First Claim
1. A system for mounting a tactical attachment focused point breaching tool to a firearm having an ammunition tube with a threaded bore and a barrel retaining lug, said system comprising:
- a tactical attachment adapter, said tactical attachment adapter having a firearm mounting end and an opposing tactical attachment mounting end, said firearm mounting end having a first bore fashioned therein, said tactical attachment mounting end having a cavity fashioned therein, said tactical attachment mounting end having one or more pins extending into said cavity;
a mounting bolt, said mounting bolt passing through said first bore in said firearm mounting end of said tactical adapter, engaging said threaded bore of said ammunition tube of said firearm through a clearance bore in said barrel retaining lug; and
a tactical attachment breaching tool, said breaching tool having a mounting structure fixed to a first end of a cylindrical tube,said mounting structure having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion of said mounting structure having one or more “
J”
shaped slots fashioned within an outer surface, said first portion of said mounting structure being inserted into said cavity fashioned within said tactical attachment mounting end of said tactical attachment adapter such that said one or more pins extending into said cavity are engaged within a hook portion of said one or more “
J”
shaped slots, said second portion of said mounting structure fixed to said first end of said cylindrical tube,a second end of said cylindrical tube having a pointed structure fashioned therein, said pointed structure defined by an intersection of two planes, a line of intersection of said two planes perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said cylindrical tube,wherein said tactical attachment adapter has a second bore fashioned therein, said second bore in said tactical attachment adapter extending from said first bore fashioned within said firearm mounting end to said cavity, said second bore in said tactical attachment adapter having a spring and a retaining plate inserted therein, said retaining plate having a first surface in contact with said outer surface of said first portion of said tactical attachment breaching tool mounting structure, said mounting plate having a second opposing surface in contact with said spring, said spring captured between said firearm mounting end of said tactical attachment adapter and said mounting plate.

Abstract
A system for mounting a plurality of tactical attachments to firearms is disclosed. Tactical attachments such as laser illumination sights, flashlights, bayonets, and breaching tools are interchangeable and attached with a single adapter mounted to the end of a magazine ammunition tubes and auxiliary accessory rails such as Picatinny rails. Adapters of varying lengths provide increased ammunition capacity. The tactical devices have a common mounting structure for mating to the adapter, which includes a optional locking ring to assure the tactical device cannot become dislodged from the adapter during firearm usage. The adapter/tactical device interface allows rapid swapping of tactical devices without the need of tools.
