Abstract

A weapon sight interface for mounting a device on a weapon having a rear sight and front sight, including an enhanced rear sight for replacing the rear sight of the weapon, having a base for installing in a dovetail slot of the weapon, an elongated tail that extends along the barrel of the weapon; and one or more tritium dots or white dots configured to enable use of the enhanced rear sight as a rear sight of the weapon; and also having a quick release interface for attaching to the device and locking onto the enhanced rear sight, having guides to securely fit onto the enhanced rear sight, a quick release lever, which in a first position causes the guides to lock onto the enhanced rear sight and in a second position releases the enhanced rear sight so that the quick release interface can slide off.

Claims (15)

1. A method of interfacing a device to a weapon having a body with a rear sight and front sight thereon, comprising:

removing the rear sight from a dovetail slot on the weapon;

installing an enhanced rear sight into the dovetail slot of the weapon, the enhanced rear site having a base that fits into the dovetail slot and an elongated tail that extends from the base along the body of the weapon toward the front sight; wherein the elongated tail includes a crevice across a width of the elongated tail;

coupling the device to a quick release interface;

placing the quick release interface with the device onto the elongated tail of the enhanced rear sight; the quick release interface comprising a crossbar bolt that is fits into the crevice to stabilize the quick release interface and prevent the quick release interface from moving relative to the elongated tail;

immobily locking the quick release interface to the enhanced rear sight with a lever that is configured to toggle between an opened state and a locked state so that they move together under recoil forces;

wherein the base is wider than the elongated tail and configured to block the quick release interface from sliding backward off the elongated tail; and

wherein the enhanced rear sight can serve as an independent gun-sight.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the independent gun sight uses tritium dots.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the independent gun sight uses white dots.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the independent gun sight includes two dots on two sides of a U shaped, V shaped or square shaped crevice for enabling aiming of the device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the quick release interface includes a moveable guide and a non-moveable guide for immobily locking the quick release interface to the enhanced rear sight.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the lever in a first position presses on the moveable guide to lock the quick release interface onto the enhanced rear sight.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the quick release interface includes multiple screw holes configured to couple the quick release interface under the device.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising replacing the front sight with an enhanced front sight having a white dot or a tritium dot.
