Systems, devices, and/or methods for managing gun sights
View Patent ↗Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising a gun sight base. The gun sight base can define a plurality of apertures. The system can also comprise a cap that is couplable to the gun sight base. One of the base and the cap can define a recoil lug.
1. A system comprising:
a gun sight base defined by a surface of a firearm, said gun sight base defining a plurality of apertures; and
a cap, said cap coupleable to said gun sight base via a plurality of fasteners, each of said plurality of fasteners coupled to said firearm via one of said plurality of apertures, a single recoil lug defined by one of said gun sight base and said cap constructed to engage with a corresponding cavity defined by whichever of said gun sight base and said cap does not define said recoil lug, said recoil lug not defining any of said plurality of apertures, wherein when said cap is coupled to said gun sight base:
said recoil lug and each of said plurality of apertures define respective centerlines such that all of said centerlines are aligned along a single longitudinal axis; and
said recoil lug restrains motion of said cap in at least two substantially perpendicular directions relative to a body of said firearm.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
said firearm.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a scope coupled to said cap.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said recoil lug is substantially square with rounded corners.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said gun sight base defines said recoil lug.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap defines said recoil lug.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap is coupled to a fixed sight.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap is coupled to an adjustable sight.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap is coupled to a night sight.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap defines a Picattiny rail.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap is coupled to a fiber optic sight.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein:
said cap defines an open sight.
13. A method comprising:
causing a gun sight base to be coupled to a cap, said gun sight base defining a plurality of apertures, said cap coupleable to said gun sight base via a plurality of fasteners, each of said plurality of fasteners coupled to said firearm via one of said plurality of apertures, a single recoil lug defined by one of said gun sight base and said cap constructed to engage with a corresponding cavity defined by whichever of said gun sight base and said cap does not define said recoil lug, wherein when said gun sight base and said cap are coupled:
said recoil lug and each of said plurality of apertures define respective centerlines such that all of said centerlines are aligned along a single longitudinal axis; and
said recoil lug restrains motion of said cap in at least two substantially perpendicular directions relative to a body of said firearm coupled to said cap.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
causing said firearm to be coupled said gun sight base.
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein:
causing a scope to be coupled said cap.
