Abstract
An accessory mount particularly well suited to a broad variety of weapons (e.g., Heckler & Koch firearms) comprises a plug portion that fits within the weapon accessory mounting hole and is radially expanded, e.g., by means of an interior mandrel, to provide large area, high friction, robust engagement between the plug and the mounting hole. A second portion for holding an accessory (e.g., a laser sight) is coupled to the plug by an alignment means and a hand operated screw or lock so that the accessory is easily removed and reinstalled in the same position relative to the weapon boresight without need for recalibration.
