Abstract

A firearm support system, has a stock unit configured to be carried by a firearm, the first unit having a first complementary component and a belt unit configured to be carried by a belt, the second unit having a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component.

Claims (25)

1. A firearm support system, comprising:

a stock unit configured to be carried by a firearm, the stock unit comprising a first complementary component; and

a belt unit configured to be carried by a belt, the belt unit comprising a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component;

wherein the second complementary component comprises a channel extending generally in a vertical direction and wherein the first complementary component is configured to selectively move within the channel in the vertical direction;

wherein the belt unit comprises at least two openings extending substantially longitudinally in the vertical direction and configured to receive a belt, at least one of the at least two openings being located leftward relative to the channel when the belt unit is viewed from a front side of the belt unit and at least one of the at least two openings being located rightward relative to the channel when the belt unit is viewed from the front side; and

wherein the second complementary component comprises a ramp that extends forward from the rear plate, wherein the at least two openings are formed in the rear plate, and wherein the at least two openings are located rearward relative to the ramp when the belt unit is viewed from above.

2. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the stock unit comprises a hook and loop type fastener.

3. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the first complementary component comprises a disc shaped head attached to a shaft.

4. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the second complementary component comprises a U-shaped channel.

5. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the second complementary component comprises a catch carried by the ramp.

6. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the second complementary component comprises a catch carried by the ramp and wherein the ramp is configured for selective deflection toward a curvature of the belt unit.

7. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the belt unit comprises at least two openings located leftward relative to the channel when the belt unit is viewed from the front.

8. The firearm support system of claim 1 , wherein the belt unit comprises at least two openings located rightward relative to the channel when the belt unit is viewed from the front.

9. A firearm support system, comprising:

a stock unit configured to be carried by a firearm, the stock unit comprising a first complementary component; and

a belt unit configured to be carried by a belt, the belt unit comprising a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component, the belt unit comprising a substantially rigid curved rear plate;

wherein the second complementary component comprises a channel extending generally in a vertical direction and wherein the first complementary component is configured to selectively move within the channel in the vertical direction; and

wherein the belt unit comprises at least four openings extending substantially longitudinally in the vertical direction and configured to receive a belt, at least two of the at least four openings being located leftward relative to the channel when the belt unit is viewed from a front side of the belt unit and at least two of the at least four openings being located rightward relative to the channel when the belt unit is viewed from the front side; and

wherein the second complementary component comprises a biased ramp that extends forward from the rear plate, wherein the at least four openings are formed in the rear plate, and wherein the at least four openings are located relatively rearward relative to the ramp when the belt unit is viewed from above.

10. A firearm support system, comprising:

a stock unit configured to be carried by a firearm, the stock unit comprising a first complementary component; and

a belt unit configured to be carried by a belt, the belt unit comprising a second complementary component configured for selective engagement with the first complementary component;

wherein the second complementary component comprises a channel extending generally in a vertical direction and wherein the first complementary component is configured to selectively move within the channel in the vertical direction; and

wherein the second complementary component comprises a catch carried by a biased ramp and wherein the ramp is biased toward a front of the belt unit;

wherein the biased ramp extends forward from the rear plate, wherein at least two openings are formed in the rear plate, and wherein the at least two openings are located rearward relative to the biased ramp when the belt unit is viewed from above.
