Abstract

A panel attachable to a firearm rail including an elongated body with a top side, an opposed bottom side, a front end, and a rear end. The front end and the rear end each includes at least one aperture extending through the top side to the opposed bottom side of the elongated body. The panel also includes a gripped surface on the top side of the elongated body and a slot extending through the top side to the opposed bottom side. The slot is configured to receive a firearm accessory.

Claims (35)

1. A panel attachable to a firearm rail, the panel comprising:

an elongated body comprising a top side, an opposed bottom side, a front end, and a rear end, the front end and the rear end each comprising at least one aperture extending through the top side to the opposed bottom side of the elongated body, the at least one aperture is configured to receive a fastener;

a gripped surface on the top side of the elongated body; and

a slot extending through the top side to the opposed bottom side configured to receive a firearm accessory.

2. The panel of claim 1 , further comprising a series of protrusions extending from the opposed bottom side.

3. The panel of claim 1 , further comprising a set of crescent protrusions about each at least one aperture on the opposed bottom side.

4. The panel of claim 1 , wherein the slot defines a rounded-edge rectangular orifice.

5. The panel of claim 1 , further comprising,

a middle portion parallel with the slot and at least one aperture; and

a set of side portions angled toward the opposed bottom side.

6. The panel of claim 5 , wherein the middle portion defines a rectangular surface and the set of side portions define a trapezoidal surface.

7. The panel of claim 6 , wherein the slot extends through the top side to the opposed bottom side on the middle portion.

8. The panel of claim 7 , wherein the middle portion adjacent to the slot slopes toward the slot.

9. The panel of claim 6 , wherein the middle portion adjacent to the at least one aperture slopes toward the at least one aperture.

10. The panel of claim 1 , wherein the gripped surface comprises a series of cavities.
