Multi-position stock assembly for stabilizing a stock during adjustment along a buffer tube
First Claim
1. An adjustable stock assembly for a firearm having a receiver, the stock assembly comprising:
- a buffer tube extending rearwardly from the receiver, and provided with a series of recesses formed in a bottom member;
a stock having a front end mounted for longitudinal axial sliding movement along the buffer tube, and a rear end provided with a butt plate; and
a lever arrangement is mounted on the stock for slidable movement therewith along the buffer tube to selectively engage and disengage with any of the recesses formed on the buffer tube for locking the stock in various axial positions along the buffer tube,wherein the lever arrangement is positioned between the buffer tube and the stock, and is configured to prevent any movement of the stock relative to the buffer tube other than the longitudinal axial sliding movement of the stock along the buffer tube;
wherein the lever arrangement includes a lever base formed with a set of resilient members that are continuously engaged against outer surfaces of spaced apart opposing side walls at the front end of the stock; and
wherein the resilient members have top edges which extend up to and contact the tubular body.

Abstract
An adjustable stock assembly for a firearm includes a buffer tube extending rearwardly from a receiver, and provided with a series of recesses formed in a bottom portion thereof. A stock has a front end mounted for longitudinal axial sliding movement along the buffer tube, and a rear end provided with a butt plate. A lever arrangement is mounted on the stock for slidable movement therewith along the buffer tube to selectively engage and disengage with any one of the recesses formed in the buffer tube. The lever arrangement is positioned between the buffer tube and the stock, and is configured to prevent any movement of the stock relative to the buffer tube other than the longitudinal axial sliding movement of the stock along the buffer tube.

4. An adjustable stock assembly for a firearm having a receiver, the stock assembly comprising:
-
a buffer tube extending rearwardly from the receiver, and constructed with a tubular body having a depending bottom member provided with opposing side walls and a channel formed with a series of recesses therein; a stock having a front end mounted for longitudinal axial sliding movement along the buffer tube, and a rear end provided with a butt plate; and a lever arrangement mounted on the stock for slidable movement therewith along the buffer tube to selectively engage and disengage with any of the recesses formed in the buffer tube for locking the stock in various axial positions along the buffer tube, wherein the lever arrangement includes a lever base which is slidably received and retained in the front end of the stock, and formed with a set of opposing resent members that are in continuous frictional engagement with outer surfaces of the opposing side walls of the bottom member of the buffer tube; and wherein the resilient members have top edges which extend up to and contact the tubular body. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An adjustable stock assembly for a firearm having a receiver, the stock assembly comprising:
-
a buffer tube extending rearwardly from the receiver, and constructed with a tubular body having a depending bottom member provided with opposing side walls and a channel with a series of recesses formed therein; a stock having a front end mounted for longitudinal axial sliding movement along the buffer tube, and a rear end provided with a butt plate; and a lever arrangement mounted on the stock for slidable movement therewith along the buffer tube to selectively engage and disengage with any of the recesses formed in the buffer tube for locking the stock in various axial positions along the buffer tube, wherein the lever arrangement includes a lever base having a lower end which is slidably received and retained in the front end of the stock, and an upper resent end in continuous frictional engagement with outer surfaces of the opposing side walls on the bottom member of the buffer tube, the lever base being connected between the stock and the buffer tube to prevent any movement of the stock relative to the buffer tube other than the longitudinal axial sliding movement of the stock along the buffer tube; and wherein the upper resilient end extends up to and contacts the tubular body.
