a portion of the second plate is shaped to extend into a second recess in the chassis; and
each of the first plate and the second plate include at least one fastener receiver shaped to accept a respective fastener, each of the fasteners configured to couple the plates to the chassis.
2. The firearm accessory mount interface of claim 1 , wherein:
the firearm tool interface is a quick-disconnect socket.
3. The firearm accessory mount interface of claim 1 , wherein:
a portion of the first one of the pair of interchangeable plates is configured to extend through a first recess in a stock of the firearm; and
a portion of the second one of the pair of interchangeable plates is configured to extend through a second recess in the stock of the firearm.
4. The firearm accessory mount interface of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the first one and second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a flange surface for engaging a corresponding flange surface on the chassis.
5. The firearm accessory mount interface of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the first one and second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a flange surface for engaging a corresponding flange surface on a stock of the firearm.
6. A system, comprising:
a pair of interchangeable plates configured for removable coupling to a chassis of a firearm, each of the pair of interchangeable plates configured for attachment to the chassis at a first location and a second location opposing the first location; wherein
a first one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a recess configured for receiving a portion of a bolt handle of the firearm; and
a second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a firearm tool interface; wherein
a portion of the first plate is shaped to extend through at least a recess in a stock of the firearm;
a portion of the second plate is shaped to extend through at least the recess in the stock of the firearm; and
each of the first plate and the second plate include at least one fastener receiver shaped to accept a respective fastener, each of the fasteners configured to couple the plates to the chassis.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
the firearm tool interface is a quick-disconnect socket.
8. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
each of the first one and second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a flange surface for engaging a corresponding flange surface on the chassis.
9. The system of claim 6 , wherein:
each of the first one and second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a flange surface for engaging a corresponding flange surface on the stock.
10. A firearm, comprising:
a chassis having a first recess and a second recess arranged in opposing locations;
a stock coupled to the chassis and having a third and a fourth recess arranged in opposing locations and aligned with the first and second recesses, the third and fourth recesses being wider than the first and second recesses; and
a pair of interchangeable plates configured for removable coupling to the chassis;
wherein a first one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a recess configured for receiving a portion of a bolt handle of the firearm; and
wherein a portion of the first plate is shaped to extend into the first recess in the chassis;
a portion of a second one of the pair of interchangeable plates is shaped to extend into the second recess in the chassis.
11. The firearm of claim 10 , wherein:
the accessory mount is a quick-disconnect socket.
12. The firearm of claim 10 , wherein:
each of the first one and second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a flange surface that engages a corresponding flange surface on the chassis.
13. The firearm of claim 10 , wherein:
each of the first one and second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises a flange surface that engages a corresponding flange surface on the stock.
14. The firearm of claim 10 , further comprising:
each of the first plate and the second plate include at least one fastener receiver shaped to accept a respective fastener, each of the fasteners coupling one of the pair of interchangeable plates to the chassis.
15. The firearm of claim 10 , wherein:
the second one of the pair of interchangeable plates comprises an accessory mount.
