Abstract

A stock for a firearm includes an attachment member shaped to attach the stock to a firearm, a stock member pivotally attached to the attachment member so that the stock member is pivotable between an aligned position and a folded position, and a stock body. One of the stock member and stock body includes a plurality of stock attachment locations so that the stock member and stock body are connected together at one of the plurality of stock attachment locations.

Claims

1. A stock for a firearm, comprising:

an attachment member shaped to attach the stock to a firearm;

a stock member pivotally attached to the attachment member, wherein the stock member is pivotable between an aligned position and a folded position; and

a stock body, wherein one of the stock member and stock body includes a plurality of stock attachment locations, wherein the stock member and stock body are connected together at one or more of the plurality of stock attachment locations.

2. The stock of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stock attachment locations are a plurality of vertically oriented holes.

3. The stock of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stock attachment locations are disposed in a recessed surface of the stock member, the stock further comprising a fastener extending through one of the plurality of stock attachment locations of the stock member into a stock attachment location of the stock body to connect the stock body to the stock member.

4. The stock of claim 1, wherein the stock body is an assembly including:

a housing including a plurality of channels;

a telescoping frame selectively fixable at one of a plurality of housing positions; and

a cheek piece including a protrusion, wherein the protrusion is disposed in one of the plurality of channels to position the cheek piece at one of a plurality of heights relative to the housing.

5. The stock of claim 4, wherein the housing includes a cheek piece retainer disposed to selectively retain the protrusion in at least one of the plurality of channels.

6. The stock of claim 5, wherein the cheek piece retainer includes an actuation surface that is disposed beneath the outer surface of the housing.

7. The stock of claim 5, wherein the cheek piece retainer is disposed to selectively prevent the telescoping frame from being disconnected from the housing.

8. The stock of claim 1, wherein the stock body defines a vertical axis, the attachment member having an abutment surface and the stock member having a reciprocal abutment surface, wherein when the stock member is disposed in the aligned position, the abutment surface abuts the reciprocal abutment surface and the abutment surface and the reciprocal abutment surface are disposed at a negative angle relative to the axis.

9. The stock of claim 8, wherein the angle is in the range of 1 to 10 degrees.

10. The stock of claim 9, wherein the angle is in the range of 3 to 7 degrees.

11. The stock of claim 1, wherein the attachment member includes a sling swivel attachment feature disposed in a bottom surface of the attachment member.

12. The stock of claim 1, wherein the stock member is pivotally connected to the attachment member via a pin and pivots about a pivot axis, the pin including a push surface, wherein when the stock member and the attachment member are in the aligned position and the push surface is actuated, the pin and the stock member are moved along the pivot axis to permit the stock member to be pivoted from the aligned position.

13. A stock body comprising:

a housing including a plurality of channels;

a telescoping frame fixable at one of a plurality of housing positions; and

a cheek piece including a protrusion, wherein the protrusion is disposed in one of the plurality of channels to position the cheek piece at one of a plurality of heights relative to the housing.

14. The stock body of claim 13, wherein the housing includes a cheek piece retainer disposed to selectively retain the protrusion in one of the plurality of channels.

15. The stock body of claim 14, wherein when the cheek piece retainer is disposed to selectively retain the protrusion in one of the plurality of channels, the cheek piece retainer is also disposed to prevent the telescoping frame from being disconnected from the housing.

16. The stock body of claim 15, wherein the cheek piece retainer includes an actuation surface that is disposed beneath the outer surface of the housing.

17. The stock body of claim 16, the cheek piece retainer includes a projection that is disposed within a retention groove of the telescoping frame.

18. A stock for a firearm, comprising:

an attachment member shaped to attach the stock to a firearm;

a stock member pivotally attached to the attachment member, wherein the stock member is pivotable between an aligned position and a folded position, the stock member including a plurality of stock attachment locations disposed in a recessed surface of the stock member; and

a stock body including;

a housing including a plurality of channels;

a telescoping frame fixable at one of a plurality of housing positions; and

a cheek piece including a protrusion, wherein the protrusion is disposed in one of the plurality of channels to position the cheek piece at one of a plurality of heights relative to the housing;

wherein the telescoping frame selectively moves relative to the housing along a horizontal axis of the stock body, the stock body having a vertical axis perpendicular to the horizontal axis, the attachment member having an abutment surface and the stock member having a reciprocal abutment surface, wherein when the stock member is disposed in the aligned position, the abutment surface abuts the reciprocal abutment surface and the abutment surface and the reciprocal abutment surface are disposed at a negative angle relative to the axis; and

wherein the stock member is pivotally connected to the attachment member via a pin and pivots about a pivot axis, the pin including a push surface, wherein when the stock member and the attachment member are in the aligned position and the push surface is actuated, the pin, the stock member, and stock body are moved along the pivot axis to separate the reciprocal abutment surface from the abutment surface to permit the stock member to be pivoted from the aligned position.

19. The stock body of claim 18, wherein the housing includes a cheek piece retainer disposed to selectively retain the protrusion in one of the plurality of channels, wherein the cheek piece retainer includes an actuation surface that is disposed beneath the outer surface of the housing that upon actuation allows the protrusion to be removed from the one of the plurality of channels.

20. The stock body of claim 19, wherein when the cheek piece retainer is disposed to selectively retain the protrusion in one of the plurality of channels, the cheek piece retainer includes a projection that is disposed within a retention groove of the telescoping frame to prevent the telescoping frame from being disconnected from the housing.
