Coupling firearm accessories to a firearm

摘要

A system for coupling various types of firearm accessories to a firearm having an accessory rail may include a coupling member. The coupling member may include a head and a threaded body. The head may have a diameter that fits through a first region of an accessory rail of a firearm but not through a second region. A method of coupling a firearm accessory to a firearm may include inserting the head of the coupling member through the first region of the accessory rail and moving the threaded body into the second region of the accessory rail. The method may further include driving the threaded body into the threaded hole such that the coupling member and firearm accessory are compressed against the accessory rail.

1. A method of coupling firearm accessories to a firearm, the method comprising:
coupling an end of a body of a coupling member to a hole in a firearm accessory, the end disposed opposite a head of the body and including a drive region; inserting the head of the coupling member through a first region of a first void disposed in an accessory rail of the firearm, the first void having a second region with an area less than an area of the first region, the head having a diameter that fits through the first region of the void but not through the second region of the void; sliding the firearm accessory, wherein sliding the firearm accessory moves the body of the coupling member into the second region of the first void and moves a recoil lug of the firearm accessory into a first region of a second void disposed in the accessory rail, the second void having a second region with an area less than an area of the first region; and driving the body of the coupling member via the drive region into the hole of the firearm accessory, wherein driving the body brings the head of the coupling member into compression with a surface at least partially defining the first void of the accessory rail and brings the recoil lug of the firearm accessory into compression with a surface at least partially defining the second void of the accessory rail.
