Center balanced gunstock with pistol grip and trigger actuator rod and folding front foregrip

Abstract

A center balanced gunstock with pistol grip and trigger actuator rod and folding front foregrip is an after market gunstock suited for use on well designed, mechanically sound, unaltered rifle actions that would benefit from current production of an ergonomically designed alternate rifle stock system.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to gun stocks, and more particularly to aftermarket gun stocks for well designed, mechanically sound, unaltered rifle actions.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Rifle stocks of military grade battle rifles are typically made from wood products, machined to fit around the rifle actions and provide protection from the barrel, which tends to become heated during repeated firing operations in short periods of time.[0003]The wood itself is an excellent insulator and support mechanism for battle conditions where the wood stock can also be used as a club in the event of close proximity engagement conditions with animals or otherwise.[0004]However, as beautiful and generally functional as a wood stock may be, woods tends to warp due to wood grain differentials.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]The aftermarket center balanced gunstock with pistol grip and trigger actuator rod and folding front foregrip enhances the shooting experience by providing the shooter with remarkable rifle balance, even being able to handle the entire assembled unit with a single hand while meeting all of the dimensional legal requirements for a rifle.

[0009]It also allows a rifle with a longer barrel to be easily transported and utilized, normally benefiting better target accuracy and foot-pounds impact due to the higher muzzle velocities of bullets generated by bullet gases generating additional force due to expansion through a longer barrel.

[0011]If provides for easy access to the original rear of the rifle action trigger group and facilitates removal of the original bolt cover without the use of intricate or easily lost or misplaced screws or means of attachment.

[0012]It is physically designed to separate the stock fore end from the barrel to eliminate as much incidental field conditions warpage as possible, while providing a ventilated handguard to prevent incidental touching of the barrell in the event of repeated firing so that the shooter's fingers do not come in contact with the area above the fore end.

Problems solved by technology

However, as beautiful and generally functional as a wood stock may be, woods tends to warp due to wood grain differentials.

And depending on the configuration, grade, density and moisture content of the wood utilized for the stock, the bullet traveling through the steel rifle barrel may be impacted by unfavorable field conditions which could cause incidental wood warpage.

The wood could thereby affect the accuracy sometimes required by long-range sighting requirements by putting inconsistent pressure on the barrel at points or planes of contact.
