Abstract

Implementations of a multiple accessory gun mount are provided. In some implementations, through the use of interchangeable accessory adaptors, a user may configure the multiple accessory gun mount to position and secure a variety of accessories in a variety of configurations on a firearm. In some implementations, the multiple accessory gun mount may comprise a hub having a top side, a bottom side, and a first side. In some implementations, an accessory such as a front sight may be secured directly to the top side of the hub. In some implementations, an accessory adaptor may be secured to the top side, the first side, and/or the second side of the hub. In this way, an end user may use one or more accessory adaptors to secure one or more firearm accessories to the hub in a variety of configurations based on the end user'"'"'s needs and/or preferences.

Claims

1. A multiple accessory gun mount comprising:

a hub having a top side, a bottom side, and a first side, wherein the top side has a first mounting interface and the first side has a second mounting interface thereon;

wherein the first and second mounting interface each comprise a channel extending between a first ridge and a second ridge, the channel being configured to receive therein an accessory adaptor;

2. The multiple accessory gun mount of claim 1, further comprising at least one accessory adaptor configured to be received within a mounting interface of the top side and the first side of the hub.

3. The multiple accessory gun mount of claim 1, further comprising a second side, the second side having a third mounting interface thereon wherein the third mounting interface comprises a channel extending between a first ridge and a second ridge, the channel being configured to receive therein an accessory adaptor.

4. The multiple accessory gun mount of claim 3, further comprising at least one accessory adaptor configured to be received within a mounting interface of the top side, the first side, and the second side of the hub.

5. The multiple accessory gun mount of claim 1, further comprising at least one accessory adaptor configured to be received within a mounting interface of the top side and the first side of the hub.
