Systems and methods for multi-accessory mount assembly for a firearm
A multi-accessory mount assembly for use with a firearm, and methods for coupling the assembly to the firearm are provided. The assembly may include a proximal portion having a lower surface configured to be removably coupled to the firearm and an upper surface configured to be removably coupled to a sub mount. The sub mount may be configured to be removably coupled to a first firearm accessory, e.g., an optic scope, a red dot sight, a reflex sight, a night vision monocular or scope, or a magnifier. The assembly further may include a distal portion extending distally from the proximal portion via a neck portion, such that the distal portion is elevated higher than the proximal portion. An upper surface of the distal portion may be configured to be removably coupled to a second firearm accessory, e.g., an infrared laser or a night vision monocular or scope.
1. A multi-accessory mount assembly for use with a firearm with a muzzle end and a breach end, the mount assembly comprising:
a base that can be removably coupled to a firearm rail;
a first mount coupled to the base and having a first mounting platform configured to receive a first firearm accessory the first mounting platform at a first height above the firearm rail when the mount assembly is coupled to the firearm rail;
a second mount coupled to the base and extending from the base towards the muzzle end of the firearm when coupled to the firearm rail, and the second mount having a second mounting platform configured to receive a second firearm accessory, the second mounting platform at a second height above the firearm rail when the mount assembly is coupled to the firearm rail, wherein the first height is greater than the second height; and
wherein at least a portion of the second mount forms a gap between the portion of the second mount and the firearm rail when the multi-accessory mount assembly is coupled to the firearm rail.
2. The mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first mount or the second mount is removable from the base.
3. The mount assembly of claim 2 , wherein the base includes a protrusion and the second mount includes a grove sized to receive the protrusion for aligning the second mount to the base.
4. The mount assembly of claim 3 , wherein the second mount is secured to the base by fasteners.
5. The mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first mounting platform and the second mounting platform are axially aligned along a longitudinal axis of the firearm.
6. The mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least the portion of the second mount extends at an angle from the base.
7. The mount assembly of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a knob configured to be actuated to lock the base to the firearm along the firearm rail.
8. The mount assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a third mount coupled to the base and including a third mounting platform configured to receive a third firearm accessory.
9. The mount assembly of claim 8 , wherein the third mount is configured to receive a magnifier.
10. The mount assembly of claim 8 , wherein the third mounting platform is at a third height above the firearm rail when the mount assembly is coupled to the firearm rail, wherein the third height is different than at least one of the first height and the second height.
