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 fastener;

a stock member pivotally attached to the attachment member, wherein the stock member is pivotable between an aligned position and a folded position, wherein the stock member includes a plurality of stock attachment locations that are each sized to receive the fastener; and

a stock body, wherein the stock body includes a plurality of stock attachment locations that are each sized to receive the fastener, wherein the stock member and stock body are connected together by the fastener extending through one of the plurality of stock attachment locations of the stock member and one of the plurality of stock attachment locations of the stock body, wherein the plurality of stock attachment locations permit vertical adjustment of the stock body relative to the stock member.

2. The stock of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stock attachment locations include a top stock attachment location and a bottom stock attachment location.

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, further comprising a butt stock pad connected to the stock body, wherein the plurality of stock attachment locations permit vertical adjustment of the stock body and the butt stock pad relative to the stock member and 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. The stock of claim 1, further comprising a second fastener extending through one or more of the plurality of stock attachment locations of the stock member and one of the plurality of stock attachment locations of the stock body to connect the stock member and the stock body.
