Collapsible reflective sight for a firearm
A collapsible reflective optical sight for a firearm, including a base configured to mount the collapsible reflective optical sight to a firearm; a lens attached to and able to rotate with respect to the base, wherein the lens includes an optic with a reflective surface, and the lens is able to be folded with respect to the base to store the lens in a collapsed configuration and is able to be angled with respect to the base to aim the firearm with the lens in a deployed configuration; a light source on the base that reflects a light off the reflective surface of the optic to aim the firearm; and a mechanical sight adjustably mounted to the base to aim the firearm. Additionally, the collapsible reflective optical sight can include a firearm and a hood.
1. A collapsible reflective optical sight for a firearm, comprising:
a lens attached to and able to rotate with respect to the firearm, wherein the lens includes an optic with a reflective surface, and the lens is able to be folded with respect to a firearm to store the lens in a collapsed configuration and is able to be angled with respect to the firearm to aim the firearm with the lens in a deployed configuration;
a light source on the firearm that reflects a light off the reflective surface of the optic to aim the firearm;
a rotatably mounted hood in continuous contact with an upper portion of the lens; and
an adjustably mounted mechanical sight to aim the firearm, wherein
the rotatably mounted hood folds over the lens in the collapsed configuration and is angled from the firearm to the upper portion of the lens in the deployed configuration,
the upper portion of the lens rotates with respect to the rotatably mounted hood, and
a lower portion of the lens is guided in a track during movement to an end position in both the deployed and collapsed configurations.
2. The collapsible reflective optical sight of claim 1 , further comprising a release switch in communication with the rotatably mounted hood to lock the lens and the rotatably mounted hood in the collapsed configuration and to release the lens from the collapsed configuration into the deployed configuration.
3. The collapsible reflective optical sight of claim 1 , wherein the adjustably mounted mechanical sight is located on the lens.
4. The collapsible reflective optical sight of claim 1 , wherein the adjustably mounted mechanical sight is located on the hood.
