an elongate body having a top end, a bottom end, and an internal cavity defined therein;

a keyed slot disposed at the top end of the elongate body is dimensioned to removably attach to a Picatinny rail of the firearm; and

a lug body rotatably carried within the internal cavity, the lug body comprising a plurality of lugs, the plurality of lugs radially project from a center of rotation of the lug body, each of the plurality of lugs dimensioned to mount to a base of a selected one of a plurality of handgrips.

2. The handgrip mount of claim 1 , further comprising:

a handgrip attachment aperture defined in an end face of each of the plurality of lugs, the handgrip attachment aperture adapted to receive a fastener to attach the selected one of the plurality of handgrips to a corresponding lug.

3. The handgrip mount of claim 1 , the keyed slot further comprising:

a first lateral edge defined by a protrusion of the elongate body; and

a second lateral edge defined by a detachable side plate, the detachable side plate secured to the elongate body via one or more fasteners.

4. The handgrip mount of claim 1 , further comprising:

a pivot hole extends transversely through the lug body;

an aperture extends through a lateral sidewall of the elongate body; and

a pivot pin received through each of the pivot hole and the aperture to rotatably carry the lug body within the internal cavity.

5. The handgrip mount of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of lugs further comprise:

a first lug dimensioned to receive a first handgrip; and

a second lug dimensioned to receive a second handgrip.

6. The handgrip mount of claim 5 , wherein the first handgrip is an M-16/AR-15 handgrip and the second handgrip is an AK-47 handgrip.

7. A handgrip mount for a firearm, comprising:

an elongate body having an internal cavity defined along a longitudinal length of the elongate body, and an opening to the internal cavity at a bottom face of the elongate body;

a clamp coupling defined at a top end of the elongate body, the clamp coupling configured for attachment to a barrel end of the firearm; and

a lug body rotatably carried within the internal cavity, the lug body comprising a plurality of lugs, wherein a rotation of the lug body exposes a selected one of the plurality of lugs to the opening of the internal cavity, each the plurality of lugs dimensioned to mount with a differing base of one of a plurality of handgrips.

8. The handgrip mount of claim 7 , wherein the clamp coupling is adapted to couple to a Picatinny rail disposed on the barrel end of the firearm.

9. The handgrip mount of claim 7 , the claim coupling further comprising:

a keyed slot defined at the top end of the elongate body, the keyed slot having a first lateral edge dimensioned to receive a first side of a Picatinny rail and a plate, operable to clamp a second side of the Picatinny rail.

10. The handgrip mount of claim 1 , further comprising:

a pivot pin received through each of the lug body and the elongate body to rotatably carry the lug body within the internal cavity.

11. A method of adapting a handgrip to a firearm, comprising:

attaching a handgrip mount to a barrel end of the firearm;

selecting one of a plurality of lugs from a lug body rotatably carried within an interior cavity of the handgrip mount, wherein a selected one of the plurality of lugs is exposed through a bottom opening to the interior cavity, and

attaching a first handgrip to the selected one of the plurality of lugs, the first handgrip having a first base corresponding to the selected one of the plurality of lugs.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

removing the first handgrip from the selected one of the plurality of lugs.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

rotating the lug body to select another of the plurality of lugs; and

attaching a second handgrip having a second base corresponding to the selected another of the plurality of lugs.
