US12650275 - Firearm with buffer assembly

A firearm with buffer assembly has a frame, a bolt assembly operable to reciprocate with respect to the frame between a forward battery position and a rearward recoil position, and the bolt assembly including a hydraulic damper assembly. The hydraulic damper assembly may include at least a first portion connected to the bolt assembly. The first portion of the hydraulic damper assembly may be fixed to the bolt assembly such that the first portion does not move with respect to the bolt assembly in response to forces applied in the forward and rearward direction. The entire hydraulic damper assembly may reciprocate with the bolt assembly. The hydraulic damper assembly is operable to provide damping in response to the bolt assembly striking the frame upon reaching the forward battery position and in response to the bolt assembly striking the frame upon reaching the rearward recoil position.

US12650276 - Lock for a firearm

Locks for a firearm have a lock body configured to be closely and removably received in the magazine well, the lock body having an upper portion configured to extend into the bolt passage when installed in the firearm, with the upper portion interposed between the reciprocating bolt and the forward extending barrel, a locking mechanism at a lower portion of the lock body and having a locked condition and an unlocked condition, and a latch element connected at the upper portion of the lock body and interfacing the locking mechanism to move between an unlocked position when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked condition and a locked position when the locking mechanism is in the locked condition. The latch element may protrude from the lock body when in the locked position. The latch element may protrude in a forward direction from the lock body when in the locked position.

US12650277 - Shooting bench system

A shooting bench is an adaptable device for a firearm, that is designed to be used with a receiver hitch on a vehicle such as a truck or UTV. The device has two trailer jacks used for support and level adjustment which makes the bench very stable and ideal for long range shooting. Further, the device can be used on the ground with a leveling kit for stability and mounted to an elevated hunting blind. Furthermore, the device can rotate 360 degrees and is adjustable with a hand brake that can be operated while seated, locking the bench at any angle. The adjustable seat can extend upwards up to 8 inches and is designed to engage with supporting elements and structures such as bipods, sandbags, “lead sleds” and similar devices. Thus, the device is a hitch receiver mounted shooting bench with high portability that secures to an external vehicle.

A firearm accessory connector includes a mount assembly having a first side and a second side to secure together via one or more fasteners; a flexible member extending from a first end to a second end, the flexible member secured to the mount assembly such that a loop is formed by the flexible member; the flexible member and the mount assembly are to secure an accessory to a firearm.

US12650279 - Grenade launcher

A grenade launcher, comprising a barrel ( 10 ), a trigger mechanism base ( 3 ) and a breech ( 2 ) wherein the trigger mechanism base ( 3 ) is adapted to be mounted on a host rail interface ( 1 ). On the opposed sides ( 3 ) of the trigger mechanism base ( 3 ), guide rails ( 5, 8 ) are arranged for sliding mounting of the barrel ( 10 ). The host rail interface ( 1 ) is clamped between the breech ( 2 ) and the trigger mechanism base ( 3 ). The breech ( 2 ) is fitted with a cavity ( 11 ) that surrounds one of the guide rails ( 5 ). The inner wall of the cavity ( 11 ) is pressed to this guide rail ( 5 ) by a detent ( 4 ) that is insertable between this guide rail ( 5 ) and the opposed inner wall of the cavity ( 11 ) that is inclined in a wedge-like way. A pin ( 6 ) bears on this guide rail ( 5 ) from the inner side, the pin being mounted in a sliding way in a recess transversally in the breech ( 2 ) and fitted with a compression spring ( 7 ).
