Abstract

Implementations of a multiple accessory gun mount are provided. In some implementations, through the use of interchangeable accessory adaptors, a user may configure the multiple accessory gun mount to position and secure a variety of accessories in a variety of configurations on a firearm. In some implementations, the multiple accessory gun mount may comprise a hub having a top side, a bottom side, and a first side. In some implementations, an accessory such as a front sight may be secured directly to the top side of the hub. In some implementations, an accessory adaptor may be secured to the top side, the first side, and/or the second side of the hub. In this way, an end user may use one or more accessory adaptors to secure one or more firearm accessories to the hub in a variety of configurations based on the end user's needs and/or preferences.

Claims (27)
