The adjustable firearm support of present invention works in combination with a firearm stock having a sling stud mounted to its underside near its butt end. This firearm support includes four basic parts; namely, a support rod, a base member, a position sleeve and a support leg. The support rod has a pivotally mounted clasp for engaging the sling stud and a threaded outer surface for receiving the position sleeve and the support leg which both have threaded central bores. The base member has an upper cradle surface for fitting up against the firearm stock, a central bore for receiving the support rod and a side slot for allowing the support rod to pivot in relation to its clasp into a horizontal folded position. An assembled adjustable firearm support can be attached to a firearm stock by engaging the clasp with the sling stud and tightening the position sleeve up against base member. When the support leg of the attached adjustable firearm support is placed on a stable horizontal surface, the support leg can be rotated about its threads to move it up and down in relation to the support rod to finely adjust the elevation of the firearm. |

Prior art slings used to support rifles during aiming and firing respond to the blood pressure pulse in the shooter's upper am resulting in rhythmic stress in the straps which extend to connect with the rifle. This is caused by the position and singular nature of the prior an attachment between that portion of the sling surrounding the shooter's upper arm and that portion of the sling which extends to the rifle. This interaction between the prior an slings and the shooter's pulse results in movement of the rifle and a reduction in practical accuracy. Slings of the present invention incorporate two attachments to that portion of the sling system which surrounds the shooter's arm and two non parallel straps extending to the rifle. By virtue of the location of these two attachments, the shooter's pulse can no longer create rhythmic stress in the straps extending to the rifle. Motion of the rifle during aiming and firing is reduced and practical accuracy is increased. |

A swivel for attaching a sling to a firearm including a plunger depressible for quick detachment of the swivel from the firearm and a selectively operable retainer movably mounted on the plunger for locking the swivel to the firearm when moved to an operative first position. In the operative first position, the retainer is rotatable on a smaller diameter portion of the plunger without being compelled into axial movement therealong, but can be manipulated into a mated position with a threaded larger-diameter portion of the plunger and then into an opposed position where an enlarged head on the plunger opposes a resiliently expansible tapered sleeve on the retainer. With progressively increasing torque, the retainer is then advanceable to an inoperative second position that permits sufficient depression of the plunger to allow release the swivel from the firearm. |

A retention device for preventing inadvertent release of a shoulder sling from a firearm is provided in the form of a clip having first, second, third and terminal expanses that define a substantially right rectangle and surround the body and gate of the detachable assembly when the gate is in its closed position relative to the body. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the clip is generally U-shaped, with a first planar expanse joining the second and third planar expanses that extend in the same direction therefrom, with the first expanse having a hole formed therein for receiving therethrough the depressible plunger of the detachable assembly. Preferably the clip is integrally formed and its resilience permits the beveled, free ends of the second and third expanses temporarily to be wedged apart as the clip is installed on the detachable assembly. Removal of the clip requires that the free ends of the expanses be sprung apart from their secure snap-fit around the gate while the clip is urged in a direction opposite that of its installation. According to a modification, the clip is generally C-shaped, is provided with a slot in one of the expanses to receive therein the plunger, and is installed laterally. |

A sling assembly for use in carrying shoulder weapons, such as hunting rifles, in a horizontal ready position. A sling strap is connected to sling swivels mounted on the weapon in the conventional positions at the bottom of the butt stock and forestock, by loops which encircle the butt stock and the front portion of the weapon. The rear part of the sling strap is fixed to the rear loop, which is long enough to surround the butt stock and to slip rearwardly off the butt stock as the weapon is raised to the shooter's shoulder. The front end of the strap is free to hang down beside the front portion of the weapon with only the front loop around the top of the weapon, where it does not interfere with use of the sights. Various ways are disclosed to attach the loops to sling swivels or to a handguard on the front portion of the weapon. In one embodiment a slide fastener holds the sling strap at a desired length but is adjustable using only one hand. |

The retractable swivel stud which extends to allow the attachment of a detachable gun sling swivel and strap to a firearm; and when force from the thumb or finger tip is exerted on the textured top surface of the spring-loaded stud, the stud retracts into the gunstock to a flush position and is retained there by means of symmetrically disposed slots, thus, leaving the stock free of protrusions, holes, or slots. The retracted position is retained by rotating the stud ninety-degrees in a clockwise direction, allowing the retaining device to enter detents in the sleeve's cylinder. The reversal of the foregoing procedure will extend the stud and retain it in the extended position. This movement is facilitated by the use of the spring which exerts pressure on the base of the stud at one end and the bottom of the hole in the stock at the other. |

There is disclosed a steadying device for steadying a shoulderheld gun such as a rifle, a shot gun or a carbine when and while being aimed and fired by a gunner. This gun-steadying device provides that an elongate pliable sling is attached to the gun by a stretchable elastic member secured at one end to the sling and at the other end to the gun with a pivotal fastener. The assembly formed by the sling, the stretchable member and the fastener is held in a vertical plane extending downwardly from the gun. The gunner when aiming and firing the gun extends his hand used for holding the gun while aiming the same through the sling. The length of the sling and the stretchable member is such that the gunner must extend the stretchable member to be able to place this hand into the usual position for holding and aiming the gun. Due to this extension of the stretchable member, a force in the direction toward the muzzle of the gun is applied to the gun holding and aiming hand, thereby assuring a tight and strong grip thus steadying the gun for aiming and firing.
