The assembly includes a brace body with a first or lower body member and a second or upper body member. The body members are configured to engage opposite surfaces of the longitudinal support. A brace portion can be attached to the brace body. In one example, a mounting post extends rearwardly from the brace body and the brace portion includes left and right brace members each having an upper end portion configured to attach to and pivot about the mounting post.
An assembly is configured for retaining a muzzle accessory mounted on a firearm barrel or to a muzzle adapter on the barrel, where the muzzle accessory has a mount with female threads on an inside and male threads on an outside of the mount. The outside of the muzzle adapter has male threads and a bearing surface. A locking nut has inner female threads and an inside taper located proximally of the female threads. A locking ring has a tapered outside face configured to engage the inside taper of the locking nut and an inside face configured to engage the bearing surface. When assembled, the mount is threaded onto the muzzle adapter and the locking nut is threaded onto the accessory mount with the locking ring engaging the bearing surface of the muzzle adapter and the inside taper of the locking nut.
A reticle for an aiming device includes a number of holdover indicators on the reticle that may be individually selected; an input for receiving ballistics data; and a processor configured to, based at least in part on the received ballistics data, select one or more of the holdover indicators; and cause the selected holdover indicator or indicators to visibly change state on the reticle. Methods of operating a digital reticle are also described. Further disclosed is a system that includes the reticle above, as well as a rangefinder for providing range data and a ballistics calculator for providing ballistics data.

Sight assembly and system with firearm status indicator
A sight assembly for a firearm includes an optical sight configured for mounting to a firearm. The optical sight includes a sight body retaining a lens and has a point-of-aim indicator visible on the lens. A light source on the sight body is configured to communicate a firearm status to a user, such as whether a round is chambered in a chamber of the firearm. In one example, the sight assembly can be mounted to a handgun or atop a rifle. In some embodiments, the optical sight is configured as a reflex sight.

A riflescope that stores several grouped ballistics data includes a reticle having individually addressable indicators, a memory that stores two or more stored sets of ballistics data, where each set of ballistics data is mapped to a respective set of indicators of the reticle, a selector configured to choose one of the stored sets of ballistics data as an active set of ballistics data, and a driver structured to energize only those indicators of the plurality of indicators that are mapped to the active set of ballistics data. Methods of selecting an active group of ballistics data are also described.

Target dot sight having target illumination sensor
A target dot sight includes a target illumination sensor that senses the amount of illumination at a target, rather than merely sensing the ambient sight of the entire operating environment. Then, based on the sensed target illumination, the target dot sight may automatically compensate for the brightness of the target.
An accessory mounting system for adjustably mounting an accessory to a firearm accessory rail having a series of slots includes a rail clamping system structured to clamp to the firearm accessory rail, a mounting member having a tab structured to engage with one of the series of slots of the firearm accessory rail; and an adjustment mechanism that allows the accessory to be moved along a long axis of the firearm accessory rail less than a slot pitch of the firearm accessory rail.
A method of pairing a device and a single one of two or more potential pairing devices includes first setting the device in a seek mode and scanning for the potential pairing devices. A list is stored in the device that includes any potential pairing devices discovered while in the seek mode. The list is stored in a sequential order based on a signal strength between the device and each of the discovered potential pairing devices. Then the device determines whether any of the potential pairing devices in the list are set in a predetermined mode, and pairs with the one of the potential pairing devices in the predetermined mode that has the highest signal strength.
A hinge joint includes first and second hinge leaves pivotably mounted on a hinge pin, where the hinge joint is operable between open and closed positions. The hinge joint has a locking mechanism that prevents opening the hinge joint from a closed position until the locking mechanism is moved to the unlocked position. In one example, the locking mechanism includes a plunger retained in the hinge pin. When the plunger is depressed, one or more protrusions can move from a blocking position to a non-blocking position. In some embodiments, the locking mechanism must be moved to the unlocked position prior to opening the hinge joint. The locking mechanism may be used alone or in combination with engagement structures between the first and second hinge leaves. The hinge joint can be part of a folding rifle stock assembly or other hinged assembly.
A flash hider is configured to reduce a firearm's visible signature. The flash hider extends along a central axis from a proximal end to a distal end. The proximal end defines a central opening to an expanding central volume of a first flash hider portion. One or more outer volumes are located radially outside of the central volume and can be part of first and/or second flash hider portions. When the outer volumes are part of the first flash hider portion, the outer volumes can communicate with the central volume. Optionally, a second flash hider portion includes one or more gas passageways located radially outside of the central volume. For example, gas passageways are interspersed circumferentially with outer volumes of the first flash hider portion, where the gas passageways are isolated from first flash hider portion and receive gas flows via vent openings in the outer wall.
