side spaced widthwise from said first side and extending lengthwise between side first and second ends; a top portion extending widthwise between said first and second sides; a bottom portion spaced heightwise from said top portion and extending widthwise between said first and second sides; a first passage wall at least partially defining a first passage extending lengthwise along said buttstock body, said first passage adapted to receive an associated receiver extension of the associated firearm; a second passage wall at least partially defining a second passage extending heightwise along said buttstock body in generally transverse relation to said first passage; and
,a third passage wall at least partially defining a third passage extending widthwise along said buttstock body in generally transverse relation to said first and second passages; a retaining member having a longitudinal length and extending longitudinally between opposing first and second ends; and
,a transfer member having a first side, an opposing second side, an outer side wall extending between said first and second sides, and an inner side wall at least partially defining an opening extending through said transfer member; said transfer member at least partially received within said third passage such that said opening in said transfer member is at least approximately aligned with said second passage; and
,said retaining member at least partially received within said second passage and extending through said opening in said transfer member such that said first end of said retaining member projects outwardly from said buttstock body along said bottom portion and said second end of said retaining member projects into said first passage of said buttstock body. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A firearm comprising:
-
a receiver extension including a first end operatively engaging a firearm receiver and a second end spaced longitudinally from said first end; and
,a buttstock assembly operatively engaging said receiver extension for displacement therealong between a first position disposed toward said first end of said receiver extension and a second position spaced longitudinally from said first position toward said second end of said receiver extension, said buttstock assembly including; a buttstock body including a first passage extending longitudinally from a first end of said buttstock body toward a second end of said buttstock body, a second passage extending approximately transverse to said first passage and a third passage extending approximately transverse to said first and second passages, said third passage extending through a portion of said buttstock body in communication with said first and second passages; a transfer member at least partially received in said second passage, said transfer member including an inner side wall at least partially defining an opening extending therethrough and an outer side wall extending along a peripheral portion of said transfer member, said transfer member positioned within said second passage such that said opening is in approximate alignment with said third passage and said outer side wall is in abutting engagement with said buttstock body; a retaining member extending between a first end and a second end spaced from said first end, said retaining member at least partially received within said third passage and extending through said opening in said transfer member such that said first end of said retaining member projects at least partially into said first passage to operatively engage said receiver extension; a first biasing member operatively disposed between said buttstock body and said retaining member, said first biasing member operative to urge said first end of said retaining member toward said first passage; and
,a retraction member operatively secured on said retaining member and adapted to withdraw said first end of said retaining member from operative engagement with said receiver extension to permit said buttstock assembly to be displaced between said first and second positions. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method of assembling a firearm buttstock, said method comprising:
-
a) providing a buttstock body including a first passage extending longitudinally from a first end of said buttstock body toward a second end of said buttstock body, a second passage extending into said buttstock body in an orientation approximately transverse to said first passage, and a third passage extending into said buttstock body in an orientation approximately transverse to said first and second passages, said third passage extending through a portion of said buttstock body into communication with said first and second passages; b) providing a transfer member that includes an inner side wall and an outer side wall, said inner side wall at least partially defining an opening extending through said transfer member, said outer side wall extending along an outer peripheral portion of said transfer member; c) inserting said transfer member into said second passage such that said opening is in approximate alignment with said third passage and said outer side wall is in abutting engagement with a portion of said buttstock body within said second passage; d) providing a retaining member extending between opposing first and second ends; and
,e) installing said retaining member in said third passage such that said retaining member extends through said opening in said transfer member and said first end projects into said first passage. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
